Trust me Josh, I have wide feet. I tried on a pair of vapor 9's one time and my foot looked like a fat girl on prom night
That depends a lot on the specific shape of your foot as well as the width. Not every shoe is going to fit you perfectly.
Have you tried a New insole? That plays a huge difference, for me at least. This is because it keeps the foot higher and in a shape and not just floating around which makes it wider.
Max Bucht yes, but I cannot wear thin insoles. I take the insoles from my previous tiempo legends that have the poron inserts because I prefer a more cushioned insole. It's a more chunky insole so I know that plays into effect somewhat with the overall fit.
Juan Mendoza big up Juan
Juan Mendoza okay that doesn't mean anything. If you wear the x, nemeziz, magista, hypervenom, or tiempo. You dont have wide feet. All nike stud plate shapes are exactly the same, each one. The tiempo and vapor have the same shape and shape of the stud plate on the bottom. Only the material is different shaped. Their is a difference between a wide toe box, wide mid foot, flat feet, fat foot, skinny foot. Just cuz you have fat feet doesnt mean its wide. If you can wear vans, chucks, pf flyers, any nike running shoe you don't have wide feet. Running shoes are 1/2 sized big because no lateral movements, only one direction, and foot swelling factor that's it. If some shoes don't fit for soccer, ace line is best for adidas and tiempo for nike for the stretch in the mid foot
My feet are wider than they are long.
maybe he has baby feet
Adriankool4skool same
Maybe you should try turning your foot 90 degrees clockwise and then measure again
Daniel R.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OMG
wait what the fuck
i have wide feet and FLAT feet, i hate soccer boots as 95% of the time i feel super uncomfrotable
Ronny Avendano i feel you bro:((
Ronny Avendano Me Too!! The struggle 😪
Yesss you can't try the mercurial... Fell you broo
What boots do you use?
Me too i like playing soccer with barefoot
Every soccer retailer needs to have a person like josh working at all times
Too right. Most people at stores barely know what they are talking about, which is why people have so much trouble when buying the right football boot.
Yessssssss
Jeremy*
Most of them doesn’t even know the boots 💀
Is your foot wide when you can't even fit your foot into a vapor... I mean I can't even put my foot into the shoe
I had that problem with the x10 adidas lol. I gave up
I can't believe this guy only has 418k subs
I wish they made different widths for soccer shoes, especially the width of the sole plates. Having uppers that loosen to fit a wide foot is great , but it feels like teetering on a narrow middle, rather than a full base
Yesss
of course 5 days after sr4u says don't get the 90$ dynamic fit collar take down models 8 people at soccer practice show up in the 90$ take down models with the df collar.
ahahahhahahaha
Jack Stibor the kids who think there wearing superflys or hypervenom phantoms and know nothing about soccer cleats
Jack Stibor LMAO i noticed that yesterday
Did you ask them: " you scrubs don't watch Josh do you?"
Jack Stibor ikr
Josh, I’ve been watching you for like 4-5 years and whenever I need recommendations or help on anything soccer related I come right here. Just wanted to tell you that. Still don’t believe you have less than 500k you legit deserve like 5M.
I actually do have wide feet. And it sucks. Can't wear hardly anything synthetic. I can't even fit in a regular Legend 6. Had to go with Legacy due to it having the disconnected tongue on one side. Would love it try some of the new thin synthetics. Ugh.
T Gill try the evopowers
Yeah, Evopower is going to be my next try. I'm hoping. I love my leather boots, but would like at least one synthetic for the wet weather.
Victor Van thats not all true the magistas and tiempos are much more bulky and wide than all the 3 main adidas models (ace, x, nemiziz)
T Gill ace line has widest stud plate shape.
Go for adidas models.
It's so true! For example the vapor (the shallowest boot out there) gives me a bit of folding because my feet don't fill out the shoe. BUT the tiempo fits snug and my foot fills out the whole boot! So this video is actually relatable
Thank you for this! I worked for 10 years in soccer retail as a footwear manager and it was unbelievable the the amount of people who were convinced had wide feet. And then some people who actually had wide feet would want boots like Vapors and Superflys.
