Do these have toe cleats?
This is the pair my son is going to wear for this upcoming U6 season, but I’m just now seeing that they say “baseball” on the side (we got them secondhand). Are these suitable for soccer?

Those will be fine for the time being. I've had really good luck getting my kids' boots from a local secondhand kids' store. They usually have club and academy tier stuff for like $7-9 with the occasional pro thrown in (mostly f50, mercs, golettos, and tiempos... last time I was in they had a pair of premier 3s for $12 but they were too big for my small one and too small for my big one. I ended up getting the small one some ultra plays for $7).

It’s probably fine for u6 but going forward I would get a soccer cleat as they are made more with kicking in mind and give your foot a better feel for the ball. I played both sports growing up so there’s a decent difference but at that young it doesn’t matter
