Every year, a huge number of kids start playing football. Many begin straight away outdoors, on artificial grass pitches, whilst others take their first steps in indoor sports halls. In these venues, there is no artificial grass, but rather synthetic surfaces similar to those used on basketball or volleyball courts.
One of the most common questions parents have is what footwear to buy for their kids: they’re unsure whether to choose football boots with studs or some other type of shoes. In our view, the best option is to start with a pair of futsal shoes. As we’ve mentioned, many kids start playing on rubber surfaces, where it’s impossible to wear studded boots.
That’s why, today, we want to tell you about the best futsal shoes for kids who want to get started in this wonderful sport, whether it’s futsal or football in general.
All the shoes we’re showing you have one thing in common: they feature a strap fastening system. Some models do away with laces entirely, which is very practical for kids who haven’t yet learnt how to tie them.
The first ones we’re showing you are the Nike Mercurial futsal shoes. The American brand, known for its 11-a-side football boots, also has some excellent models designed specifically for futsal.
As you can see in the picture, this model has no laces, making it very comfortable for younger kids. This means they won’t have to keep stopping to ask for help when tying their shoes.
What’s more, it features a rather innovative sole, which isn’t too thick and doesn’t have an excessive amount of cushioning. However, it does include rubber sections that help absorb the impact of jumps and sudden falls.
The second option we’d like to suggest is Puma futsal shoes, specifically the Puma One futsal shoes.
In this case, the fastening system combines a self-adhesive strap with laces to ensure an optimal fit. The upper is made from a synthetic material that mimics the look of leather and offers greater durability.
We now turn to a Spanish brand which, although it does not have such a strong presence in the 11-a-side football boot market, really stands out in futsal: Joma.
Specifically, we’re talking about the Joma Supercopa. This model also stands out for its comfort and features a single self-adhesive fastening strap that makes it easy to adjust and allows younger kids to put them on with ease.
The sole is particularly comfortable and offers good cushioning, an important feature to support kids during their first training sessions and matches.
Last but not least, we’d like to introduce Kelme futsal shoes. This model features three hook-and-loop fasteners that make it easy to put the shoes on and adjust them to fit your feet.
It also has a comfortable and flexible sole, designed to cushion impacts with the ground and provide a comfortable stride.
All these products are available on the Fútbol Emotion website.
