the thing is cr prob has a size around 9 but the vapor 4 run a half size long and had the most roomy and widest fit of all vapors thats why his custom model is smaller than the default one. you def need some boot knowledge to explain stuff like
so here’s the thing- i’ve always bought mine a half size smaller, because i personally feel like with a tighter fit, i can feel “closer” to the ball, which i really do notice the difference, especially when i wear laceless boots nowadays, its really a preference in my opinion... but 2 sizes down is too much
i thought you guys r some boot nerds. you should actually be able to tell the reasoning why his custom vapor 4 is way smaller the the default 9 ;) the vapor 4 run a half size long and had the most roomy fit of all vapors
I think he chooses to get custom made boots because I remember him saying in an interview, he didn't get new shoes every year or season, so he's probably just used to playing in smaller and tighter boots.
I played competitive most of my life. I wore 2 sizes smaller on my boots then in my regular shoes. After games my feet would be sore. But I always felt I had better control. I could feel the ball better that way. It’s not that rare...
Do you want to have a relationship with someone who loves you beyond any other love. Someone who sacrificed himself for you and everyone on this Earth the one who created the heavens and the Earth be creator of everything do you want to be saved Do you want eternal life with peace and joy forever your answer is Jesus if you do not know who Jesus is read the following Jesus is the Son of God that came to this Earth to save the people of their sins. when God-created Earth sin same came into Earth and tempted Eve(The first woman) to eat the fruit that God had forbidden her and Adam to not eat.

That is why Jesus came to Earth to save humans of their sins. Which leads to a relationship with God(the main reason) and eternal life. He did that by dieing on the cross. 3 days later he resurrected. The story of Jesus is beautiful. If you do not already have a Bible, purchase one. If you do not have the money, pray to God about you wanting a Bible and if he could please provide one for you. Thus does not mean a Bible will come from the sky and land on your hands.

A big thing is it’s tight on the toes for you but remember he has the chance to customize his cleats . He maybe made the toe area wider or added a bit of padding and make the heel thinner who knows but they are able to do there little tricks until they find the perfect fit

