#1. adidas
adidas Copa Mundial
A timeless classic from 1979, the Copa Mundial is a boot that truly needs no introduction. Crafted from premium soft leather, with centered lacing and the signature folded tongue, the Copa Mundial is a serious contender for players with wide feet.
The saying “Old is better” couldn’t be more accurate when it comes to the Mundial.
It delivers an old-school style fit, with plenty of width towards the middle and forefoot, ensuring superior comfort for wide-footed players. The leather material offers another bonus—it stretches over time, molding to the foot, providing a level of comfort that modern materials can’t quite match.
Worn by football legends like Diego Maradona, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and even Gary Lineker, the Copa Mundial has secured its place in football history—and on the feet of those who value comfort, durability, and timeless style.
adidas Predator
Since the Predator debuted 30 years ago, it has revolutionized the football boot market.
With its never-before-seen rubber striping designed for increased power, control, and swerve, the Predator was created with wide-footed players in mind. Its wide midfoot and adaptive fit technology ensure comfort without compromising performance.
The current Predator model, worn by players like Paul Pogba and Jude Bellingham, features PRIMEKNIT technology for a sock-like fit, with fused yarn wrapping around the foot for cushioned support.
The anatomically designed heel locks the foot in place, while the two-piece sock construction allows for easy entry and exit.
Wide-footed players should consider going a size up in this boot. While the midfoot is broad, the toe box is slightly narrower than previous models, so adjusting the size will ensure a better fit and more space where it matters.
#2. Puma
Puma Future Ultra Ultimate
Speed boots aren’t usually designed for wide feet, but the Puma Ultra Ultimate is a rare exception.
Weighing just 160g, this boot combines speed and comfort with its FUZIONFIT360 technology and reactive Kevlar and Carbon yarns, which form around the foot for a snug yet accommodating fit.
The Ultra Ultimate stands out in the speed boot category by offering wide-footed players the flexibility they need without sacrificing performance.
The boot’s lightweight construction, combined with its Engineered Pebax SpeedUnit outsoles, provides rapid acceleration on the pitch—perfect for wide-footed players who still want to feel light on their feet.
Players like Cody Gakpo and Gylfi Sigurdsson trust the Ultra Ultimate for its exceptional balance of speed and comfort, making it a standout option in this category.
#3. Mizuno
Mizuno Morelia MIJ Neo IV
Built with the wider Japanese foot in mind, the Mizuno Morelia Neo IV offers an excellent option for wide-footed players who want a traditional leather boot with modern enhancements.
The Neo IV features a wider toe box compared to its predecessor, the Neo III, delivering a roomier, more comfortable fit—particularly for players who need extra space in the forefoot.
The Neo IV combines Mizuno’s high-quality lightweight synthetic leather with elasticated inserts at the heel for exceptional flexibility. The improved stud placement offers optimal traction and stability, allowing players to dominate the pitch without the constraints of traditional speed cleats.
Worn by players like Sergio Ramos, the Morelia Neo IV is crafted for those who prioritize both comfort and performance. It’s a boot that excels in quality, fit, and durability—ideal for serious ballers.
#4. New Balance
First making their debut into the world of football in 2015 with their Visaro and Furon football boots, New Balance has since become the first sportswear brand in years to significantly rival the likes of Nike, adidas and Puma.
New Balance Furon V7+ Pro
When it comes to football boots, the Furon is fast…seriously fast.
Offering a highly responsive soleplate that situates comfort at the forefront of its design, the boot will leave you wondering why you ever wore anything else.
Unlike other speedboot silos where the upper can make you feel like your foot is being suffocated, the knitted upper instead cushions nicely against the foot to offer superb control.
Oh… and by the way, now might be a good time to say that New Balance are also one of the few brands who cater specifically for wide feet! Rejoice!
Thanks to its hypo-knit upper, inner mesh lining and off-set cored out canopy, the Furon V7 Pro provides the ultimate lockdown for your foot, enabling an increased strike zone.
Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka and Sadio Mané have been seen strutting their stuff wearing these!
For wide-footed players, we recommend you go up one size to ensure an optimal fit that accommodates your foot’s natural width.
#5. Nike
Nike Premier 3
They’re Premier for a reason…
A modernized take on an iconic classic, the Nike Premier 3’s stripped back and minimalistic design provides that sweet old school charm, whilst delivering unbeatable performance on the pitch.
As is the case with the majority of leather boots, the Kangaroo leather upper will stretch and expand over time to mold to your feet, whilst the soleplate provides enough width to support your feet comfortably.
If you’re tired of boots that don’t last as long as you’d like, the Premier 3’s durability makes them a fantastic choice. Once you’ve taken them for a test drive on the pitch, you’ll wonder why you never tried them before.
A strong competitor to the adidas Copa Mundial, the Premier 3 is an excellent option for players who are looking for a fantastic fit but don’t want to break the bank.
Nike Phantom GX II
Recently copped yourself a pair of Nike Mercurials only to find the boots are too narrow for your feet? Don’t worry, you’re not alone…
Incorporating a single layer of Gripknit technology, the Phantom GX II helps wider-footed players get closer to the ball by offering a barefoot feel with every touch and tap.
Although formed of synthetic material that won’t stretch as easily as leather, over time the boot will soften to enable a highly comfortable and adaptable fit.
Paired with a revamped Cyclone 360 soleplate design, space is freed up towards the arch to enable even the widest footed player to plant their foot seamlessly into this boot.
Nike Tiempo Legend 10
Since its debut into the football world at the ’94 World Cup, the Nike Tiempo has come a long way to finesse what many consider to be one of the finest football boots ever produced.
Where slim silos such as Nike’s Vapor and Superfly fail to cater for the wide-footed, the Tiempo’s spacious toe box, coupled with patented NIKE GRIP insoles and Flywire cables in the midfoot, provide the player with the perfect balance by offering space, whilst keeping the player’s foot locked down when it really matters.
Oh… and did we mention how the Tiempos are also one of the most comfortable boots on the market?
Memory foam touch pods embedded within the Flytouch Plus upper offers a premium feel whilst delivering cushioned contact with the ball.
When it comes to sizing up your boots, we recommend you stay true to size with the Tiempo!
It’s hard to fault this one…
