Parent Buying Tips

  • Choose cleats based on the field surface first.
  • Check sizing with soccer socks, not regular socks.
  • Do not buy cleats too big just to make them last longer.
  • Beginners usually need comfort before elite-level performance features.
  • Use turf shoes on short turf instead of aggressive firm ground studs.
  • Replace cleats when the fit, outsole, or comfort clearly breaks down.
