Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro

As someone who has had the opportunity to try out the Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro Little/Big Kids' FG Low-Top Soccer Cleats, I can confidently say these are a game-changer for young athletes—even though the pair I received was just a touch off in size. What immediately stood out was the unbelievable lightness of the cleats. Wearing them feels almost like putting on a second skin—delivering pure speed and agility with every sprint, cut, and pivot. Despite their featherweight feel, the construction is impressively sturdy and solid, giving you confidence with every step. Key Highlights Feel & Comfort: The fit around the foot hugs snugly (even if slightly the wrong size in my case), and I could easily imagine how perfect the comfort would be in the right size. The extra padding around the ankle and the back of the heel elevates the comfort game, preventing any rubbing or blisters during those first break-in sessions. Easy On & Off: Sliding these cleats on is a breeze. The design makes it simple—even for energetic kids—without any struggle, making pre-game prep hassle-free. Design & Aesthetics: The color and overall fresh design are absolutely striking. There's a modern edge without being too flashy, making these cleats an instant standout on any field. Performance: The grip on firm ground is reliable and secure. Even during quick turns and sprints, traction was consistent, thanks to the well-engineered soleplate. Breathability & Freshness: Even in the summer heat, my feet felt cool and dry—Nike clearly put thought into ventilation and moisture management. Final Thoughts Honestly, the only thing I would change is the size. Every other element—from feel to looks, from protection to performance—is dialed in beautifully. For any young player (or parent looking for the perfect pair), I would wholeheartedly recommend the Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro cleats. They blend comfort, innovation, and style into a top-tier soccer experience. If you’re ready to level up on the soccer field, these are the boots to choose.

My 8-year-old daughter has been through three pairs of cleats in the past year and these are been her favorite. She normally wears a size 4 in sneakers, size 4.5Y in these clears fits her perfectly. The sleek design looks great, and the fabric along the laces, around the ankles and heel adds noticeable comfort. They were a little snug to get on at first, but once she got used to them, she really liked the stretch and secure fit around the ankle. The very first thing she said after her first time wearing them to practice was how comfortable they are—the extra cushion in the heel is definitely a standout feature. One note: the laces can be a bit tricky to tighten. Her only “complaint” is that she wishes I had gone with one of the brighter color options. Overall, a great mix of style, comfort, and performance for young soccer players.

My son loves these soccer cleats! Although they were a little difficult to put on at first (tight squeeze!), my son said they were very comfortable to run & play soccer in. I like that there isn't a separate tongue that can get pushed down when putting the cleats on. They seem to run true to size. My son said these are "very drippy" which means they're cool! Overall id recommend these cleats for any kid playing soccer!
