The children aged 7 to 10 do not play in formal leagues, but attend friendly match games each week, actually, these years are important for them because they learn fundamental techniques and prepare them for further improvement.

Attending the match games and winning a mini cup or some individual award gives the children confidence and strength that they can play football in good for their age level, which is very important for their success.

How to choose the perfect football boots for your child

 As a parent of a child who plays football every day I face the challenge of what boots should he wear during the different training sessions and matches. For sure you are wondering the same when you go shopping for football boots, that's why in this article we will carefully explain what is the difference between all models and how to choose the right one.

Regardless of what brand you prefer the boots firstly should be comfortable and of course the right size. Depending on what ground the kids are training the shoes are differentiated into three main models which are Astro, Mouldies, and Blades.

Astro Football Boots

These models are specially designed for artificial turf, so if your child's training sessions are on such a surface it is best for them to wear Astro football boots. There is a big choice in the market, but if the child is too young you can buy them laceless and some models are budget-friendly. Bearing in mind that kids' feet grow so quickly, the best option is to buy two sizes bigger and put some cotton in front of the shoe.

Moulded Football Boots

Moulded Football Boots or just Mouldies are football boots with small plastic or rubber studs on the sole and they are perfect for grass root surfaces, therefore if the pitch that the children play on is from natural grass buy them Mouldies.

Blades Football Boots

Blades football boots have wilder fin-shaped studs on the sole and may be different sizes, materials, and shapes depending on the brand and model. They are designed for harder ground or wet grass, and it is not recommended to be worn on artificial turf. Some models have metal studs on the sole, which is not a good idea to be worn by kids.

In conclusion, I can say that if your child is mad about football you should buy them all different variants of football boots as they are playing on different grounds all the time.
