Sizing Guide

Shoes

Comfort is the most important consideration when choosing your soccer shoes. When you receive your new soccer boots, try them on indoors to check for correct fit. Shoes should fit snugly without discomfort or pressure. Look for a gap of 1/4 – 1/2 inch between your toes and the end of the shoe. If a player is still growing, consider buying soccer shoes a little large and filling in the excess space by wearing an additional pair of socks.

Find Your Shoe Size

Step 1

Measure the length of your foot in centimeters (cm). Stand up and put your foot on a piece of paper and draw a line across the longest point of your toes. Then take the pen and draw a line around the longest point of the back of your foot (be careful not to use the length of your heel).

Step 2

Take a straight edge and draw one line across your toes and one line across the back of your foot. Use the longest points as a reference and make sure that the lines are parallel to each other. Measure in centimeters from the front to the back. Round up to the closest half centimeter and remember that number.

Step 3

Take your size in centimeters and pull up AuthenticSoccer.com’s international size chart. Find your size in centimeters on the chart and match it with the equivalent US Men or US Women size based on the gender of the shoe.

Step 4

Now you have your “general” size according to a manufacture’s standards. We all know that shoes fit differently and here is where we can find the best shoe size for you. The Sizing by CM line will let you know how this particular shoe fits. (Note: this only pertains to the length of the shoe) Combining the information in this line and the US Men or US Women’s size, calculated by your foot length in centimeters, you can figure out the shoes true size.

For example, a foot length of 27 CM is equivalent to a US Men’s 9. If the Sizing by CM says “Half Size Short” this means that I will need a 9.5. If the Sizing by CM says “Half Size Long” this means that I will need an 8.5. Please be careful because this may seem backward. When the Sizing by CM line says that the shoe runs a “Half Size Short” this means that a size 9.5 in the shoe really fits like a size 9 in the Size Chart.

Step 5

Take the size calculated in step 4 and find your size in the drop down box.

Congratulations you can now breath. Who knew that buying soccer shoes would be so fun.
