How To
How to choose the correct size and fit of your football cleats
Fitting football cleats correctly is crucial for comfort and performance. For a cleat to be the right size, it should allow about a quarter-inch between your longest finger and the end. They should fit snugly in the middle of the foot with little or no movement around the heel. The upper portion of the cleats must be snug to ensure a secure feeling, but still flexible enough to accommodate natural foot movements. For a perfect fit, try on cleats and socks that will be worn in matches.