As a rock climber!! I can totally understand Ronaldo’s thinking. Having a tighter pair of shoes makes the feel and sensitivity of your foot that much better. But we are missing the elephant in the room and that is Ronaldo’s boots are custom made to fit his foot. He might have a smaller heel and maybe the shoe covers a smaller portion of his heel so the whopping size differences might make more plausible sense. And if your making millions playing at the top of your game then, a little squashed in the toes is trivial.
The vapor 4 - 7 (superfly 1 - 3) from back in the day were quite a wide fitting boot in comparison to vapor 3's and vapor 8 which came after it, so going down a size or two I guess isn't too crazy at the time (depending on foot shape and width of your foot)
Chances are, Ronaldo's boots are made to fit the exact shape of his feet (every contour) with no extra spacing in them at the end of the toes, which would probably be closer to that of a 7.5. In addition, professional clubs have the boot stretching equipment to maintain the shape after they have been molded around his feet.
I did this for a season with hypervenoms 2 , the thing is it’s more about how you like it and how your mental is . Also it doesn’t have to be 2 sizes too small. Basketball players very often go half a size down for game shoes
I actually about two three years ago put my friends football shoes that were two size smaller then mine because I didn't have my football shoes and when I shot the ball it was way more power full and I did some crazy shots! It helped a lot with my shorts but hurt my toe so I didn't continue with it
My sister actually told me that if you wear a smaller size boots you could really feel the ball better.. and that’s what i do. When i was still growing i would get new boots every year, because they would get too tight for me. But now i don’t get new ones that often, because it’s really better but not that comfortable.
You could see him try so much harder in the agility part whilst wearing the size nines and with the passing when he was wearing the 7.5s he wasnt even looking at the mannequine
Ronaldos boots are personalised,what means that they fit his foot perfectly (form,comfort etc.) what also means that he might not feel that pain you feel by wearing boots what are too small.This “pain” also stops you from being as good as you could possibly be (speed,shooting)
Massive advocate 4 the one size smaller playing boot. A couple of points though... 1. Choosing a model with a broader & less pointy toe section is key. 2. Quality leather is crucial. Avoid synthetic, go 4 Kangaroo or Cow hide instead. This will allow the boot to mould to your feet like a glove. I find that none of the popular brands like Nike, Adidas or Puma ever meet my criteria. I opt 4 smaller European quality brands from Italy & Spain instead. Kelme & Joma are great!!
Who thinks that keiran looks a lot like Scotty P (they've done a collab). The way keiran plays almost seems he could fit right into pro footballer. Keep the good vids up. You have managed great vids through out isolation!
vapor 4 or vapor 4 sl had the most roomy and widest fit of all mercurials period. im pretty sure thats the reason why cr picked a way smaller size specific for that model.
Honestly I've been doing a similar thing for most of the time, mostly because my shoe size with football boots always seemed to loose, so I've been keeping it around 1 - 2 sizes smaller depending on the brand (Nike are super loose for me while Adidas seem more tight)
I did this once for a match it makes you feel so much quicker with the ball and you have so much more control, IT also gives you a ticket of a shot but really uncomfortable.
I’ve played with boots that are a size smaller, at first it’s rather painful however the boots do stretch into the proper shape of your boot, vs your actually size stretching bigger, so over one size smaller is a lot better... sure your feet will hurt the first few times but it gets better. Also maybe not 1,5 size smaller, maybe just 1 size, makes a huge difference especially after breaking them in
it's not up to the number or the shoes, but it's also up to the man if he is able to move like Ronaldo, the most important thing is the comfort of the shoes and your ability with the ball, he could have bought shoes from the Chinese if they weren't original. As for popular players, they order in their own way how comfortable their shoes will be and they can never be the same. Cristiano is my favorite player Congratulations on the effort and discipline for this recorded video, greetings from Serbia💪🏻🇷🇸
You want to buy boots as tight as comfortably possible, so there is little movement inside and you have good control and touch of the ball. I buy them so my toes are right up against the edge of the toe box, but not squeezing them. I also buy leather boots so the toe box stretches a bit.
Ronaldo has them custom-made, so they're probably a bit wider at the end and a bit longer (compared to other 7.5s) so that they don't hurt his toes as much but still are tighter on the sole of the foot.

