If you are looking for wide soccer cleats for women, shop by model, not by the women’s label. Our sources don’t mention a single women’s last that is known for being wide, and most lines use unisex sizing. So the job is to find a wide model, go by your foot length and make sure your size comes in the version you want.
Below we cover which models suit a wide foot, how to deal with unisex sizing and what to do when a wide forefoot comes with a narrow heel. The list at the top of the page shows our three highest-scoring picks for wide feet.
Are there wide soccer cleats for women?
Yes, just not on a separate women’s last. Wide soccer cleats are models built on a wide last, and those are made for everyone. Retailers do label some cleats as women’s, but most lines come in unisex sizing without a separate women’s version.
Women’s-specific editions do exist, and they are often aimed at narrow feet. For a wide foot, that is exactly the wrong direction. So when you see that label, look at the line, not the word women’s.
How wide a cleat fits comes down to the last and the material. That is true for men, women and kids alike. A woman with a wide foot has the same things to check as a man with one: where does it press, how much can you adjust the lacing and does the material stretch?
Which soccer cleats fit women with wide feet?
Our verdicts are based on manufacturer information, retailer fit notes and player feedback. These models suit a wide foot and also come in smaller sizes. Always check the available sizes in the shopping box.
- Puma King 20: wide through the heel, midfoot, forefoot and soleplate. It runs short, so most players go half a size up.
- Nike Phantom 6: the widest Nike. According to our sources, the youth sizes consistently run wider, which matters if you have small feet.
- adidas Copa Pure IV: a roomy forefoot, calfskin that stretches and a separate tongue with laces. We would skip the laceless version.
- New Balance 442 v3: fairly wide, with a separate tongue, and offered in 2E in select colors. There is also a 442 Academy Wide for juniors.
- Nike Tiempo Ligera Pro: separate tongue, works for both wide and narrow heels.
- Mizuno Morelia II: kangaroo leather on a wider last, which according to our sources works for wide and narrow feet. Keep in mind that the Morelia Neo V is a different line, and it runs narrow.
Every model scores on several fit factors at once, and a wide forefoot calls for a different search than a high instep. Use the cleat advisor if you have more than one issue, and read soccer cleats for a high instep if the pressure is on top of your foot.
How do you convert a women’s size for unisex soccer cleats?
Soccer cleats are often sold in men’s or unisex sizes, and brands convert in different ways. Your best bet for converting between men’s and women’s sizes is the brand’s own size chart, and our size converter helps you compare. Don’t rely on a general rule of thumb.
The most reliable route is your foot length. Measure standing up, in soccer socks and at the end of the day, and go by your longer foot. You will find the steps in how to measure your foot width. Then compare that length with the brand’s chart and read how the model runs.
A quick note on width letters: in US sizing, D is wide for women and standard for men. Most soccer brands don’t use these letters. New Balance is the exception, with 2E on select models, see New Balance for wide feet.
Don’t size up to get more width. All that buys you is extra length, heel slip and a worse feel on the ball. Pick a wider model or a leather cleat instead.
Sizing advice varies by model. The Puma King 20 runs short and often needs an extra half size. The Nike Phantom runs about a quarter size long. According to our sources, the adidas Copa Pure IV Elite fits true to size, and going half a size down gives you a glove-like fit once it is broken in. Read the sizing advice for each model before you order.
A lot of cleats that are wide in the forefoot are also roomy around the heel. If you have a wide forefoot but your heel slips, look for a model with a good heel lock. The Mizuno Morelia II and the Nike Tiempo Ligera Pro get mentioned for this, because their lacing closes up well. Our guide on how to lace soccer cleats also shows a heel lock that helps.
Small sizes aren’t available in every version, so check the shopping box to see whether your size is in stock. For more on heel slip, read the guide on soccer cleats for narrow feet.
Women’s wide soccer cleats for artificial grass
The soleplate is a separate choice from the width. Pick the wide model first, then look for its AG, MG or TF version. We explain how that works in wide turf soccer shoes.
Frequently asked questions
Are there wide soccer cleats for women?
We found no dedicated wide women's lasts. Instead, you pick a wide model in unisex sizing, such as the Puma King 20, the Nike Phantom 6, the adidas Copa Pure IV or the New Balance 442.
Are there women's-specific wide soccer cleats?
Not as a line labeled wide. Some women's editions exist, but they are often aimed at narrow feet, so look at the line, not the women's label.
How do you convert a women's size to a unisex soccer cleat?
Use the brand's own size chart and compare it with your foot length, measured standing up in soccer socks. Brands convert differently, so a general rule of thumb isn't reliable.
Can a woman wear men's soccer cleats?
Yes. Many soccer cleats are unisex or sold in men's sizes, and the fit depends on the last, not on gender. Just check that your size is available in the version you want.
What size soccer cleats should I get if I have wide feet?
The size that matches your foot length, in a wider model rather than a bigger size. With the Puma King 20, most players go half a size up, because it runs short.
What does width D mean for women?
In US sizing, D is wide for women and standard for men. Most soccer brands don't use these letters, so go by the model and its sizing advice.
Where can I find wide soccer cleats in small sizes?
Check the shopping box on each model page for available sizes. For juniors, there is the Nike Phantom 6 Academy, which runs wider, and the New Balance 442 Academy Wide.
