Cleats Size

[Anonymous]

If you are a half size, do you tend to order up or down?

My DD is a 9.5. Trying to decide if a 7.5 Men’s is too small. It’s a women’s 9. We tend to order online due to a bigger selection.

depends on brand, go to a store and try them on (different brands may fit differently). buy them there or order online

For Nike, when converting to women's its generally best practice to order only a size down.

example: 7.5 in women's is 6.5 men's in Nike. size 9 in women's would be a size 8 in men's in Nike.

Online they usually offer half sizes as well. Soccer.com has a pretty easy return/exchange process and free shipping on cleats as well.

Nike and adidas fit differently
Adidas tend to be smaller than Nike

Players have preferences and it can depend on how you prefer your boot - like a glove withbteam socks start at ankle or looser with thick team sock on foot all the way

Too tight is blisters and so is too loose

Thats going to be too small. Even regular shoes are only about 1.5 sizes different between men and women... not 2.

I actually find that Nike fits smaller than Adidas

I sold shoes many years and men’s shoes are 1 1/2 sizes longer and 1 size wider.

That is a general rule. You may find an exception, however I don’t recall seeing any.

Honestly I think cleats are really wonky. I'd buy a bunch of sizes and return what doesn't work.

DS wears a half size smaller in his Nike boots than he wears in street shoes. I hate doing it but if we’re not sure we order multiple sizes on a credit card and return the wrong size right away.
