And to round out the equipment, your child needs adequate footwear for practice and to play. However, at a young age, a shoe made for soccer, football or other sport activity will probably do well. If the outsole is too flat or too smooth, your child will be slipping or sliding over the playing field. Cost is another consideration, if not the first and most important. And it's not always the best to buy the least expensive shoe.
Quality is also an issue here.
As you've often heard, you get what you pay for. Regardless of the price, brand or cosmetics of the shoe, make sure you have proper fit for the sake of your child's safety. Have a salesperson in the store measure your child's foot to accurately determine the size. The shoe should lace up snugly around the top of the foot. As for the lengths, it is highly recommended to purchase shoes that fit your child now.
