What's crazy to me is how there are so many different options for FG cleats--when most kids don't even play games on grass-- and so few for AG. Nikes don't fit his feet (too narrow). Once you hit the upper mens sizes, the selection is really low. What's up with that!?

There's a decent amount of Ag's in adult sizes, they're just the top level like "elite" etc. This is online of course; i tend to bounce between soccer.com and prodirect.

PP needs size 13. Those are hard to come by. I don't they manufacture as many.

Kid needs to switch to basketball. Soccer's not meant for size 13 boats.

I forgot to mention buying directly from the manufacturer as well.

Just spend an ABSURD amount of money on Adidas F50 AGs because apparently Pumas are "lame" and size 13 anything is impossible to find. Does New Balance sell AGs?

Allowed by you or the club to play in AG? I get the Adidas only if the club has a partnership but do they actually promote the AG or is that you? If the club, good for them. Do other clubs promote the use of the appropriate shoes for the different surfaces? It could get costly with multiple cleats but at least with only a pair of AGs you can use them on any surface safely.

Which ones?

MLSN DS only alloud to play in Adidas AG boots.... Plays on Turf and Grass.

You can buy AG specific directly from nike, adidas, and other brands that make AG specific cleats. Soccer.com does carry most of them but you have to filter for AG.

tldr: If your kids play on artificial grass, find some AG-only cleats.

AG/FG cleats don't cut it, as the very thing that makes cleats good for FG (i.e., natural grass) make them poor choices for AG.

It's tough to find true AG boots for kids; you may have to import them from Europe. Puma makes a nice MG boot (multi-ground) which is a good choice for artificial grass. I buy mine from Unisport.

When you have high ground clearance SUV's trying to maneuver at speeds like sports cars, the tires and road surface are just a part of the problem.

Players who don't do sports performance training focusing on mechanics, balance, agility, single leg stability, injury prevention etc are at the high end of the injury risk chart.
Especially on turf.

Use what works, but also they generally keep the boot the same and change up the soles, so you should be able to find the same fit with different cleat/sole/bottom.