It would be amazing see one day what boots would actually sell if people got shoes that fit them!
Lastly, Josh you content has become better and better over time and the channel is great these days!
Oh and by the way. The Vapors are narrow-fitting.
I used to buy snug cleats because i was taught to by coaches. The sides would always blow out. Even on the leather cleats. At some point I realized that the pressure my foot was putting on the inside of the shoes was causing the blowouts. When I found New Balance 4E cleats (now discontinued), it was a sea change for me. I was able to drop a half to a full size because my foot had room in the toe box.The difference in comfort and performance was remarkable. My feet stopped hurting and blistering. I could run faster because there was less pain. So for me the advice to get a snug fit was completely wrong. The foot gage commonly used in stores can measure width, but it must be measured with your full weight on the foot, so your toes spread. Letting your toes spread naturally is key because it allows your foot to support you like it was meant to. Squeezing you toes together in a snug shoe gives you a unnaturally narrow foundation to stand on, and can reduce performance overall. Examine the feet of people who live barefoot, You will see a wide forefoot with all straight toes instead of the outer toes being curled toward the center. This is the price we pay for wearing shoes..
Still looking for a replacement for the New Balance 4E cleats. If anyone knows of some, please speak up.
Thanks for bringing back the 4k videos!
Josh, I took your advice and ordered the Obra 2s yesterday. Thank you for taking time to respond to my and all of our individual needs in comments. Blessed to have found you.
2200 vids. Keep up the good work!
The problem with me is that my foot is very flat and has no arch, so when I wear "narrower" boots, my foot forces the upper to stretch or squeeze out a little and folds occur near the last lace holes of the boots.
Joshua Kim yeah my feet are like that too, so most boots don't fit me well at all, it's so annoying.
Exact same for me, what boots do you use?
@@asim9810 slides
Get some arch support insoles trust me I had a lot of knee pain like super painful cause of my flat feet. I use easyfeet insoles the red ones super cheap and it works super good and I put them in normal shoes so I don’t have flat feet all the time.
Yes, there are some wide feet out there.
Just bought Legend 7 Club and it's very different from Mercurial Vapor and Hypervenom Phantom.
Same size but totally different feeling when I tried it .
Always insightful as usual. Nice one Josh
i do have wide-feet
Been watching your videos for a long time, keep up the good job mate, your work is amazing and it has helped me a ton!
I remember having to look for wide fitting shoes as a child, but only nike ever fitted me, could never get Adidas boots, so you're 100% right, it's all good shape, not wideness, that said, I absolutely love old tiempos
The advice in this video is perfect! Great video Josh keep up the good work bro 👍
I have decently wide feet and I wear vapor tens and they stretch a little but the do squeeze my feet a lot and they almost are too snug but I love the traction, touch, and weight of the shoe so I forget abt the tightness
Carson Mckay superfly .if you dont like collar cut it off
i played with the laser growing up, loved the roomy fit in the forefoot but now nothing feels like that. i use the premier now
Great vid man this really helped me a lot thanks josh 👍
Thank you for this I didn’t know and I’m looking for new cleats
How about specifying how to determine if you have wide feet ? I actually have some Tiempo 5s and the tongue bulges out so much that you can see my socks on the left and right of it. Granted they are probably a half size too small even though I sized up 1/2 a size when I bought them. Leather Predators never gave me an issue.
This video was so useful, thank you so much for this video. Now i know exactly what to do when buying soccer shoes.
Josh you are the best person to explain everything soccer wise this is why I love your channel
Great vid helped me pick my next cleats thanks.
omg i had to help my sister out with this yesterday since this is her first time playing and she just didn't understand and she was like these are so uncomfortable and my parents and i told her that they weren't supposed to be too comfortable because soccer cleats/boots are tight
Victor Van i told her that but she didnt care or listen
I can't believe you literally listened to her say "I am not comfortable in these boots"< and did't return them and get a new size.
