What size cleat should you wear for football?

Question

My normal shoe is a size 10, and i wear size 9.5's for sports, like when i go jogging or play tennis, and i had a pair of 9.5's for football too. This leaves a thumb sized space (width wise) between my toes and the shoe. But i run a lot and make a lot of cuts, (I play CB and a little FS) The 9.5's do okay for me, but if tighter shoes will make me shave some millisconds of my dash, ill do it. So would it be best if i wear 9's? Since that would be a perfect fit.

(I dont want any of that, "oh, it needs to be tight, but not too tight" or "Just as long as its comfortable" c**p)

Answer 1

wear the size that fits you (duh)

Answer 2

Wear 9's

Answer 3

go barefoot

Answer 4

Just as long as it's comfortable... you aren't going to go pro or anything.  Go out there and have fun with whatever size of shoe fits you best.

Answer 5

stop worrying about shaving 'some milliseconds off' you 40-time and spend the time studying tape.  your shoe size isn't going to better your game..  that being said, wear shoes that fit b/c too tight or too loose is going to cause blisters and ultimately hurt your game.

Answer 6

Big cleats wreck knees, small cleats bruise butts/hips. Medium cleats do some of both. Regards, Larry.
