Width Matters: Choosing the Right Football Boots for Your Feet

[@tony5359]

My ex girlfriend also started our last conversation with, "Width Matters". I didn't know until now she meant football boots.

[@upper90football_]

Yoooooooo 😂

[@chrish.5700]

It’s the girth not the width that made her your ex

[@nathounathan1027]

Ooooooooo😂😂 sorry but I don't think she meant football boots in that case 😅😅

[@abhayangaria4766]

Did not have much options for wide feet before this video. Thank you soldier.

[@amaurytoloza1511]

I have had the NB 442s and Mizunos MIJ, and hands down, the NB 442s are by far the most accommodating, they are just extremely good for wide feet people. It took me some time to get used to the Mizunos. the quality is better sure, the leather is super soft but it does take some time to break in and the soleplate is a bit narrow. Surprisingly, the neo 4 are very accommodating as well despite being a bit narrow, they do adapt to the foot a bit quicker than the morelia II in my experience. I do have very wide feet.

[@jasminaguilar7682]

Thank you for making this video!! There is not enough wide boot videos out there 😢

[@sonder0001]

Right? I even got newbalance extra wide boots and they still hurt my feet more than adidas copas

[@machaazahisagama3575]

A lot of people have different views some said narrow some said wide

[@athomeforpeace]

Definitely narrow compared to the Tiempo 9.

[@upper90football_]

I wouldn’t say they’re really wide compared to the whole market, but they are wide compared to the rest of Nike’s lineup.

[@johnble1082]

Not at all! Tiempo 10 is much more narrow than a mercurial!

[@thisguy7175]

I think it’s the synthetic leather; it’s not as soft and flexible and that’s why it feels more narrow…not a fan

[@Ceilingfan008]

Thanks I'm going to try the NB 442s after trying the NB laceless Tekela which were digging into the back of my heel.

[@matii5061]

Nice video, you explained it in a very good way but sory - Puma Future, Nike Tiempo and Adidas Predator AREN'T wide. If you feel comfortable in one of these models, it means you don't have wide feet. There is only one wide football boot on the market - NB 442 W. From my experience I can also recommend you Joma Topflex which is made of leather, quite wide and stretches nicely. It's sad for me that Adidas, Nike and Puma can't make wide shoes.

[@damisu8]

I have very wide feet. Tested about 15 pairs this year. Ended up buying Puma Kings in a half size up. Only boots I could find that came close to being wide enough, and weren’t a ridiculous colour

[@McBigP13]

New balance probably the only brand that has wide options. And with puma and adidas, they are both made by two brothers which pretty much going to be the same types of shoes. Have found both brand have generally wider shoes.

[@bemopremo]

I actually found the copa pure 2+ to be really accommodating for my wide foot

[@upper90football_]

They’re great boots, I think the soleplate just tapered a bit too much for me

[@TheGamingLander]

Ive just bought the Adidas crazyfast 4.0 (I know not the best boot but I don’t have the money for good boots) and I’ve got wide feet and I love them

[@BanhChui1968swe]

Will forever miss Pumas evopower line. the ones that released in 2015 were my favourite ones. Great for wide feet and comfortable as well. Got two pairs and dont want to break them

[@georgethemonkeydrummer5598]

I hope these brands not only take flat/wide feet into consideration going forward (more so then they have already done) but also expanding the toe box. I’ve seen injuries from narrow toe boxes caused by many cleats especially Nike which are just unacceptable when paying that much money for some boots. Not only would it relieve that part of the foot but research shows that expanded toes for feet allow for a better performance not just in football but in virtually all sports and aspects of life. Instead we have these squished toes on most modern day athletes which really limits their mobility’s (and especially balance)

[@alvinzhao8481]

Yes 100% agree, the toebox shapes in football boots are on the whole absurd and can be badly damaging to feet. The new balance 442 pro wide works really well for me because there is no stitching around the rim of the toe box, so the foot can push out a bit and shape with the kangaroo leather. And in general it has a wide rounder toebox

[@alvinzhao8481]

i'm a size 10.5 us 5e wide foot, the best for wide feet by far is new balance 442 2e wide pro fg. I tried Mizuno Monarcide Super Wide KL (supposedly 4e) and it still isn't close to the comfort of the newbalance 442. This is my view having tried pretty much every model, adidas predator (good toebox, midfoot too tight), gloro, copa mundial (if anyone recommends copa mundial for wide feet call them out for their bullshit- one of the worst for wide feet!), puma 5.1/6.1, nike tiempo, premier, diadora brasil. Someone below mentioned Mizuno monarcida sw kl, and these almost worked for me, but the toebox is lower/smaller, and the stitch pattern too restricting for very wide feet. Eventually they caused bad toe bruising so I had to find something else, and since I found new balance 442 2e, I never have foot problems/damage which has been a huge satisfaction and relief. I will buy this model for as long as they are made.

