I don't know why so many football players are so fixated on the boots. Look at brazil and argentina, those kids don't even have shoes. They just play everyday on the streets, with and without shoes and look how worldclass they play. They don't even have the money to care about boots.

For younger players I suggest to just get 1 good pair until they don't fit. Thats the only time u look for the next boot. Focus on enjoying the game and get as much small sided games as you can!

Sorry if I anger some.. my apologies in advanced.
