Football boots help needed

[Tiredofbeingsotired]

I need some help - please!

DS's secondary school are opening their 3G football pitch in the next few weeks and he needs football boots that are safe for that surface.

He is a rugby player so we have rugby boots and these are not ok to use. His feet are growing like grass and I can't afford expensive, branded boots that will need replacing by Christmas but can't work out what I'm looking for either. School just said 3G and no blades and Google has given me 3 different answers. I'm looking on Vinted but just need some suggestions of what to look for as 3G football boots isn't working.

Thanks in advance!

Hiya. He needs standard plastic stud football boots. There’s loads on Vinted for pretty cheap.

Decathlon cheapest were about £15 for my ds (though he is still in kids sizes). And they had a good poster explaining which boots are ok for which surface.

Yep. Plastic, sometimes called moulded, studs. We buy ours from Sports Direct. We can usually pick up a pair for £15-20. But now he's in the men's sizes they're getting more expensive.

Search on Vinted for football boots moulded studs should get you what you need

Have a look at Re:Play Football as they sell refurbished second-hand football boots at a cheap price.

Yeh secondhand is the way I think. I have sold barely used pairs of Nike boots on Vinted and eBay. They are only worn for either practice or matches on the 3G (or both if neither are on grass) and are outgrown quickly. What size is he?
