- If you are just looking for a single pair of soccer shoes, then look at getting FG style of footwear or soccer cleats.
- Cleats should have a firm fit, with less than a finger's width of space between the toes and the tip of the soccer shoes. Older and more serious players want the closest fitting shoes to their foot size for better control and touch on the ball.
- If you purchase a soccer shoe with quality kangaroo leather, remember that it will stretch after it is worn and will mold to the shape of the feet.
- Don't purchase larger soccer cleats thinking they will last for years for youth soccer players. The extra room in the tips of the shoes will probably cause blisters.
- Look to purchase your soccer shoes well in advance of the season. Give them time to be worked into the shape of your foot.
- Soccer specialty stores are usually well stocked before the season starts. Look at catalog and online retailers for specials before settling on the local sporting good store.
- Most catalog and online retailers carry the best quality soccer shoes available.
- Soccer cleats for both boys and girls are labeled as Youth size. Teenage girls should look at the female versions (Womens sized) before selecting a Men's sized shoe even though they carry the widest range of selections.
- If your purchasing for kids that only play in recreational leagues and might only participate in one tournament a year, then save your money and buy a synthetic upper soccer shoe. These cleats are usually less expensive and are perfect for young children.
- Take care of your soccer footwear. To keep the quality kangaroo leathered soccer shoes soft and long-lasting, stuff when not using to help them maintain their shape. Let shoes dry naturally and do not use artificial heat.