Oh yeah yeah
when is the jersey collection vid
You have the best football-related channel Josh! I bought the Under Armour Clutchfit Force 3.0 because of you and you know what? It's worth every penny! Hands down one of the best releases of 2017.
Totally agree, im coming from Preds 18.1 fits like a glove, tried the new preds freak, HORRIBLE, like idk how they got the mold of the feet. HOWEVER I tried the X and loved how they felt, and I consider ive got wide feet. The only thing with the ghosted X is the blisters below the padding at the heel.
I got the hypervenom phantom 2 neymar jordan edition. I got wide feet and the first 3 weeks it did hurt but now they fit perfect.
I remember falling into depression because i thought my feet were too wide for non leather soccer boots. To my surprise though, i fit very comfortably into Vapor 10s in my size :D
Recommendation for the few people with slighter wider feet the puma evopower vigor 1 boots are beautiful actually feels like slippers, great lock down and feels like a running trainer. I personally have several pairs all different stud layouts.
Hey Josh, odd question that I think you may be able to help me out with. So I'm a size 11 US in most cleats/boots. Vapors and Hypervenoms I'm size 11. Magista Opus and Puma evoPower I'm size 11.5 (I'm talking no space in the toe-box, perfect fit, snug no dead space). But when I've tried the newer adidas models like the adidas Ace 17.1 leather or even a little older in the adidas X 15+ Primeknit and Messi 16.1, I've had to go down to a size 10.5.
Now could you tell me why that is? In older models (11pro, Predator LZ 2, Predator Instinct, adiPure 3) size 11 was perfect for me then. Again, I'm talking no dead-space, snug, my toes fully fitting the toe-box, etc. I don't have wide feet, my feet aren't narrow or skinny/long, the only difference that I can tell from others that I know is that my foot-shape is an Egyptian-type shape (big toe longest and toes following get shorter and shorter in comparison). I also have a gap in between my big toe and my index toe).
Again, do you know why the sizing has drastically changed in adidas sizes? I've heard that size 10.5 to 11.5 for adidas boots have always been funky as far as correct sizing goes. On top of that, I've compared sprint-frames in each of my boots that do have sprint-frame in the alleged same size (size 11) and some of the sprint-frames do not line-up with the others (Studs aren't symmetrical with the boots I'm comparing between, one sprint-frame too long in comparison to the other, one too short, you get the idea).
Sorry if this question was way too long or if you're just unable to answer, I know it's very complicated. I'd be interested in knowing if others have had this same issue with adidas models too.
I really don't think it has changed. I wear a size 9US in Mercurials and Hypervenoms and in pretty much every Adidas model.
Hmm, maybe I've just got oddly shaped feet then haha, I have no other explanation
Really good video - helped me out a lot
man, I've just listened more to you and you're so precise. Kudo's. Best footie boot expert around.
Hey Josh! I have been watched your videos for years know and I have started to play tennis recently (football is still my main sport though!). Would you say that because the quick movement required to play tennis is similar to that of playing football, all of your fitting advice could also be said about tennis shoes? Therefore, should I also buy a tennis shoe with a tight fit and no extra space, if that is my preferred fit for football boots too?
Great vid josh
Really great help, like for proper advice and reasearch :)
After years of wearing different types of synthetic shoes, i can say with having no arch,wide ass feet, get leather and break it in,will always help.
I appreciate this information. 👏🏿👍🏿
Hello Josh, I think you might answer my question since I couldnt find a reliable answer on the net. 3 of my smaller toes are kinda pressed and touch to the front of the cleats. Shall I consider it as a small size for me and will it create a pain if I play with these cleats? Fyi, there is like quarter or half thumb space for 2 bigger toes
I do have wide feet but people do underestimate breaking into the shoe. In the beginning they can be really uncomfortable but eventually the shoe will shape you
Thank you for your videos !
