For a proper fit, your football boots should be snug, but not too tight. This will allow for movement, without allowing the foot to slide inside the boot. There should be about a thumb’s width of space between the toes and the front of the boot to avoid cramming the toes when running or kicking. Consider the width of your foot and select a style that can accommodate narrow or large feet. Always try on boots with football socks and lace them up fully to assess the fit accurately.
