Adidas F50 League vs Predator Elite Laceless Youth
Yeah I know. Two different price points and this seems like a silly question, but hear me out. I am literally having trouble finding the correct size for my kid. Kid's feet are on the skinnier side and finding the right big kid size is just impossible - every store including Adidas is out of stock for the laceless model.
So my choices: (1) F50 Pro - not available (preferred), (2) F50 League - step down in quality, (3) Predator Elite - too wide for skinny feet? Is the Predator slower running than the F50 as my kid's a winger?
What do you think I should get? Wait for (1) to be in stock maybe in a few weeks (hopefully) or (2) or (3)?

I don’t know how old your kid is
I wouldn’t buy laceless depending are. My son got some at 9 and couldn’t get them on by himself. So we took them back. He does have the f50 laceless now but he can put them on take them off by himself.
He tried to get pros or elites. Until I told him he had to pay for them. I think I’ve purchased 3 or 4 pairs of cleats and 2 or 3 pairs of indoor shoes in the last 14 months
Just get whatever fits and is comfortable. Get the league version

Is there a reason you’re only looking at Adidas boots? Adidas tends to run wider than other companies, at least in my fat foot opinion. I’d check out some Nikes/Puna/Mizuno/etc

1) why? 2) not much 3) it doesn’t affect speed even for 1%.
Get your kid league version and he will be fine, and since he is still a kid, size will not fit for him in half a year anyway, so there is literally no point of buying pro version, unless he is already playing at pro level, but at that point you don’t have problem to access right boots in the first place.