[@sr_ryoadm]

The old Messi F50 fit to well in my feet, but is no more available. The mercurials 2013 models too... I miss then, now no one model fit in my feets so good

[@wlchow919]

I always prefer the Adidas Copa Mundials for their classic look. Wish they make their insoles removable so I can put mine in, for my mild bunions not getting worse, and the longevity of the boots

[@hugosanchez3279]

It's crazy that the previous version Kings and the KL Ones (rip) were the best fitting boots for me and now I can't even get my feet into Pumas. Don't even have wide feet marked at D width. Been on gloros since returning to the sport, definitely a plus that they aren't super pricy as I have to buy at MSRP now 😅

[@EarlSquirrelsonn]

I’m wearing: Superfly 9 Elite FG in size 10 Vapor 15 Elite SG in size 10.5 I got the FG true to size first then ordered the SG version a while later in the same size. The SG ones fit much smaller and the stud pressure(on the floor at home) was really noticeably in the wrong places on my foot. Exchanged them for a half size up and the 10.5 SG fit perfectly like the 10 in FG. Think this could be an interesting point in a future video if anyone else has similar experiences…

[@upper90football_]

Very interesting, I don’t often play with SG boots. I’ll try to pick up a pair soon.

[@efendijusdi9314]

Adidas Adizero F50 advancement pack are absolutely right choice for wider feet

[@theharleyma]

Tekela and Furon both have narrow toe box. almost all the youtubers and testers recommend half a size up. the midfoot is perfect but the toe box is actually more narrow than adidas preds and crazyfast. Mizunos tbh are the most wide for all their models including the alpha elites. I've tested them all and that's my experience.

[@tn7328]

Nobody mentions the high arch in the Mizuno's. Whilst the upper is comfortable the high arch makes it very painful for those with flat feet. New balance have their sizing all messed up. The 2024 Tekela v4+ has a slimmer and lower toebox and even going 2 sizes up compared to the 2023 tekela's my toes were having the life squeezed out of them. I'd say Adidas have the best fit overall for wide feet. Shame they don't have a proper AG plate

[@upper90football_]

Interesting, I haven’t tried the V4+ but the original V4 has a nice wide toe box.

hello, thanks for the review - I got mega wide feet. No adidas predators can fit me (even after i went 2 sizes up) Nike mercurials as well, don't fit me. Nike Tempo are too wide but were the most comfy. Actually the Puma Ultra fit me the best. Yes they are slightly snug to begin with on the upper, you break into that after the 1st game and they work perfectly for me - currently on my 3rd pair in 4 years. Durability isn't great as the glue holding the boot to the sole is not great and have to reglue.

Also would you think if I got a wide version having normal width in the midfoot is a bad idea(for blisters)

Technically, Mizuno and Asics also offer wide feet version of their boots, but only for the takedown model like Monarcida Neo and DS Light Club. Mizuno also offers SW (superwide) version but thats very rare. Could only be found in Japan so far.

[@bigmanlucas]

What would you recommend in terms of a football boot, for someone who has a leg brace. I have Cerebral palsy and I need a football boot that would fit a very wide foot. Something that is very wide not only in the toe box but also in the midfoot to heel

The wide variations of new balance boots are a great place to start. The 442 V2 Pro (Wide) is one of the widest boots I’ve tried on. You may also want to check out the company Natur Athletics.

All you'll find is people wearing fg boots on grass fields, AG and even turfs, no one gives a fuck 😂 and one is judged if they do. The brands don't even correctly name their products online, that's the level of neglect ( on official sites ). India doesn't even have that many natural grass grounds as there are AG turfs yet no brand provides an AG soul plate as a normal option, only customised.
