Wide cleats?????

Post by bjornolf » July 26th, 2015, 8:04 pm

My 10 year old starts soccer in a week and he has wide feet (2E). Any Clue where to get wide cleats for boys? I can't seem to find any anywhere.

The only company I could locate is this one Zephz Wide Traxx Soccer

They seem to carry wide width and are available on Amazon - not sure if you can track down a local source.

Can cleats be added to a pair of shoes he already has? Golfers do that all the time, don't they? Or is that idea just dumb? ;;)

It's definitely not dumb, but I doubt added cleats would hold up under the rigors of soccer, which are quite different than golf.

Yea, we tried to get those, but Amazon only had up to about a little kid 13 or a 1. Michael wears a size 4 wide.

Thanks though.

Have you gone directly to Zephz.com, skipping Amazon altogether? It seems like a helpful site.

It hasn't been that many years ago when we had "real shoe stores that measured your feet. They carried different weight shoes. I wish we still had them. :(
