What is the best brand of soccer cleats?

Answer 1

There are a number of reasons for having kids wear soccer cleats. Shoes (or boots, if you're from the other side of the pond), with their integrated cleats, provide traction for accelerating and maneuvering on the field. Anyone who is running and changing speed and/or direction as constantly as a soccer player will benefit enormously from the advantage afforded by cleats. And if a kid is going to keep playing as he turns into an older kid, a highschool kid, a college kid and/or a professional soccer player, he's gonna be wearing these at every game. Might as well get used to them. Though the shoes can be a bit uncomfortable at times, especially in the beginning, a reasonably good pair will provide adequate support and become fairly easy to wear. There are some safety issues regarding the cleats. Players (and officials, but that's another story) can get hung up a bit because of them, and then they twist something or trip and fall. Ouch! But players who are wearing shoes without the cleats can slip and fall big time when trying to play the game without the traction benefits of soccer shoes. (Especially on grass, and even more so on grass that is wet!) That hurts, too. The performance advantages have generally been judged to outweigh (and by far) the extra burden of having to get the littler kids to wear them and to learn and deal with the risks the cleats impose. The hazards posed to other players by someone wearing cleats are pretty straight forward. Ask older players if they've ever had a collision where they ended up coming away with a cleat mark on a body part. Chances are good they have. But we generally play with our cleats down, and besides, the rules (Laws of the Game) require that tackles be made with the shoes (cleats) down. That's a specific burden placed on the players to minimize the possibility of injury to an opponent. If a player slides in to make a tackle and aims one of his cleats at his opponent's leg and ends up spiking him, it almost certainly will result in discipline from the referee. A caution is probably guaranteed, and it isn't hard for the official to justify a red card and the subsequent send off for that offending player who deliberately (or even inadvertently) lifts his cleats in a tackle. But little kids are not allowed to slide tackle anyway. Oh, and someone has to buy the cleats, too. Don't forget that. The good news is that a lot of soccer clubs, especially recreational ones, have shoe swaps. And there are thrift stores and second hand sports stores. There are a lot of good used shoes out there. What little kid doesn't outgrow his shoes before he wears them out? Don't forget to pick up a can of spray shoe disinfectant. It's that stuff like they use at the Bowling alley. Anyway, little kids should be wearing soccer cleats when playing soccer. The risks are minimal, and can be managed by the player, the coach and the officials. As to the benefits of cleats? No "real" soccer player, young or old, recreation or competitive, would dream of playing in a match without them. Lastly, there's this. What soccer kid is gonna wanna play the game without the proper shoes, the shin guards, the long socks and the uniform? I've never met one. Ever.

Answer 2

the best cleats are usually nike or Adidas. whatever you do, do not get synthetic cleats. they rip apart easily and make you have weird first touches. The best kind to get is kangaroo leather. both nike and Adidas have them. newer cleats now have first touch spots which definitely help so I recommend looking for those.I would have to say adidas F50s

It is ludicrous to say that one brand is always better than another brand. To be fair; all manufacturers make cleats that are lower price as well as the upper price range. You can find great cleats in all brands: Nike, Adidas, Diadora, Under Armour, Asics, Pele, Puma, Umbro, Lotto, Joma, Pirma, Warrior. Trick is to TRY THEM ON, to get a feel for what is comfortable for you. You will probably find that leather boots wear better and after a short while will conform to your foot better than a synthetic. Before you buy, go to a few local Soccer stores and get imput from the sales people as well as try on a few pair.

Answer 3

soccer or football cleats, football because they can be hightops and can help prevent rolling your ankle or if your kicked you have more protection soccer because they weigh less and if theres mud they don't get stuck in the mud as easily.

Answer 4

It usually depends on what type of boots you want to wear. I'd really recommend Nike Mercurials for speed, touch, and comfort. If you want lots of traction and ball control, I'd recommend Adidas Predators or AdiZeros. I'd also say that T-90s are best for shooting and if you were a midfielder.

Answer 5

the best soccer shoe brand is adidas. that of course is my personal opinion, however i have worn just about every brand, or at least all the most popular, and definitly endorse adidas. especially the new f50s... lightest ever. i think adidas is the best soccer bran period. they make all the balls used in the champions league and world cup, and they seem to be the favorite of many pros.(except ronaldo cause nike gave him a bunch of money)

Answer 6

Well there are many good cleats.

For Example: F50's Predators Total 90 Strike Shoots or Laser, my favorite would be Vapors but the best for kids would be The Total 90 Shoots