Keiran just bought two Mercurial Vapours for experiment, which I have dreamt my whole life to wear once in a match...
The old Teijin synthetic would stretch and mold to your feet. I’m not sure if he does this with the newer materials. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I always got my soccer boots .5 to 1.5 size smaller than my regular shoes depending on how much the upper material will stretch. Regular shoes are meant to have space in front of the toes. Soccer boots shouldn’t have any extra space.
Gretsky did the same thing. Smaller footprint, so to speak - great control. But also it made him very aware of his footwork, being painful all the time!
The doctors'are full of it - because each of us are different. I spent 20 years (6 professionally and 5 collegiately) wearing boots two sizes smaller. I should also add that this advice was widely given in the old days. The bones are compressed in the shoe creating a more solid club for striking the ball. Not only that, but the foot does not move in the boot (as mentioned) and I only ever used the front of the sole for walking and running - never, ever the heel. I have never had any problems with my feet and I haven't laced up a pair of boots in probably four years (which are happen to be a pair of Ronaldo Mercurial). There is no discomfort in my feet in the 22 years since I've hung my boots. I also played every day throughout my 30s - no problems. Another thing I noticed about wearing boots that are much smaller is that the boots last longer. For example, each boot that I wore this way I used nearly every day and they all lasted for years. I have a pair of custom made Pumas that I received from my days in Germany that were made in 1999 of kevlar, lucite and carbon fibre and those boots are as new today as when I first took receipt of them. I think it may also be related to the lack of foot movement inside the boot reducing the torsional strain. Of course, it could also be coincidence. But over the years I used different manufacturers' products and they mostly stood the test of time beyond hundreds and thousands of kms.
It's also possible that his foot width is disproportional to the length. I always thought I wore size 11 shoes, but it just turns out I wear size 8.5-9 length but extra wide.
You can achieve a snug fit with double socks. What it does is it makes the boot fuller and gets rid of any ridges your foot has so your touch is padded also when you shoot it’s padded and gives the contact area a flatter surface than your foots bones.. the cleats now and days are too thin so your touch isn’t as padded like the cleats from the past generations.. try it out
I’ve been doing this since I was old enough to understand my own body in football. What I would do personally is I would warm up for a little while with out shoes on. To allow the muscles in my feet to get some blood flow and movement before squeezing them into my tight fighting boots. As this would avoid fatigue in my feet and allow for better performance from a physiological stand point. Also at times, dependent on the model, I would wear a half a size bigger on my right foot as it is much wider than my left foot. Playing with very tight cleats is really a whole different world. Regarding the touch you need to be more aware of the feeling and it requires some adjusting because there is less cushion with a tighter clear this is what you were experiencing. Also you were basically more engaged and warmed up to control the ball because of the previous session with the size 9. All and all players choice but tighter fitting clear in my opinion has a greater benefit this is how I have my son playing.
My soccer coach in high school made us all buy cleats (at least recommended) that they were a size or up to a size and a half smaller. I think it's always been a "trick" but not very secret and the results are really based on preference.
Bruh...ffs..i do the same thing I never knew cr7 do the same Holy shit bruh If you have a smaller wearable football boot u can shoot harder and u can have better control on the ball.
I think that there’s a big difference between being a pro athlete at the highest level and being an amateur athlete just having fun. First of all Ronaldo’s boots may have the tightness of a 7.5 with the length of a 9 or at least close to it, or have something to make them more comfortable on the toes since they’re custom made. Additionally I think that the little bit of advantage you may gain from a smaller shoe size is much more important if you are playing at the highest pro level than for those playing games with friends or even in a semi competitive league. At the end of the day however it comes down to what you like most and feel most comfortable in.
Ronaldo probably has them custom made so they’re a bit longer, for the toes, but the tightness of the 7.5’s.

Maybe Ronaldo couldn’t afford bigger shoes so he got used to playing in smaller ones
2:10 we can barely hear you with the music. Do you do the editing on your own?
My dad when my boots fit me to big he’s like get them 1 size under your size
SKAN Crack3d cool story mate
Mine make me get size 10 although I'm 9
The doctors'are full of it - because each of us are different. I spent 20 years (6 professionally and 5 collegiately) wearing boots two sizes smaller. I should also add that this advice was widely given in the old days. The bones are compressed in the shoe creating a more solid club for striking the ball. Not only that, but the foot does not move in the boot (as mentioned) and I only ever used the front of the sole for walking and running - never, ever the heel. I have never had any problems with my feet and I haven't laced up a pair of boots in probably four years (which are happen to be a pair of Ronaldo Mercurial). There is no discomfort in my feet in the 22 years since I've hung my boots. I also played every day throughout my 30s - no problems.
Another thing I noticed about wearing boots that are much smaller is that the boots last longer. For example, each boot that I wore this way I used nearly every day and they all lasted for years. I have a pair of custom made Pumas that I received from my days in Germany that were made in 1999 of kevlar, lucite and carbon fibre and those boots are as new today as when I first took receipt of them. I think it may also be related to the lack of foot movement inside the boot reducing the torsional strain. Of course, it could also be coincidence. But over the years I used different manufacturers' products and they mostly stood the test of time beyond hundreds and thousands of kms.
I was never aware of this. Thanks for sharing. I'll try this out!
You make your voice so soft and the music SO loud
It's also possible that his foot width is disproportional to the length. I always thought I wore size 11 shoes, but it just turns out I wear size 8.5-9 length but extra wide.
Can I get the size 9 shoes, since you already own so many ?
You can achieve a snug fit with double socks. What it does is it makes the boot fuller and gets rid of any ridges your foot has so your touch is padded also when you shoot it’s padded and gives the contact area a flatter surface than your foots bones.. the cleats now and days are too thin so your touch isn’t as padded like the cleats from the past generations.. try it out

