If the pitch is short, firm and more carpet than grass, this is the part of the Bootroom you want.
Kids' turf football boots use low-profile rubber lugs across the outsole instead of the longer studs found on grass boots. They are built for short-pile astro, cages and harder artificial surfaces where a traditional studded soleplate is unnecessary.
Nike and adidas usually mark these models as TF, while PUMA also uses TT. Different letters, same part of the football boot market.
Turf Boots or AG Boots for Kids?
Turf and artificial grass boots are not quite the same thing.
Turf football boots sit lower to the ground with lots of small rubber lugs. They make most sense on older-style astro, short synthetic pitches and the firm surfaces commonly used for cages and small-sided football.
Dedicated AG football boots use a more conventional stud layout designed around longer artificial grass pitches such as 3G. If that is where most of their football takes place, our Kids' Artificial Grass Football Boots collection is the better place to start.
That distinction is worth getting right before worrying about the colourway.
Nike, adidas and PUMA Kids' Turf Boots
The current junior turf range goes well beyond basic training shoes.
Nike Mercurial Vapor and Superfly are available with TF outsoles alongside Phantom 6 High and Low, Tiempo Maestro and Tiempo Legend. adidas covers F50, F50 Hyperfast, Predator and Copa Pure, while PUMA Future adds another option to the collection.
There are plenty of player editions in turf versions too. Mbappé Mercurials, Messi F50s, Haaland Phantoms and Vini Jr Mercurials mean young players do not have to give up the boot they wanted just because most of their football happens on astro.
The range covers both smaller kids' sizes and junior models across Club, Academy, League and selected higher specifications. Rather than repeating the full kids' boot buying guide here, start with the surface, find their size, then narrow it down to the silo or player edition they have probably already been talking about.
