Default Just got the new predator mania, and they seem to be to tight.

I havnt bought soccer shoes in 3 years, just bought these online. I got a size 10, they said they would stretch. I normally wear size 11, but those are quite big. So how long before I see stretching? How snug are these supposed to be?

I wear my boots very snug..with my toes right at the end of the shoe itself. Either wear them in the shower or go out and play around in them and the sweat from you feet will moisten the inside of the boot up and heat the leather up a bit and they'll give some.

So if my feet are snug up front, i could wear them in the shower to loosen them up? Make it a little more comfortable. See I dont want to screw them up, because i might want to send them back

To late. I compared them to my old shoes, and they seemed larger? Maybe I should just give them time to break in. I put water on them, and ran around for awhile. We will see..

its better when cleats are tight(I think). You have a better feel for the ball. They may stretch a little bit, which is normal...but they will always be real snug(thats how all predators are)....

I see, I had some old umbro's and they were a smaller size when I compaired them to the predators. I will just work on stretching them out.

Yeah I called, and am going to return them. Hopefully they will take them. If not I will sell someone predatormania's size 10 for a good price.
