how tight should a shoe be?

[penguin_007]

i wear size 9 running shoes, 9.5 causal shoes, and i was trying on some new cleats,
when i wear a size 9, i can manage to stick my little finger into the back of the shoe, thats all the space. and when i wear a size 8.5, its tight that my toes can barely move. they can move up and down, thats all.

so 9 or 8.5? thanks guys

Always wanna go small on the boots. If you buy a pair that fits like a glove right away, then after a few uses. the boots will stretch and be too big. I usualy go with a half size smaller.

ill neva buy them half a size smaller than yur feet. ull start gettin toe problems n yur shots will be effected aswell as first touch.

Generally with a good quality boot, the leather will stretch and will, when broken in, fit your foot look a glove.

Yeah, it dosen't even have to be a good quality boot, eitherway the material is gonna stretch out. And it stretched to be about half a size, or more, larger than it was before.

I buy the same size shoe as I wear normally, and just tie the shoes tight. I know alotta people that buy them smaller than what they usually wear, but I tried that once, and I didn't like the fact that the hardened bottom was too small even when the SHOE stretched the bottom wouldn't.

does synthetic material stretch too?

also i have a problem here since if i buy a size 9, i can some how squeeze my little finger into the back of the shoe, thats all the space left.

but if i wear a 8.5, i have to bend my toes a little inside the shoe

what do u guys say?

if you get a too big shoe or it streches out wear regular socks under or over you socker ones, fits like a glove and is unnoticable

smaller is better u get better touch on teh ball becaues u dont want to be kicking a ball with just leather and no foot behind the ball get them atleast a size-1 1/2 to small if u get used to it ull never go back to getting them big
