stop spamming threads you two above.

as for the op, i would seriously not consider playing in bigger shoes, to play well you ALWAYS need a good fit imo. if there is a huge difference with the boots and your feet then you should sell them imo. if its only a little lose then i'd probably wear thicker socks or something. this is why you try them instore before buying sad.gif.

yessir...actually i did try some orange vapors the week before buying them and i was like...im gonna get size 9 but when i was about to order them i was scared that they would only fit for like 3 months so i bought 9.5 because i was being stupid...ill try to post pics on how big they are...but for now im thinking insole+double sock

you could try it but im pretty sure your game will be affected pretty badly by it. its pretty much like wearing shoes that are too small, it wont be a comfortable feeling and your touch and gameplay will be off a notch.

maybe you should leave them for the future when your feet do grow lol. for the mean time use something that will fit you perfectly. but really i think you should wait for your feet to properly fit into the vapor 4's before actually using them.

how old are you? i found that my feet stopped growing when i was around 16.

I bought a half size up in an already huge Nike Supremacy boot. Big mistake, and I seldom ever where them.

my F50.7's are a 9 and i ordered my vapor IV's in 9 aswell for the same reason you did (i could have fit into an 8 or 8.5) but i don't feel they affect my game that much, infact i feel like i play quite well in them.
just remember that you could sell them on ebay or if they accidently ripped you could send them back

insoles and two socks..

Hmm, you might have a bit of a problem on your hands there, double or triple socks maybe, you could always return them to the store and get a size 9 though I suppose.
¤•«BARCHESTER™»•¤
and how would i do that?!

it would be great help if you tell me exactly how to send them back

You couldn't most likely return them as you've already played in them , but you could always ask nike or the place where you ordered them .

But well , if that won't do it , i guess you could sell them .

It was said above, but I'll add a bit more.

Get a half size insole, and wear an extra pair of normal tube socks beneath your footy socks. I'd say that that'd be the best thing to do apart from waiting until you grow into them. I'd always say get a boot that is a snug fit at first, because you'll get a better touch and a better feel from it. But even if it is a bit big, there's always a way to pad the inside out a bit. If it doesn't work, then just add a pair of socks or get an insole that is one size instead of just a half size.

Hope that helped a bit!

I suggest you double sock, I do that sometimes with bigger boots and it is very comfy

To be honest, tighter boots give me a better touch. C.Ronaldo used to wear something like 2 sizes down I remember...

Yeah i read an article saying that hes a 9 but was wearing a 7 1/2 cause he said it gave him better touch, but he stopped when he was told if his toes get any bit more like constricted and messed up he would need surgery and be out for a season.

i cant last more than 10mins in smaller sized boots. its absolutely horrific for me. i know RVP wears very tight boots because thats how he likes to wear them, where as tight boots wont do any good for me as it will only cut off circulation and freedom for my foot to move around.

Give me a whistling.gif break!I've read this article from two sources-one time there was written size smaller,the next time 2 sizes smaller.But you are just writing non-sense...If he's wearing 2 size smaller he's toes would be smashed in his sole.

let me tell you my story, about 8 years ago now i brought the adidas preds, wore them for a whole season and the outsole underneath started to peel away from the leather upper. i took them back to the shop explained that for Ł120 i expect adidas to make boots that last longer than 9 month being used for 1 game a week. they asked me to write adidas a covering letter similar to above notes, they then sent them back and i got a full refund. i suggest you "damage" them in some way and return to either shop of contact nike direct. normally customer srvice will not quible if you just want a swap. say its becuase they were too big that they got damaged.
