Those of us with wide feet know how difficult it is to find comfortable shoes. On many occasions we make the decision to go for a normal width shoe, and decide to size up and allow for more room throughout the midfoot. This is just a band-aid fix for a bigger issue, which only causes frustrations and future discomfort from simply wearing a shoe that doesn’t fit.
Key Tips
When sizing for football boots, always wear your game day socks, to truly allow for the extra thickness they contain. Start the measurement from the widest point of your foot, and stretch the device across the foot. This measurement will assist in selecting the right shoes for your feet. Size charts are available for each brand, so you can use that measurement to compare to their width options. Testing the boots in person is a great idea to check out if the shape of the silhouette is right for you. Football boots need to be sturdy and tight-fitting, but not uncomfortable and painful to wear. Finding that balance is key for optimising performance.
