10 Best Kids' Football Boots UK 2024 | adidas, Nike and More

First introduced to the world over 25 years ago, the adidas predator is one of the best-known football boots ever to have existed. Having been popularised by world-class players, such as David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane, now your child can wear them too.

Released in 2021, the Predator Freaks feature everything that made their predecessors successful. Namely, these football boots offer superior comfort and grip, with a few additions, such as a TPU-injected outsole and adjustable lace closure fit for growing feet.

There's no reason that legendary boots should only be worn on the field. If your child is a turf player searching for the superior speed and optimal traction offered by Nike's latest Mercurial Vapors, they need look no further than this pair.

Featuring a soft synthetic material and a light foam insole for superior comfort, as well as rubber soles for extra grip, they're a fantastic all-round choice. We especially like that lovely shade of blue, which is sure to set your child apart!

Adidas's Ghosted boots are designed with speed in mind. Agility is at the forefront of this pair, from the lightweight construction that'll hug their feet and allow them to run at maximum speed to the stretchy upper material, helping your child to put them on quick as a flash! 

They're also incredibly comfortable, with a nice soft inner and a lowered heel that'll make them feel as if they're walking on air. If it's speed, rather than power that your child is after, these boots are unparalleled.

Originally used exclusively on their trainers, Puma have now begun to implement their Netfit lacing system on their football boots. This brings huge advantages, such as perfect lockdown, and a fit that adapts with every movement of the foot.

Add to this a nice lightweight construction, a supremely comfortable sock-like fit and a beautiful yellow and black colour scheme, and you've got a top-class boot that your football-loving child will go crazy for.

Offering a more affordable alternative to Nike's Mercurial Vapor 13's, the Academy provide kids with the same sleek design and speed that the popular boots are known for. But, with a few minor changes that'll put slightly less pressure on their parents' wallets! 

For example, these boots have a synthetic upper rather than a knitted one, and less of a 'barefoot' feeling when it comes to making contact with the ball. That said, they're still extremely comfortable and are a great entry point to trying the boots that have terrorised defenders for over 20 years. 

The first thing that'll catch your eye about these boots is their vivid orange and yellow colour scheme. While they're certainly beautiful, don't let that distract you from everything else this boot has to offer. 

We're particularly fans of the low silhouette, which will give your child secure lockdown, allowing them to manoeuvre their feet and control the ball with ease. They've clearly been designed with speed in mind, and these boots work equally well on both hard and artificial ground.

Every budding player has their favourite footballing hero. This pair will allow your child to perform magic and intimidate their rivals, with agility that mirrors one of the greatest players of all time – Lionel Messi, for whom these boots are named.

With a stud configuration that's designed specifically for agility, a TPU-injected outsole that performs especially well on firm ground, and a choice of several vibrant designs, they'll be positively itching to get onto the pitch.

Wondering what the 'GT' in this football boot's name stands for? Well, it actually stands for 'generative texture', which describes the leather used to make them. This basically translates as a boot with superior grip.

This results in unparalleled control, which is particularly important if your child is keen on using their skills to set themselves apart from their peers. To top it off, this boot also features a nice raised back which will protect them from any unexpected challenges. A solid choice. 

Made with the aim of allowing you to achieve perfect accuracy no matter what your position, adidas' Copa Futsal trainers are ideal for kids that love to show off their technical skills – particularly when playing indoor football or 'futsal'. 

They're also incredibly comfortable, offering a nice close fit and proper traction that'll allow your child to weave in and out of the competition. Due to the lack of grip, we wouldn't recommend these for outdoor sports. 

The beautiful game isn't for everyone, so if you know your child isn't going to be using their football boots past the next term, it makes little sense to splash out an expensive pair. Luckily, there are plenty of budget options available, such as this pair from Saekeke.

While you shouldn't expect them to last as long as premium pair, they've got everything they'll need to perform on the pitch, including a comfortable leather upper and conical rubber studs that can be used on both real and artificial grass.
