Children's football shoes: the latest trends

What can you find in the kids' football boots section?

This page gathers kids' football boots that have recently been added to the catalogue from Nike and adidas, covering all types of studs (FG, MG, TF, AG). You’ll find models suitable for soft ground, synthetic, or firm surfaces, for both younger children and older ones who already play in a club. The selection changes with new arrivals and current collections, making it a great stop to check out what's just come out without having to compare all the pages one by one.

adidas F50, Predator, Nike Mercurial, Phantom: which ranges to choose?

Each range caters to a style of play rather than just an aesthetic choice. The F50 from adidas focuses on lightness and quick support, designed for kids who play at speed and in short bursts. The Predator, with its engineered contact surface, is more suited for those who seek precision in shooting and passing. On the Nike side, the Mercurial is associated with acceleration and through play, while the Phantom prioritises ball control and stability, both key qualities for a child starting to build their game.

No range is inherently better than another: the right choice depends mainly on the position, usual playing surface, and the child's shoe size, more than the name of the model.

Screwed, moulded, or multi-ground studs: how to make sense of it?

The type of sole primarily depends on the surface where the child plays most often. Moulded studs (FG or MG) are suitable for good quality natural grass or synthetic surfaces, while turf soles (TF) are designed for shorter synthetic surfaces or firm pitches. AG models, with longer and spaced studs, are ideal for abrasive synthetic terrains. For a child playing both in training and matches on different surfaces, a pair of multi-ground boots is often the simplest choice to manage on a daily basis.

Teams, goalkeepers: other kids' shoes and accessories pages

If you’re looking for something other than football boots, several pages complement the kids' selection:

• The Teams page brings together jerseys and kits from clubs and national teams, to dress your child in the colours of their favourite team.
• The Goalkeepers page groups equipment specific to the position, including gloves and appropriate kits for ground play.
• The Kids page provides an overview of all new arrivals for the youngest, covering all types of products.

Where to find good deals on kids' football boots?

The site hosts its offers in dedicated pages, which can be checked depending on the time of year. As Black Friday approaches, and during the end of year festivities, the Black Friday page and the Special Offers page concentrate the ongoing promotions. During the winter sales and the French Days in spring, the Sales and Good Deals pages should be your main focus. The Clearance page allows you to find end-of-line products all year round, while the Shipped in 24h page helps spot models available quickly among the new arrivals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between kids' football boots FG and MG?

The FG (Firm Ground) designation refers to moulded studs intended for firm natural grass, while MG (Multi Ground) corresponds to a sole designed to adapt to various surfaces, including some synthetic ones. A pair of MG offers more versatility if the child frequently changes playing surfaces.

How can you tell if a pair of kids' football boots is the right size?

A child's foot grows quickly, so it's useful to regularly check the space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe, leaving about half a centimetre. A shoe that's too tight can hinder running, while a pair that's too large can reduce ball control accuracy.

Are kids' football boots different from adult models?

Yes, the kids' versions generally replicate the design of adult ranges (F50, Predator, Mercurial, Phantom) but come in appropriate sizes, and sometimes feature a lighter upper or sole for the comfort of younger players. The ranges and technologies remain consistent between kids' and adult sizes of the same model.

Where can you find kids' football boots at a better price?

The best deals are generally found on the Sales and Clearance pages, which gather current offers regardless of the time of year. As Black Friday approaches or during the French Days, the Good Deals page also centralises occasional promotions.

Do you need different studs for a child playing indoors?

Yes, indoor play requires a flat, smooth sole, very different from moulded or screw-in studs used outdoors. This type of shoe isn’t included in the stud ranges presented on this page, which pertains to outdoor surfaces (grass, synthetic, firm).
