Getting Kicked Is Not The Only Accident That Happens To Kids In Soccer. They Also Get Stepped On (Cleated)
Shin guards protect the lower leg. But the top of the foot — where kids get stepped on — is left exposed.
That’s why so many parents hear:
• “My foot hurts”
• “I got stepped on”
• “It’s bruised again”
• “I’m afraid I might get stepped on”
And there’s almost no protection for it.
Meet CleatSAFE Junior
CleatSAFE Junior is an instep protector that fits inside the cleat, covering the top of the foot — right where kids soccer players get hurt most often. The protection comes from an outer shell that absorbs impact, and a soft inner lining for comfort.
Think of it as a shin guard for the foot.
For laceless, slip-on cleats, simply position them on your feet, slide into your cleats and play
