7 year old wearing football boots every day

DS2, 7, is football obsessed and insists on wearing full football kit and astro-turf football shoes (with the little studs not the massive one for use on grass) every day including to school (his school doesn't have a uniform). I'm sure these shoes cannot be good for his feet as they don't have much padding but he refuses to wear anything else. Does anyone know if there is any evidence showing that these type of shoes are not recommended for every day use?

As far as I know there isn't an issue, but I wouldn't think the school would be too impressed.

I'd either tell him that if they wear out he won't get more then can't play football, or introduce him to the idea of what footballers wear for "practice fitness sessions" ie trainers.
