Childrenās Football Shoes
ASICS kids football boots are built for training and match play across a full season. The range includes touch and precision builds for players who want more feel on the ball, and support and stability builds for a firmer, more secure fit through the foot. Sizing spans junior through to teen, covering players moving from their first boots up to an adult-equivalent build.
Kids' feet change size and shape quickly, and football boots need to accommodate that without compromising fit during play. ASICS childrenās range of football shoes are built to support developing feet through impact and lateral movement, without adding unnecessary weight. The LETHAL⢠kids collection spans multiple styles within the kids' range. Some use stud patterns adapted from senior ASICS models, while others use multi-stud configurations, including staircase-shaped studs in the heel to help improve stability at the point of heel contact.
All ASICS kids football boots are recommended by Sports Medicine Australia, with HG10mm⢠technology built into every boot to help reduce load on the lower limbs during a match, supporting growing joints and feet through impact and repeated movement.
FAQs
What size football boots does my child need?
Kids football boots typically run true to standard shoe sizing. Fit them with the socks worn to training, leaving a thumb's width of space at the toe for growth, without so much room that the foot moves inside the boot during play. For a more precise fit, ASICS stores offer a Foot-ID assessment to help identify the right size and width before buying.
Can kids wear football boots for rugby?
Yes. ASICS junior football boots use moulded stud configurations, and moulded stud boots are accepted for rugby league across all codes. For rugby union, competition rules vary, and some grades require metal screw-in studs, which sit outside the standard moulded junior range, so it's worth checking your child's competition rules before matchday.
What's the difference between football boots and regular sports shoes for kids?
Football boots use studs or blades on the outsole for grip on grass, while regular sports shoes use flat rubber soles built for court or track surfaces. ASICS football boots also feature HG10mm⢠technology, a raised heel that helps reduce stress on the lower limbs, a benefit that most sports shoes aren't built to offer on-field.
