    Wide Football Boots From Other Brands: Skechers, Under Armour, Joma and More

    By Rinze Kooistra · Updated

    The short answer

    Away from the big brands, Skechers (SKX_2, Razor 2) and the Sokito Scudetta BioTouch suit a wide foot best. The Under Armour Magnetico has a wider toe box, while Joma runs long rather than wide. For hummel and Cruyff there is too little data to call it.

    Wide football boots from other brands make for a short list: away from the big names, only a handful of makers are worth a look. Skechers (SKX_2 and Razor 2) and Sokito (Scudetta BioTouch) are the ones our sources name most often as a wide option. The Under Armour Magnetico has a wider toe box but a slim midfoot. Joma runs long rather than wide, and for hummel and Cruyff we found too little fit data to give a verdict.

    Below we go brand by brand through what we know, and what we do not. Our verdicts are based on manufacturer information, fit notes from retailers and what players report. We do not run lab tests. Where the sources are thin, we say so. The list at the top of this page shows the models from this group that we rate for wide feet.

    Skechers football boots for wide feet

    Of the smaller brands, Skechers gets the most mentions for a wide foot. The SKX_2 Elite has a FitKnit upper on its own last, and the Razor 2 Elite combines microfibre and knit. Both are described as round, anatomical boots that suit wide feet and fit true to size.

    The SKX_2 has plenty of room in the toe box and forefoot, and the knit softens with wear. The knit collar is less adjustable, though. The Razor 2 has a wider, natural toe box along the whole boot and, according to our sources, suits wide, flat feet. The heel is slightly wider too.

    Sources disagree about the original Razor: some call it wide in the toe, others say it is narrower than the SKX. We go with the verdict on the Razor 2, because it is a redesign. Details of the Razor 2’s AG soleplate are not confirmed, and the SKX_2 is only sold as an FG boot in the UK.

    Under Armour Magnetico and Shadow

    The Magnetico Elite 6 has a wider toe box, a slim midfoot and a good heel, and it fits true to size. The upper is soft, but one retailer says the soleplate feels narrow and centred under the midfoot. On older Magnetico versions, wide-footed players went half a size up.

    That makes the Magnetico a fit for a standard to slightly wide forefoot with a narrow midfoot. With a wide midfoot or flat feet, we would steer clear. The Shadow Elite IV is a speed boot for narrow, long feet and is no good for wide feet. You can see the Magnetico card above: the Under Armour Magnetico is the one to try first from this brand.

    Joma football boots: long, not wide

    Joma consistently runs long. Retailers recommend a smaller size, and a reviewer of the Propulsion Lite told wide-footed players to avoid the brand altogether. The microfibre on the Aguila Cup does not stretch and the fit is described as snug.

    Not all of the reviews are recent, so there is some uncertainty here. For wide feet we cannot recommend Joma, because the boots run long rather than wide. Joma is good value, though, and turns up a lot for indoor and astro (TF). The Joma Top Flex indoor shoe is described as standard fit, so that one does not earn a wide label either. There is more on indoor footwear on our page on indoor football boots for wide feet.

    Sokito Scudetta BioTouch

    The Sokito Scudetta BioTouch is slightly wider than the Scudetta Kaizen. It has a separate tongue, deep lacing, very soft synthetic leather and a higher toe box than the Kaizen, and it fits true to size. The studplate is slightly narrower than the sole. The Kaizen runs long with a low, pointed toe box and does not suit a wide foot.

    Sokito positions itself as a sustainable brand. Stock is patchy, so check your size is available before you set your heart on a pair. In our list, the Sokito Scudetta is the pick from this group for a wide forefoot.

    Brands for wide feet without data: hummel and Cruyff

    For hummel’s current football boots we found no usable fit data. Retailers mostly stock the Top Star, a budget junior model, and their listings describe it as standard fit. So we do not give a verdict on width.

    The same goes for Cruyff. The brand turns up mostly with the Libra, an indoor shoe that retailers list as standard. We have no independent source on how wide Cruyff boots are.

    Other brands for wide feet: Umbro, Kipsta, Lotto, Pantofola d’Oro and Diadora

    For these brands the fit information is scarce and partly out of date. Leather tends to be the main material. This is what we know:

    • Umbro Speciali Eternal: classic leather with a separate tongue and a removable insole, but historically you needed half a size up. Little recent data.
    • Kipsta Viralto IV Pro: leather, described by one reviewer as a fairly wide fit. One retailer recommends half a size down, while a reviewer says wide feet are more likely to need a size up. We leave that contradiction standing.
    • Lotto Stadio: medium to wide in older reviews, and a junior Stadio 200 III suited a child with wide feet.
    • Pantofola d’Oro: kangaroo leather that moulds to your foot once broken in, though the Del Duca is narrow.
    • Diadora Brasil: kangaroo leather with room in the toe box, medium width, runs slightly long.

    We keep these brands out of our top lists until there is recent fit data. If you want a wide boot from one of the big players, look at adidas, Nike, Puma, New Balance or Mizuno.

    Which wide football boots from other brands suit your foot?

    If you need a wide forefoot and a high toe box, Skechers and the Sokito BioTouch are your best bets. If your width is in the midfoot, the smaller brands are less suitable and you are better off with the big names. If you are unsure, use the football boot adviser or read how to measure your foot in our guide to measuring foot width.
