Whether buying for yourself or for the kids, choosing a pair of football boots with the dream shape, design and size can often be a struggle.
Aside from the pile of options that manufacturers throw at us in the form of surface type, upper material, laces or not, we’re here to discuss only the boots that give a perfect fit for narrow feet.
The difference really isn’t much when it comes to defining a “narrow foot”, but to those slipping a new pair of boots on to them, it can be more noticeable than a Paul Pogba haircut.
The good news is, brands tend to offer certain silos that suit this foot shape more than others. And we can tell you exactly which ones…

How do you know if you have narrow feet?
You may have pulled on shoes or new football boots and noticed a slight bit of wiggle room at the sides. This is a telltale sign of narrow feet.
The easiest and best way to figure it out for certain, is to measure them accurately. Below we’ve added the key measurements that you should look at.
You should measure across the widest part of the foot (without shoes or socks on!) to give you the most accurate number.
Once you have it, use our men's or women's chart to understand whether your foot width falls into narrow, standard or wide UK sizing.
We also have a detailed article on how to choose the right size of football boot, if you need any more help.
And that’s it! Now, it’s time to slip into your dream pair of boots…

5. adidas X Speedportal+
Shop X >
The adidas X range is well-known for its slimline style. The latest adidas X Speedportalsticks to the script without question.
The laceless ‘+’ model is our selection (although the laced version is narrow too), mainly because it wraps the foot snugly with its Speedskin upper and Primeknit collar.
You can grab cheaper takedowns and sizes for kids too, with a range of crazy colourways for every surface imaginable.

4. Puma Ultra
Shop Ultra >
A laced option for the narrow-footed player is always a nice-to-have. The Puma Ultra is both lightweight and slimline, perfect for fleet-footed ‘ballers.
The premium ‘Ultimate’ version is packed with ULTRAWEAVE upper tech, which helps to mould around the foot, packing it in tight but offering flexibility and feel.
Takedown versions like the ‘Match’ and ‘Play’ are available, but don’t expect as much flexibility from them. As ever, Puma offers every colour for every style too.

3. adidas Predator Accuracy+
Shop Predator >
The previous Edge model was wider than usual, but with the latest Predator Accuracy, adidas are back to supporting the narrower fit.
Available in laced and laceless ‘+’ versions (our pick), you’ll find the Hybridtouch uppers hug you without being uncomfortable and its two-piece Primeknit collar does the same.
Plenty of takedowns in the ‘.2’ and ‘.3’ models are available cheaper than the premium models, with fresh colourways dropping regularly.

2. Nike Mercurial Vapor
Shop Vapor >
Legendary in the game and a long-running first choice for narrow feet. The latest Nike Mercurial Vapor 15 is the hallmark of deadly, goalscoring boots.
Premium models are always packed with modern technology, and this laced version (not available in laceless options) boasts Vaporposite+ uppers with ¾ Zoom Air in the heel.
Takedowns are an option, but as with most Nike boots the tech dropoff can be noticeable. Join Haaland and slip into these.

1. Nike Mercurial Superfly
Shop Superfly >
Everything we said above, repeat it. The 2023 Nike Mercurial Superfly 9 is exactly the same as the Vapor, but with a snug sock collar around the ankle.
The Vaporposite+ and Air unit stay in the premium model, but due to the tight sock collar, it’s a superb option for those with slim feet.
Again, worth mentioning that the ‘Pro’, ‘Academy’ and ‘Club’ takedowns are significant downgrades in tech. But Marcus Rashford approves of this one too, that’s for sure.
