If your little one is keen on a pair of football boots, you're in for a treat with numerous enticing deals and offers available this summer. From well-known brands like Nike and Adidas to lesser-known treasures, there's something to suit every taste.
Choosing the ideal pair of boots for your child can be tricky, considering factors like growth spurts, changing trends and playing surfaces. While style matters, it's crucial that the boots you purchase are comfortable and provide adequate protection against injuries.
Although many professional players nowadays opt for laceless designs, laced boots remain a dependable option offering solid support and a snug fit. With a plethora of choices out there, we've selected some of the top kids' football boots available this summer.
The Adidas Predator League with a fold-over tongue is one of the most sought-after pairs of kids' football boots at Sports Direct this summer, boasting 133 five-star reviews. The rubber 'Strikescale fins' on the instep, iconic fold-over tongue and a flexible 'Hybridfeel' upper are designed to enhance control and improve ball-striking.
The boot is 100 per cent synthetic across the upper parts, lining and sole. Slashed from a RRP of £59.99 to just £50, there's a choice of five snazzy colourways for your little one: White/Black/Lemon, Black/Grey, White/Pink, Red/White, and White/Black/Gold.
Recent reviews on Sports Direct are raving about the Adidas Predator League boots, with all of the last three giving it a top-notch five-star rating. A chuffed parent, known as 'Mcil', gushed: "Cool pair of football boots. Got these for my son for his birthday, and he loves them! They look great and are a perfect fit."

Just in time for a summer of sport, Skechers has slashed the price of 'the best' kids football boots from £45 down to £31 with sizes that will fit all youngsters With the children off school they'll no doubt be looking to spend plenty of time outdoors and running around this summer. If your little ones are signed up to participate in some football (or maybe even some hockey) you'll need some studded football boots to prevent slipping and sliding whilst running around. Although a new pair of boots can sometimes be expensive to pick up, we've found a great deal that'll save you some money this summer. The Skechers SKX football boots are currently on sale down from £45 to £30.99, saving you almost £15 in the process.

The exact sizing is from children's 9 up to a 12.5, with half sizes available all the way up because Skechers know how tricky it can be to get the right fit for growing kids. They are designed to be worn on firm ground with cleats for natural grass surfaces, making sure they always have plenty of grip. To prevent rubbing or aching they have a soft upper, with a responsive TPU plate and Skechers' signature Move Foam cushioning for added padding. As well as comfort, the Skechers SKX football boots have also been designed to improve their game, with explosive track inspired traction for maximum acceleration. The upper molding of the boots has also been carefully designed to help with precise ball control, and have a lightweight design that keeps them comfortable and easy to run around in. You can pick them up in four different colourways that'll work for all occasions (and team colours), with bright shades like neon yellow and cobalt blue, plus more subtle colourways like black and white with gold details. You can also head over to Sports Direct, where there's the same pairs of boots, as well as a pair designed for playing on other surfaces which are also on sale for £31. Nike has also slashed the price of its Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy by a huge 40%, taking the price from £59.99 to £35.99. Perfect for slightly older kids, they come in sizes 13.5 to adults 5.5, with a choice of four different bold colours.

Cycling Rich List 2025: Here are the 10 highest paid cyclists in the world
It's one of the most gruelling sports there is, but if you manage to become one of the world's top cyclists then you'll not be worried about paying the monthly gas bill. While the prize money on offer doesn't match the likes of tennis or golf , Tadej Pogačar still earnt €500,000 for winning the Tour de France last year. Unlike many sports, these competitors earn the majority of their cash from being paid a salary by their racing team - a figure they can then bolster with money-spinning advertising and sponsorship deals, personal appearances and shrewd investments . Here are the top 10 highest paid cyclists in the world in 2025. 1 . Tadej Pogacar - €8 million The red hot favourite for the Tour de France, Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar, is the best paid cyclist in the world - with an salary of around €8 million. He's already won three - in 2020, 2021 and 2024. He's got plenty more years of big bucks ahead too - he's under contract with the filthy rich UAE Team Emirates until 2030. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . Remco Evenepoel - €5 million Belgian Remco Evenepoel has won a saddlebag-load of trophies, including two UCI world championships, an Olympic gold medal and a European championship. His victory in the 2022 Vuelta a Espana was the first Grand Tour win for a Belgian since 1978. Soudal-QuickStep are thought to pay him around €5 million a year. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales 3 . Primoz Roglic - €4.5 million Slovenian cyclist Primoz Roglic has won five Grand Tours since turning professional at the relatively late age of 23 - a record tying four Vuelta a Espanas in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2024, and the 2023 Giro d'Italia. Signing up to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgroe gave him a big pay rise, to about €4.5 million. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales 4 . Jonas Vingegaard - €4 million Danish racer Jonas Hansen won the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Tour de France and is the only person who stands a chance of beating Tadej Pogacar in this year's race. UCI WorldTeam Visma–Lease a Bike stump up around €4 million a year to keep him on their team. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales
