20 Best Shoes For Soccer Referee (2023 Updated)

Very comfortable shoes, especially if you have wide feed. They are light-weight and give good traction, even on slick courts. However, with my old pair, the tread on the bottom of the shoe pulled apart, but I was able to shoe-goo it back together.

Great shoe!.

Though not as wide as I had hoped the M would be the shoes are otherwise FINE. I am not an umpire and plan to wear them as dress shoes. I greatly loosened the laces thereby making the shoes seem wide enough to be comfortable.

Thank you for being there. Sincerely and in Christ, Dorien de L.

I purchased these shoes because they are advertised as geared towards basketball officiating and they are a very comfortable and great looking shoe.

The photograph of the white Adidas Samba shows a beige sole. The ones that arrived today have a black sole. I will be able to return them, but be warned! The color you receive might be different than what is shown.

A bit disappointed that Dick’s of all places would make this kind of mistake. My rating is more on Dick’s than the actual product–great shoes. just the wrong color.

I’ve been buying Sambas for years. My dad has been buying them for longer. They always have had the tan sole like in the pictures advertised but when my order came today, I saw the soles were black. It’s not a huge deal, just cosmetic.

But if you’re going to send out a product that is different than the picture, update the picture.

OK. This is the original indoor soccer shoe. You can’t go wrong with a pair of Sambas! The Samba has great ball feel, with both the leather upper and with the rubber sole. These shoes are very comfortable, reasonably durable, and look great for casual wear.

I primarily wear my Sambas with jeans and shorts, and I am always ready for pick-up soccer games. The insole in these shoes is flat, and offers very little support. But that is one reason they have such great ball feel.

there aren’t multiple layers of rubber, silicone or air pockets between you and the ball. So don’t expect these to be like wearing a pair of Nike Air running shoes. Also, the laces don’t come up the shoe that far, which means that you can’t really cinch them tight around your ankle.

But all that is kind of contrary to what the Samba is about: cool, casual socccer style. Wearing a pair of Sambas sets you apart as a soccer player. Make the ball happy. get a pair of Sambas.

I bought these 2 months ago and they’re already starting to wear out around the Achilles tendon area. The first 2 weeks wearing them was rough. They have a VERY pronounced hump where the arch of your foot is and the pressure of walking was super uncomfortable and even made my foot go numb in that area.

Once they broke in I stopped noticing it. Aside from that the tongue is way bigger than in the picture they have shown here. It’s massive and looks dumb. I usually love Sambas, but I’ve come across pairs that are lower in quality, and get this pilly leather thing goin on.

And I know it’s the material quality, not my use because one shoe does it and the other doesn’t. I don’t think the pair I bought in store is the same as the Sambas I usually buy. (I’m assuming because of the different tongue shape and size) All in all, these shoes were a disappointment, I wouldn’t recommend them.

These soccer shoes were purchased for my 13y/o son. He absolutely loves them. These were his 2nd pair. The first pair he had, lasted about a year and a half, with pretty heavy use during the last 6 months.

The soles of the 1st pair never ripped or wore out. the shoelaces-unlike other sports shoes- didn’t consistently come untied. The one issue we did have, was that after about a year and some months, the fabric over the toes ripped on one of the shoes, to the point his big toe stuck out.

However, we believe that it was caused by the almost daily usage, sometime for 3 hour training sessions. My son has wider feet, yet the regular width was fine for him. He said they are extremely comfortable and wear in quickly.

These soccer shoes were worn exclusively for indoor soccer on “indoor soccer turf”. The traction is very good for this.

These cleats were fantastic, felt great on foot, great color, great touch, and were honestly some of the best first-impression cleats I’ve tried. while they lasted. I got two wears out of them before the soleplate starting separating.

I went and exchanged them for a new pair aaaaand the new pair lasted a whole three wears before the whole front of the soleplate was flapping around. It’s really unfortunate because I’ve heard great things about these cleats and liked them for the few wears I got out of them, but it was such disappointing durability.

Finally, only two weeks since getting the first pair, I went in and exchanged the second broken pair for a pair of Nike cleats. Thank you to Dick’s and employees for being understanding and helpful but man, frustrating circumstances with the cleats.

Again, I want to be clear that this is a review of the product, not of Dick’s. The employees at Dick’s were wonderfully helpful and the return policies made it overall far less frustrating than it could’ve been.

This boot fits true to size. I’m a US9. 5 and it fit perfectly. It was snug but not overly so. Grip on the outsole is perfectly fine as to be expected. Previous to these boots I’ve been using a pair of very old Adidas boots made from leather but still in excellent condition as I am only a casual football player.

On comparison, I was expecting these Puma boots to somehow blow them out of the water. They didn’t. Yes, the upper is much better in fit and it is much lighter and good for speed. With my Adidas pair, the tongue would always slide to one side which was an ongoing issue.

But overall, the Puma pair, although very good, does not warrant the high price tag. I’d recommend these boots but only if you can get them at a discount.

