Choosing and Caring for Boots

Football boot stretching is essential.

Wearing the tightest boots, and trust me I know through personal experience, is not pleasant.

Instead of thinking about where that ball is going out of your feet.

You are thinking of how the side of your boots is hugging them a little more than you would like.

So here’s how to stretch them.

1. Firstly a boot stretcher can help. It expands width & length, making them comfier. Insert it and adjust, then leave it for days.
2. Wear thick socks while wearing boots around the house. This creates pressure that’ll loosen them. Use a hairdryer to warm them before donning the socks. The heat will make them easier to stretch.
3. For leather boots, use leather conditioner. It softens leather and makes it more pliable. Apply it to a cloth and rub it in. Let it sit for hours before trying them on again.

Now, unless you are playing football at the highest level and can afford new boots every week, you’re likely wondering how often I should change them.

Of course, ideally, you don’t want to be changing them every month or so, as doing so can really burn a hole in your pocket.

However, at the same time, you want to have football boots that will stay effective, whether that be still offering good grip to the surface you are playing on or even in just good shape overall.

So if you’re wondering when to change your football boots especially if you are playing frequently, then this guide is for you.

As I will be telling you based on your level and the number of times you play, how many times ideally you want to be changing your footwear in football.

Are you wondering how to repair split football boots?

In this post, I will be taking you through how to do exactly that and other potential solutions that can help you out.

Now I know how frustrating it can be to tear your football boots, it’s almost always accidental, and for the most part, there isn’t much you can do about it.

While boots are made to be sturdy over time, it’s only natural that they will tear, as they aren’t designed to last a lifetime of footy.

So with that said, let’s get right into the post where I will be offering help and advice based on my experiences with this issue.

Whether you have already brought football boots or are thinking of doing so, one question that might have come to your mind is how tight should they be.

After all when it comes to shoes in general football boots are a lot different to anything else out there and this is mainly because they are made solely for use on the football pitch.

Now unlike your typical trainers, you would wear casually or a pair of smart shoes you would wear to some event, what you tend to look for in football boots is a lot different.

The goal is some comfortable but also tight, however for you to find yourself to this post, you are likely wondering how tight should they be?

Well, here I am going to use my experience from buying football boots for the last 13+ years, to help you figure out what to look for when on the hunt for the perfect fit.