Kelme used to be my wide foot go to for me... but I rarely see kelme anymore... I miss the sharks and the moleon ... wooo those were nice. I just go half a size up now. Diadora for me is good too.
I have wide feet... i used to wear ctr maestri iii and predator lz 2. Those fit me perfectly. Nowadays i use magista obra II, Lotto Zhero Gravity and Nike Premiere 2.0
During workup wearing my hypervenoms hurt so bad but during the game I don't feel pain.
I always wanted to wear a pair of Nike Mercurial Superfly V, but recently in the soccer shop, I realized that I had high ankles and a wide feet. So the person there didn't suggest me the Mercurial, so I got the Adidas Copa 17.3. It was very comfortable.
I try loads of size 9.5's on, which is my original shoe size, and They feel too tight on the little toes, mostly on my bigger foot. I go up to 10's and they are comfortable but usually there more room at the end and it's quite loose, resulting in the boots coming loose during the game. What do you recommend? I have some size 10 tiempo's, which apparently run half a size smaller, and they are comfy apart from it being a little tight around my little toes on my bigger foot. The 9.5's were ridiculously tight around my little toes and hurt for the whole of training. Should I try to wear in my tiempo academy's in the hope that they will stretch or, should I get another pair that are wider in the toe box? I tried copa's and they were a good fit although I wanted some artificial ground boots. The Phantom's are nice although the I have the same problem. The size 9.5's feel tight around the little toes on my bigger foot and the size 10's feel too loose. Same with the Puma future 18.3's. I was thinking of trying the Puma Future 2.2's in the 9.5's as they are my original size but I don't know. Please help! I have having a nightmare and am very confused as to what I should buy. It seems I can't decide on what fit boot I should get, no matter how many I try on. Could you help, please?
Good video helped me alot
My evospeed 1.4s took me quite a while to get used to the narrow toebox fit but thx for the advice josh
I have a high instep, it is very hard to find even NORMAL BOOTS.
Hey Josh are you going to get the ocean storm pack and review it?
I have a a few of the boots from that pack on the way.
Great video! Keep it up!! What would you suggest for someone who has been clinically diagnosed to have a flat foot?
You should be OK with most shoes. Something like a Mercurial with a slimmer fit through the mid-foot, might feel uncomfortable for you, but that will vary from person to person.
I’ve been playing soccer since the 80’s. I’ve never had trouble with any model of any brand until the past couple of years…now I can’t put on any of the cleats I’ve bought from any brand. Just can’t get them on. I’ve watched several of your videos. Any more help to widen/stretch the opening of these new models of cleats/boots?
My 13 year old daughter has bunions on both feet. They won't correct them until she has stopped growing. She LOVES soccer but cleats do not fit bunions very well. I will look into leather shoes for her, but do you have any other suggestions? I know you can lace running shoes according to your foot type, are there any tricks like that? Just looking for any help in the constant quest for comfortable cleats for her. Thanks!
Props here. I don't have wide feet but usually wear Merrell's and Keens for regular. I picked up some Puma EvoVigors and, while they're SUPER snug, I think they might adapt to my foot. All this said, the industry needs to stop acting like everyone is a rail, JMHO.
I can't seem to get my toe to the end of a boot without my little toes feel crunched up and uncomfortable. Would the puma future 2.2s best for getting my toes to the end of the boot?
I've been fitted for high arch / wide for standard new balance shoes from the navy.... I cant figure out which cleat I should buy. Where can I get fitted for cleats?
if you have wide feet, go for Mizuno or New Balance. as far as I know only these two companies make wide football boots. never size up in order to get wider width as there will be too much slack at the front which will affect your gait.
I know this is a late comment but in trainers I am size 5 and I got size 6 in superfly 5s and it didn’t feel right would it fit better if I used it for a couple of days to expand it or put it back and get another pair?
I have the x 16.2s and it feels like they are narrow from the middle but there's so much empty space in the toebox
I was just about to ask josh that I have narrow feet what boots do you recommend lol 😅😅
Great video!!
