[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old/big is your kid?

If older, you should also think about getting cleats made of leather, not plastic so they breath and mold to the feet.[/quote]

He's 13 so still growing so it's hard to buy expensive cleats when he grows out them pretty quickly and I do buy two pair so he can rotate which cleats he wears.  But righht now he's wearing those Adidas X 19.2s. I really have no idea what they are made of or whether they are considered good cleats or not.  I just buy what I can basically afford and he likes.  Thanks.[/quote]

You can get reasonably priced leather cleats. https://www.soccer.com/shop/details/nike-tiempo-legend-vii-pro-fg-soccer-cleat-racer-blue-black-metallic-silver_A1017968

You can try more padded socks as well, but better cleats are probably in order if he gets blisters easily.

Nike's tend to run narrow and he needs as wide as possible so we try to stick with adidas.  We'll look at leather Copas next time for sure.  Thanks[/quote]

Unfortunately for 13 and above shoes lower than .1 or pro (Nike) are not going to be good for the foot. Lower quality materials throughout and inferior sole plate. His foot is likely moving around the shoe too much causing the blisters. Socks is not issue. Better off buying good quality pair than 2 pairs of cheaper ones. As some mentioned earlier maybe try a correct size or half size bigger leather that will have some give/stretch as his foot increases. [/quote]

What level of copas would you say are good quality? 20.1s?[/quote]

Yes the 20.1 would be the better one unless you want more expensive and laceless 20+. I prefer laces. As the other poster mentioned the copa mundial are excellent but some kids may not like the traditional look. Mizunos are way too expensive although the best leather shoe and in my opinion probably the best shoe period.  The puma king platinum is another excellent shoe. The mundial may be cheaper than the 20.1. [/quote]
