It is good to be rich.

I will be interested to see if you get any good suggestions.
It's possible that bottom and top are splitting because the foot is moving around too much and stretching the seams. Get properly sized shoes. Shoes should also be properly tied and not worn loosely or untied.
Umm . . . maybe. The same thing happens with two different kids, but maybe every single pair of cleats we buy is the wrong size.
It doesn’t happen to us. I buy fairly cheap ones.

Mine is underweight, so that is not the issue.

Even $200 Nike cleats will peel at the toe. This has been an issue for years and years.
Just contact the manufacture. Been returning them for 6 years with great success.
I think Nike and Adidas design targets are for the twice a week rec player. If you are a serious travel player practicing close to daily and playing weekly, cleats are only going to last 4 - 5 months at best. My college player son is practicing about 2 hours a day and plays games twice a week - cleats last about 3 mos max.

Nike will replace cleats that have this issue. Contact them. You will have to send the pair back and they will send you a new pair. You will need a back up pair while this happens.

Dealt with local sporting goods place and got refund for first time. They suggested fitting. We did that and bought different cleat. Has happened again. This was with Adidas and Under Armour. We don't spend a ton on cleats because of this issue. Have been told the cheaper cleats actually are supposed to last longer. The expensive ones wear out faster.
Anybody else have this issue and suggestions?
Thanks.
it's the opposite, higher end cleats are meant to last longer and typically come with a warranty from the manufacturer. Local store also takes them back and works directly from manufacturer. Would recommend you stop shopping from local sporting goods store and work with a local soccer specific supplier. sporting goods store usually lack the knowledge on soccer equipment.