More people need to watch this Seriously
I know that I have a wide foot because when I went to get new cleats, I put my foot on the size chart thing and it said I was a 4W
I calculated I have wide feet 11cm (I think they're even flat) but I don't want to buy leather shoes. Magista is what fits me the best. I tried hypervenom. I thought they would have been comfortable but they're not. At the same price point even Mercurial fitted me better. I would have never guess so.
Hey Josh! Can you make a video about foot toes shapes. Reason why: I noticed you have the "greek" type of foot, and as most boots shapes are "pointy" you seem to fit "true to size" perfectly. On my side I have "egyptian" type with a big big toe (bigtoe big, yes), and I always need to go 1/2 more to true-to-size for football boots whereas I'm always true-to-size for sneakers (Adidas, Nike, etc). I tried, Copa 19.1, Phantom Vision, Nemezis 19.1, Predator 18.1, same thing everywhere. That's seem to be because football boots are "pointy" and narrow. That's a problem because my feet are rather narrow, and in +1/2 to true to size I may slide on side of shoes more easily. So if this issue could be adressed because more people have "egyptian" feet than other shapes.
Its REALLY hard for me to find new cleats because GIANT feet run in my family... I personally have a really thin heel but a HUGE mid-foot and its the BIGGEST PAIN TO FIND GOOD FITTING CLEATS...(I have wide feet josh...I have wide feet...I feel like youre saying something like we are all the same foot when it comes to cleats but wide and thin feet are real and I feel like absolutely nobody's gonna read this but my point remains bro).
I believe you.
I got not quite wide feet but my big toe is mest up like instead of right toe pointing left it points right and and sticks out which is why I use wide shoes
Spongebob Squarepants do you have bunions? I’m a physiotherapist and my thesis is about hallux valgus
I bought a superfly 5 in my size, and I can't wear them. The midfoot is too narrow as the nike soleplate puts a lot of pressure on the outside of my foot. So they're unwearable. So I bought Obra 2s in my size again. And the same issue, just less. My foot is too wide for the Nike soleplate as it puts a lot of pressure on my foot since it sinks in. So I can't wear my Nike cleats.
all boots are a sized to the "D" width last unless a "wide version is made. If you have had your feet measured and have wide feet then the last which is used to accommodate your feet starts from "2E".
josh is completely right in saying leather boots will have more give than synthetic boots. a "d'' last boot leather will still feel tighter than a "2E'" last boot after moulding to your feet.
the mizuno morelia is a "D" width last and the asics ds light X-fly are a "E'" last. the asics are more comfy for my feet when playing.
yea no. often times i'm stuck with bloodflow being cut off to my feet or i have tons of extra space beyond my toes that make my touch sloppy. i do actually have wide feet lol
I used to think I had wide feet. Until I tried on some superflys and vapors. They fit well and not as bad as I expected. I did not buy these thought because I just don't like right or thin upper cleats
This is my first time ever being the first couple of people to see your vid lmao
I have flat and slightly wide feet and the most comfortable boot for me is the Nike Magista Obra
I bough magista ondas and they have a little room and it’s a bit tight should I return them
Copa Mundial easy. I tried it on and I thought this shoe was made for me. Plus the leather allows you to do what you need
this guy speaks a lot of truth. I always thought I had really wide feet so bought shoes accordingly. Then I went to get my foot actually measured and it turns out my feet are pretty normal width! It was just my not liking tight shoes.
diulikadikaday Same here. I actually thought I have wide feet. I was very sceptical on what boots to buy. I bought a pair of Hypervenom Phelon 3s going by Josh's recommendation and they fit pretty well. After watching this video I actually measured by feet and realised my feet are actually particularly narrow and based on that I'm actually gonna buy a pair of Vapors.
