SHOE FIT
We pride ourselves on making sure that every player leaves our store with a proper fit. A soccer shoe is not made to fit like an every day casual shoe and we will not sell you a shoe just to make a sale like some stores will. Each individual has a unique shape to their foot and we will find the shoe that is right for you. A poorly fit shoe can result in blisters, sole detachment and all around discomfort as well as perform poorly. The shoe is the most important piece of equipment for the soccer player and it should be treated as such.
TIPS FOR FITTING A SHOE:
1. A soccer shoe will stretch more than other shoes and this must be kept in mind when purchasing a shoe. If you leave the store without the shoe feeling fairly tight, chances are it is too big and when it stretches you may have problems with blisters
2. Pay attention to the width of the foot. Some brands are wider than others. Talk to the salesperson and find out which shoes are narrow and which are wide. Keep in mind that all soccer shoes will be more narrow than a running cross training shoe because they are designed for a different purpose.
3. Ask about the quality of the leather. The three most common kinds are synthetic, cow hide or kangaroo leather and each can vary in condition. Kangaroo tends to be the softest and easiest to break in but also stretches the most so you need to keep that in mind when fitting a shoe of that type. Synthetic tends to be more durable but doesn't stretch as much and may not be as forgiving.
4. Male or Female: Not all shoes are equal. Girl's should not be afraid to ask about the availability of women's specific shoes. It may be a better fit than shoes that in many cases are designed with a man's foot in mind.
5. Test the feel of shoe to ball before you leave the store. A shoe may feel great but if it doesn't perform well then it is not money well spent. Your touch on the ball should feel strong and true, almost as if you are making contact with a bare foot.
6. Most importantly... Let us help, we'll make sure you leave with a shoe that fits properly.
