Ready to give football-shoe shopping a shot? Before your child tries on boots, consider these factors.
__Playing style:__ think about your child's [football position](https://www.nike.com/si/a/soccer-positions) (Tiempo for defenders, Phantom for midfielders, and Mercurial or Phantom for strikers), and whether they prioritise speed (Mercurial), precision (Phantom), or ball touch and comfort (Tiempo).
__Playing surface:__ determine which surface they play on most frequently. Here's a rundown of the different types of surfaces with the features that cater to them.
- __Firm ground (FG):__ designed for outdoor natural grass fields, featuring conical studs for stability and grip
- __Turf (TF):__ made for artificial grass or turf fields, with shorter rubber studs that provide traction to help maintain balance (without damaging the surface)
- __Indoor courts (IC):__ flat, rubber soles designed for grip on indoor surfaces
- __Multi-ground (MG):__ versatile boots with stud patterns suitable for mixed surfaces, ideal for players who play on various pitches
Each boot in the Nike Jr line-up comes in different versions for these different surfaces.
__Experience:__ beginners benefit from softer uppers and cushioning, while more experienced players often prefer responsive plates in the soles to help boost speed and ball control.
## Which Nike Jr Boots Are Best for Beginners?
Nike's Jr Tiempo line is the most beginner-friendly. Its FlyTouch synthetic leather upper is soft, moulds to the foot and requires no break-in time. This shoe is also versatile, with traction suitable for multiple surfaces. Nike's Jr Phantom is an alternative for players intent on more grip on the ball.
## Kids' Football Boots Sizing Guide
Fit should come first when it comes to enhancing enjoyment and play and reducing the risk of injury. Before heading to the store, have your child wear the socks they use for football. Then, seek out football boots that fit snugly yet [do not pinch.](https://www.nike.com/si/a/how-should-football-boots-fit) Make sure there's about a thumb's width of space between the big toe and the boot's tip and that the heel doesn't slip.