Zlatan has some big feet
and ronaldo has little ones
Looollll😂😂😂😂 I'm ded
Legend
haha
In europe the size 11 is size 47
I’ve been doing this since I was old enough to understand my own body in football. What I would do personally is I would warm up for a little while with out shoes on. To allow the muscles in my feet to get some blood flow and movement before squeezing them into my tight fighting boots. As this would avoid fatigue in my feet and allow for better performance from a physiological stand point. Also at times, dependent on the model, I would wear a half a size bigger on my right foot as it is much wider than my left foot. Playing with very tight cleats is really a whole different world. Regarding the touch you need to be more aware of the feeling and it requires some adjusting because there is less cushion with a tighter clear this is what you were experiencing. Also you were basically more engaged and warmed up to control the ball because of the previous session with the size 9. All and all players choice but tighter fitting clear in my opinion has a greater benefit this is how I have my son playing.
Ronaldo: *wears 7.5's*
Me: looking at my old one size too small football boots...
they'll do
They'll fit better without the insole as well, a lot of players take them out.
This was always a rumor when I went to soccer camps as a youth. Earnie Stewart was always an example of someone who wore 2 sizes smaller than normal.
I've tried this...and now my toes just feels like cheetos
😂😂😂😂
My soccer coach in high school made us all buy cleats (at least recommended) that they were a size or up to a size and a half smaller. I think it's always been a "trick" but not very secret and the results are really based on preference.
This ain’t a secret, real players know this already.
Can you try playing football with the puma active gaming shoe
So we just aren’t gonna talk about how zlatans shoe size is showed as 47
EU sizes. 47 is still big but not that abnormal for his height.
I wear 48s
I'm 6'2" btw
maybe try playing in the boot over the space of a few months to break in and then compare? results might be different
His boots are custom so his toes are okay when he plays....
I would always wear half to a full size smaller. Helped a lot on free kicks, cutting, and touch. No sore feet but custom insoles.
It is mostly preference mate.... Just wear what u prefer, Ronaldo has his own preference
You could take this concept and tweak it a bit by going down half a size instead of 1 and a half sizes
Can I have the size 7.5s😂
Also it’s all about comfort, personally I like a tight football boot
Now we no why he is always crying after the game lol
LMAO
Wow
Know*
Still earning more than you can make in your lifetime mate

He probably removes the sockliner as well which whould make a size and a half smaller fit better and just tighter in the upper.
We now own the same football boot 😂
0:35 why does ibrahimovic use 47 shoe size?
7:41 shooting
kieran wasnt really trying on the touch when he waswearing the7.5 but when he uses the size 9 his form is way different
Bruh...ffs..i do the same thing I never knew cr7 do the same
Holy shit bruh
If you have a smaller wearable football boot u can shoot harder and u can have better control on the ball.
Ya but it hurts like a bitch
I think that there’s a big difference between being a pro athlete at the highest level and being an amateur athlete just having fun. First of all Ronaldo’s boots may have the tightness of a 7.5 with the length of a 9 or at least close to it, or have something to make them more comfortable on the toes since they’re custom made. Additionally I think that the little bit of advantage you may gain from a smaller shoe size is much more important if you are playing at the highest pro level than for those playing games with friends or even in a semi competitive league. At the end of the day however it comes down to what you like most and feel most comfortable in.
Bro size and a half down is weeeeeeeeeeeak.
I go childrens 13c for my football boot and 8's for my sneakers
If they're put in the steamer it also softens and breaks em quicker so it's not as stiff as off the shelf. Try playing a game in each of em!
no wonder why ronaldo looks constipated when he runs
do your toes not curl up when squeezing into a size that much smaller?
