Given that the age at which kids first join a football team has fallen considerably in recent years, it stands to reason that demand for football boots and futsal shoes in very small sizes continues to grow. One of the main reasons for this is the boom in football academies, which have now established themselves as a very popular after-school activity amongst kids aged 5 to 8. In these schools, as well as being introduced to the sport, they begin to develop skills and values that can shape their future, both on and off the pitch. As a result of this growing demand, an increasing number of clubs now run training academies for both football and futsal.
However, as these are very young kids, it is common for many parents to opt to buy football boots straight away, thinking they are the most suitable footwear for playing the sport. In our opinion, whether they play football or futsal, during the early years the best option is a pair of specialist shoes. For futsal, IC (Indoor Court) shoes are recommended, and for training sessions or matches on artificial turf pitches, Turf football boots. We mustn’t forget that football is a contact sport in which young kids spend much of their time running after the ball, constantly changing direction and coming into contact with other players.
In these early stages, it is essential that the footwear is comfortable, durable and provides good stability. That is why we believe that, even for playing football on grass, football shoes are a better option than boots with larger studs. The latter are more suitable once the kid has developed better technique and control of their movements. Finally, when it comes to very young kids, it is also advisable to choose football shoes with adhesive tape fastenings, as this will make it much easier for them to put them on and adjust them by themselves.
