Children's football shoes

Children's football boots: what ranges does Foot-Store offer?

The selection includes children's football boots from the adidas F50 and Predator ranges, as well as Nike models, available in versions suitable for natural grass (FG), synthetic pitches (MG or AG), and soft or indoor surfaces (TF). These ranges cater for both everyday training and match days, with sizes designed for younger children as well as pre-teens.

How to choose a boot based on the pitch and the child's age?

The choice mainly depends on the surface the child plays on most often. A child who mainly plays on natural grass needs FG studs, while a child training on synthetic or stabilized surfaces will go for MG or AG soles designed for that type of ground. For indoor sessions or on hard ground, TF soles, which are denser and multi-studded, offer better grip without damaging the foot. Comfort and foot support also evolve with age: younger kids need soft fitting and good ankle support, while older children edge closer to adult models in terms of stability and striking precision.

adidas and Nike: two approaches for young players

Both brands offer their flagship ranges in children's sizes, maintaining the spirit of each line. At adidas, the F50 range focuses on speed and lightness, designed for profiles that love to accelerate and change pace, while the Predator range emphasises ball control and striking precision thanks to a refined contact surface. At Nike, the lines provided for children follow the same logic: shoes designed for explosiveness and the first touch, or for better ball feel depending on the chosen model. The right choice mainly depends on the child's position and their feeling for the game rather than the brand itself.

Complete the kit for the sports season

Beyond the shoes, several pages help complete the child's training gear:

• Training shirts, for daily use on the pitch.
• Training tops, to pair with shoes according to the season and weather.
• Training bottoms, shorts or trousers suitable for club sessions.
• Training tracksuits, handy for travel and warm-up.
• Goalkeeper gloves, for children who play as a goalkeeper.

You can also go back to the Children page to see all the available categories for the sports season.

Good deals: when should you check the prices of children's football boots?

The prices of children's football boots change mainly during certain times of the year. Black Friday and the holiday season often concentrate the first discounts, followed by the winter sales and then the French Days in spring. The Good Deals page lists current offers, while the clearance section allows you to find end-of-season deals to watch for. The special offers and new arrivals complement this tracking, and the 24h shipping page helps to spot models available quickly before a training session or a match.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if my child needs studs or multi-ground shoes?

The simplest reference is the surface on which they play most often during the week. A child alternating between several pitches (club, school, playground) will benefit from a multi-stud or MG sole, which is more versatile than an FG sole designed only for natural grass.

Do we need to get gloves for a child playing goalkeeper?

Yes, shoes alone are not enough for this position: gloves that fit the child's hand size improve ball handling and protect the fingers. The selection of goalkeeper gloves helps complete the young keeper's kit.

What is the most common mistake when choosing children's boots?

The most common mistake is choosing long-stud FG soles for playing indoors or on hard surfaces, which quickly wears out the boots and reduces grip. It's better to rely on the actual playing surface rather than the model worn by professional players.

When is the best time to buy children's football boots?

The most interesting deals typically come around Black Friday, the holiday season, and then the sales. The sales page and the good deals page provide updates on these periods without waiting for a specific date.

Should I complete the shoes with a full training outfit?

It's not compulsory, but suitable tops and bottoms make movement easier and help regulate temperature during exertion. The training tops and training bottoms pages allow you to complete the outfit according to the child's needs.
