Buying new soccer cleats this Black Friday? Here are my top 7 gift ideas they will love

One of our favourite cleats from the last year, these Adidas Predator Elite will have commanding the midfield in no time. I love the attention to detail, with the classic fold-over tongue maintaining the iconic heritage of the series. Ideal for playmakers and comfortably one of the best soccer cleats for midfielders, but can also be worn by anyone on the field - regardless of position.

These cleats made our best soccer cleats guide for 2024 - and it's not hard to see why. Nike shifted away from kangaroo leather to Flytouch Plus, a material made specifically to recreate the fit and feel of the natural stuff. For me, it's actually improved what was an already legendary design.

When Skechers first entered the soccer market I, like most others, was sceptical over whether they could compete with the biggest brands. How wrong I was. They have produced one of the best speed cleats on the market, that are comfortable for all players - even those (like me) with wide feet. We rate the Skechers Razors as strong options in the best lightweight soccer cleats.

A perfect blend of classic design and modern performance. To it from me, this cleat appeals to players who appreciate both comfort and tradition. Already one of the best soccer cleats under $100, Adidas have made an even greater reduction for Black Friday sales. In terms of value for money, this is my personal pick of the bunch.

As a player reliant on speed but capable of a heavy touch every once in a while - Puma's Ultra Ultimate cleats are easily one of my favourites. They are competitors in the best soccer cleats for speed, and lightweight enough to feel like you have raw pace, without comprising on sharp touches with the ball. In my personal opinion - the orange version gets extra style points.

The Crazyfast+ are perfect for direct strikers looking to cause defenders nightmares with speed and agility. I believe this cleat has one of the best, most responsive soleplates on the market, giving them a dynamic feel. The minimalist nature of them allowed me to focus purely scoring. These cleats are comfortable, light and simply perfect for forwards.

Offering a true one-to-one sensation with soccer cleat and ball, the New Balance Tekela V4+ Pro Low is simply a playmakers dream. I again appreciated how they suit those with wide feet, thanks to the extremely soft hypoknit material technology. Deservedly in our best soccer cleats for midfielders guide, one of New Balance's strongest designs to date is now available for under $200 thanks this Black Friday.
