Finally: Cleats That Actually Fit Wide Feet
Have wide feet and play a sport that requires cleats? **You're not alone—and I feel your pain.**
I spent years cramming my feet into cleats that were too narrow. The result? **Bunions. Sprained ankles. Knee surgery.**
Okay, maybe that sounds dramatic. But the truth is, **not being able to move naturally in my cleats caused years of injury**—some of which I’m still dealing with today.
The worst offender? My beloved Nike Mercurial Vapors—worn from age 14–16, right during my developmental peak.
Just look at that shape. **More like a submarine than a human foot.**
Why Most Cleats Are Too Narrow
Brands like Nike and Adidas make their cleats narrow because:
- They *look* sleek
- They offer short-term “performance” through tight lockdown
- They're easier and cheaper to mass-manufacture
But here's the trade-off: **snug fit = foot pain + long-term injury risk.**
So… Are There Any Cleats for Wide Feet?
Yes—but **most wide options still fall short**. A few startups are trying, but **only one brand offers true custom-fit cleats based on your unique foot shape**.
Meet Prevolve Footwear. We 3D print cleats to match *your exact foot scan*—not a generic "wide" template. Every pair is built for your sport, position, and biomechanics. It's not just wider... it's smarter.

Why Don’t Big Brands Make Real Wide Cleats?
Because it’s expensive. Just one new cleat plate mold can cost **$10,000+ per size.** To make wide cleats across a full size range would require **millions in investment**—and big brands won’t spend that unless the public demands it.
