Wide Soccer Cleats

If you have big feet, finding cleats that are comfortable and fit you well can be really tough. That’s why I’ve created this resource to help you find the cleats that are right for you! I have wide feet, so I’ve been through this process. I’ve managed to figure out what the best brands and styles are for people with big feet through trial and error – and here are my choices!

Wide Cleats!

I’ve found Kelme cleats to be fantasic wide soccer cleats. They are wide around the middle of the foot without making the other parts out of proportion. With Kelme cleats, I would get the same size shoe that you normally wear. You’ll be amazed at the results! Out of the Kelme line, I would specifically recommend the Moleon TRX and the Aire TRX (see below).

Kelme cleats may not look wide in those pictures, but trust me, when you put them on, they’ll feel amazing.

The Nike Total 90 line is also very good for people with wide feet. I love these cleats. They offer great power and accuracy while still being very comfortable for people with large feet. Watch out, though, because the other Nike lines of cleats are not wide AT ALL! I’m talking about the Mercurial line specifically – they tend to run very narrow. But the Total 90s are fantastic. I highly recommend them. There are three cleats on the T90 line: Lasers, Strikes, and Shoots. The Shoots are the cheapest, but I don’t recommend them. They aren’t very durable at all, and they’ll likely fall apart on you quickly after you get them. I highly recommend the T90 Lasers and T90 Strikes (see below). They are fantastic wide soccer cleats for people with large feet!

Kelme cleats and the Nike T90 line are my favorites for people with wide feet, but if you’re set against buying either of those, you have one more option. Buying cleats made from kangaroo leather is a very good choice for people with large feet. Kangaroo leather molds to your foot very well and creates a very comfortable fit. If you buy cleats with kangaroo leather, they will likely be uncomfortable for the first couple weeks, but then they’ll feel great. Some of my favorite k-leather cleats include T90 Lasers (mentioned above), Lotto Stadio Primatos, and Puma v1.10s and v1.08s (see below). All of these cleats do a great job molding to your foot and end up being very comfortable.

I hope I’ve done a good job covering wide soccer shoes here, but if you have any more questions, please contact me! I’m happy to answer all questions. You can click any of those links in the article to go and buy the cleats mentioned!

    I have found that the right fit for a soccer cleat is very important especially the width of the shoe since I’ve discovered I have abnormally wide feet :P

    The best resource I have found is in the comments on the Nike site, not only for the comments themselves but also for the scales where users rate the size, comfort, width, and durability. Like you mention in the post – most comments on the Nike site say the Nike T90 laser runs wide.

    I ended up purchasing these shoes and am waiting for their delivery. The final sell was the price of the T90’s which are more affordable than the mercurial vapors :)

    Thank you for this information! Its always been a struggle finding cleats with my wide feet, I never would have thought that Nikes or Pumas might fit. The last pair i purchased Diadora LX-K fit nicely. I find that Diadora tends to run a bit wider than most other brands.

    Thanks for the comment, Brian! And thanks for letting me know about the comments on the Nike site – that’s really useful.

    Thank you too, Moe! Also good to know that Diadora runs wide.

    After reviewing several models, i can tell that the Nike Total90 III line are wider than the rest of the nike cleats. The mercurial line is narrow.

    Also the Diadora LX line is a wide cleat.

    From adidas the widest cleats i have used so far are the F30 line, which are the cheap model of the F50 tunit.
    The predator line is not recommended. These cleats are very narrow.

    First of all, great article. Second, I too have wide feet.

    And lastly, I have recently purchased a pair of Mercurial Veloci boots.

    The toe area fits a bit narrow right now, do you think when it breaks in it will fit or should I be concerned about having to look for Kelme or Puma brands shoes?

    I’m glad our findings line up! That’s interesting that the F30 line is wide, but the F50s are not. And thanks for pointing that out about the Predator line, I agree with that!

    Ano -

    I would stick with the Veloci’s for now if it’s just the toe area that’s narrow. That should begin to fit better as you wear them. Try to wear them for some light workouts or around the house to break them in before you try to wear them for a game.

    Thank you both for the comments!

    Thank you the great review.
    Please let me know, is CTR360 line wide or not?
    I’m from Viet Nam. Which is the best site i can purchase?
    Thank you!

  8. Andy July 28, 2010 at 3:21 pm #

    Hi Anh!

    The CTR360 line is in the middle – it’s not exactly wide, but it’s not narrow either. I would recommend one of the cleats in the article above from soccer.com – you can just follow the links in our article.

    Thanks for the comment!

  9. Anh July 31, 2010 at 11:11 am #

    Thanks Andy!
    I have one more question. With dimensions are 26cm and 11cm, and i like to purchase one CTR360 cleat(which is suitable for my playing style), what size should i chose?
    Thank you!

  10. Andy July 31, 2010 at 11:16 am #

    Hi Anh -

    I would probably go for a size 10.5 CTR360 with those measurements. That should fit you nicely.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Hi again Andy, sorry to take your time again with this, but after wearing the Mercurials for a month now I have decided to go look for a new Soccer boot that actually works for me and doesn’t hurt my feet every second I wear them. My brother has already started wearing the Mercurials as he has narrower feet and he’s fine with it.

    So, here are my choices for wide shoes:

    Puma, hard to find some models here but if I search for it good enough I might find the models you mentioned and get them succesfully.

    Kelme, not available AT ALL here but I’ve seen everyone say they’re great for wide feet and that’s what’s bugging me. So, no Kelmes (unfortunately).

    And here’s the last one, Lotto shoes.
    I have found a K-Leather upper Soccer shoe, called Vento KL FG in a local store and it’s on sale. Do you think these shoes will mold to my feet if I get the correct size?

    Once again, thank you for the help!

    Hi Ano -

    Don’t worry about taking up my time – I’m here to help! Sorry to hear it about the Mercurials, but they definitely do run narrow. I’m glad they’ve gone to your brother and not to waste though.

    Out of what you listed, I would go for the Lotto Vento. They are excellent cleats. I mentioned the Lotto Stadio Primatos in the article, and the Ventos have a similar structure. (Plus, it’s on sale!)

    Thanks for the comment!

    Hi Andy!
    Thanks for the advice, but i used to wear 8US – 8.5US (26cm – 26,5cm).
    I wonder the size 10.5 you mention is for kids ??
    Thanks for helping us!

  14. Andy August 13, 2010 at 9:27 pm #

    Sorry Anh, I’m not familiar with non-US measurements so I just found a chart online and based my recommendation off of that. Apparently it wasn’t right! In that case, I would go for the 8.5. They should fit you very well.

    Sorry!

  15. Anh August 23, 2010 at 8:33 am #

    It’s okey! I have found the best solution for my case. I purchased two pair, US 8 and US 8.5. I’ll sell the unfit one. There’re always many people ready to buy because in my country, to have official Nike products is really difficult and more expensive than they really are (shipping, tax…)
    Thx for sharing!

  16. Andy August 23, 2010 at 9:19 am #

    That’s an excellent idea! I’m glad you were able to find what you were looking for.

    Andy
