Everyone remembers their favorite pair of cleats. From the first moment that they are laced to that first big goal, tackle, or pass, every player has a favorite story from their pair of boots. The key is finding the right pair that match one’s style and game.
To help parents and players make the right choice for their feet, SoccerWire will be going through some of the top cleats of 2024 by each brand. In this edition we will be focusing on Diadora. Proudly built and made in Italy, Diadora is considered to be one of the top cleats in soccer and a favorite for top players across the world.
Cattura: The Cattura’s are one of the top youth soccer cleats because they provide younger players with a high level of comfort and they are effective on multiple surfaces. They are light in weight and easy to lace up and adjust while playing, which as any parent knows can be a struggle with younger players. They also have a fixed 14 stud structure with a polyurethane outsole and are water resistant, making them playable on compact and synthetic surfaces as well as wet conditions.