I also realized socks can make your feet look a little narrower because it kinda blocks the loose skin from spreading when you put all you weight on your feet, making them look rather wide.
my mother says i have wide feet i need new boots every 2 months and once got mercurial superfly 6 it was so tight and i got so many blisters
i do like tight fitting cleats...problem with those is that 99% of the times, even those i can manage to squeeze my feet into, won't fully close at the top, (can still see my socks...a lot lol)
It's not even that all cleats I've ever tried feel uncomfortable, it's that I split the sides of them very quickly AND I've always had to play with 1 1/2 to 2 inches of empty space at the point of the boot. Great for defense, horrible for the power of my shot.
Josh do you still agree that thin feet are existent? As I went to the Nike store and only the hypervenom line left way too much room in the tie box and wasn't tight at all. Are there any tight synthetic boots you'd recommend that isn't the, vapor, superfly, purechaos, nemesis?
You can definitely have narrow feet, but again, most people who feel like the boots they try on are too wide are wearing the wrong size. With proper sizing, most boots will fit most people.
I know its not synth but superfly
Soccer Reviews For You True, however in my case I tried on the phantom in varying sizes and all on them were too wide even when they were the correct length
I agree that everbody has a different footshape, which has nothing to do with wide and narrow feet. I personally never had issues fitting in my boots in the midfoot and verklärtes. With that being said, I often have issues with the toebox area. That's because my big toe is not the biggest toe of my foot. Sometimes the boots hurt me that much that I get black nails and sometimes there is too much space left. Because of that, I am a big fan of football boots that just feature leather on the forefoot (Mizuno Basara, Leather f50s...).They give me just that little bit of custom fit in the toebox area while still feeling nice and secure
That's exactly the point of this video. You've tried different shoes, analyzed your feet, what you like and what you dislike and now know exactly what style of shoe works for you the best.
I typically wear a vapor 11 and have a pretty low profile foot while the length and width is perfect. So the one piece upper doesn't crinkle up I just stacked sock liners on top of each other. I was wondering if there was a special soccer sock lined insert I could use for my low profile foot to avoid having me stack them because they can feel a bit off sometimes
I don't think you would want to stack or put anything on top of your foot. That would complicate things when it comes to feel and touch, especially in such a thin shoe.
this was really helpful thnx
Please do a video on best shoes for narrow feet.
I feel like the same advice in this video applies to narrow feet as well. Most of the time when the boots are too wide, it's an issue with the size being too big rather than the feet being too narrow for the boots.
Hey josh I've owned the mercurial vapor 9 and they fit very well my question is do you think the vapor 11 will also fit well , since I've heard you say that if you wore mercurials before and liked the fit you will like the vapor 11
You'll likely be OK.
Got a pair of Viigor 1's (Known for wideness).Try on.Wear for a few hours.Length is perfect.The balls of my feet were folded in on themselves.
I have wide feet. I cant Get my foot in a boot most of the time, When i finally Get my foot in the boot its way to long. I use copa mundials
What would you suggest as the best boots , I play with a black and yellow team and the new Nike colour way goes well . I have a price range of €200. P.S your vids lately are so so so so so helpful
It all depends on what type of fit and feel that you're looking for.
So, I am flat footed, and actually developed bunions on both feet from tight fitting shoes, any advice? Also love all your vids man!!
I actually talk about flat feet in the video as well.
My right foot is much wider than my left foot what would you recommend thanks man love your channel very informative
You have to fit the bigger foot.
I can fit in mostly any boot but the toe box NEVER fits
I recently got my foot measured. Right fit size 9 wide. Left is 8.5 regular. My cleats tend to me slightly longer in the toe box specifically the last 3 toes have a lot of room while the mid foot is always tight. Should I start buying 8.5 wide cleats to fit for the extra space and to ensure snug fit even though my left foot might be roomy because it is a regular?
You have to accommodate the bigger foot. It wouldn't be a great idea to jam your bigger foot in a boot that is too small, it just wouldn't be comfortable and could potentially cause injury. That's not to say that you couldn't get away with it if you found boots that fit you just right. The only way to really find out would be to got to a store and try on as many different cleats as you can, in different sizes, to see what fits and feels the best.
