Soccer Shoes

There’s a huge variety of soccer shoes on the market.

For youth soccer played outdoors, the best choices are either soccer cleats or soccer turfs, also called turf shoes. Within each category, there’s also a choice of “studs” or “blades”. The choice of studs or blades is a personal preference.
