[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the others mentioned, I’d go a half size up. Width is good and spikes are nice for turf. I play goalie and forward so I’m not too picky on types of spikes for these guys. I needed a pair because my regular cleats stopped my goal kicks by digging into the turf.