We chose this after going through many reviews and trying on different brands and shoes. This was one a the few that the width was correct for the size for us. From reviews and the make of the shoe they seem like they will be durable.

Initially they are a little more stiff less spring then Adidas but haven’t broken them in much yet. Time will tell. Will be using for summer training and middle school and travel soccer.

I have worn the shoes through 8 games. They fit true to shoe size, very comfortable and look great. I did notice the black paint wore off the rivets quickly when the shin guard touched them. Besides this they like great and shine quickly.

I wore the plate shoes @ my game the day they were delivered. Pitches 3 & 4 were direct hits to my toe and side of foot. The catcher. Prep Age needed some experience. No issues absorbing direct contact, very comfortable.

Good looking shoe with good protection! Definitely need to put a better insole but that’s true with almost any shoe. Great looking for use on the field. Price was right.

Vomero’s have been great over the last two iterations. Last iteration with full length zoom and react and the current with zoomx. This version with zoomx will leave you speechless. They check all the boxes.

They feel low enough to feel the ground, have a wide base, materials are very comfortable and breathable. The two shinning lights for me are the premium shoe strings and zoomx cushioning. It really doesnt get any beter for a good every day, everything shoe.

I’ll admit there are better options for speed work but these perform exceptionally well for just about all activities. They have served me well from all day walking to HIIT workouts to moderate to brisk paced runs.

Zoomx is very comfortable. Its firmly bouncy if that makes sense. And these look really good too. It really is the only shoe I want to wear. My only small gripe would be the fit. There will be a bit of heel slippage until they break in but there are additional lace holes to aid with lockdown.

This is a HOF shoe and will be really hard to out perform for the next iteration.

The shoe is actually great. Full of Nike’s latest tech, Zoom Air, Reat foam, Flyknit upper, water resistant treatment to the Flyknit, and not to mention, great disign. However, I have one issue, and that is the sizing.

I ordered the size I normal wear with all other Nike shoes, which is size 9. However, with these it is too small. I was really surprised that my toes were actually pressed up agianst the toe-box of the shoe! Take into consideration walking 18 holes.

Then, not only the walking 18 holes, but also the pressure you put on the toes of your rear foot as you pivot on it on every swing. I will not be to wear them to play because of how they fit, I now need at least a size 9.

5, but that size is no longer avaible. Unfortunately, for me, I am stuck with a shoe I can’t wear. Albeit, a great shoe, just needed a bigger then usual size. If you are considering these shoes, then find a store that carries them and try them on.

Try your regulr size and then try half, if not a full size bigger, just to ensure a good comfortable fit.

I ordered my usual 8. 5 and they were very roomy. I do use an insole but even with that it was too big all over. It felt like I put on my dads shoes when I was little. The shoe itself was very stylish, love the soft suede on the toe box, color, and the sole felt like it had good grip.

It was made well. I gave it 4 stars as I had to return for an actual cleat so I didn’t get to test it out on turf or in a friendly pick-up situation and properly rate it for performance and comfort. Had they been my size I prob would have kept them to use when I coach.

Overall I was impressed with new balance as I’ve never worn this brand before, especially for soccer. But I would definitely try another new balance product (cleat or turf shoe) in the future and would go a 1/2 size down.

The selection for quality indoor shoes in wide width is very limited. Although I have only been playing with them for a few weeks, they feel excellent. I can’t speak to durability yet but they look as well made as any other brands.

The shoes Makes you have a better touch and feeling with the ball. Having legendary shoes makes you see the game differently.

Top.

TranslateShow in original languageProduto de boa qualidade e confortável, especialmente na região do calcanhar, mas deixa a desejar justamente no contorno do calcanhar, por ser cano muito baixo, dá a sensação de que o pé fica ‘solto’ nessa região do contraforte, sendo que calça melhor e dá mais estabilidade sem a palmilha.

Obs. : As dimensões do meu pé são; 27,7 cm de comprimento e 11,2 cm de largura; tendo comprado numeração BR 42, ficou na medida. Recomendada para quem tem pés largos.

I always wear Nike size 10 for trainers and boots but these are too tight. They feel generally comfortable but I know that after a few minutes playing in these my toes would be crying out. They don’t fit like my normal size 10 and they are also very narrow.

A shame but I’ll have to size up.

Bought these in White & Pink for my daughter. Came promptly & good price for brand. Fit as expected I always size up for football boots as they tend to come up narrow.

Bought for my sin and wow, am the best mum ever!!! He loves them. Fab colour and a great fit. Got at a brill price too 10/10

The patent leather Referee shoes are very comfortable. These shoes were available at Dick’s. I checked the web and I couldn’t find them in size 13s. But Dick’s had them and they arrived 2 days after I placed by order.

This shoe is a classic. I bought a Mercurial and a Copa Mundial just to prove to my 14 year old that he would love both shoes. He said “no way I would want the cleat that you wore dad!” Well we sent kept the Copa Mundial because he told me “ it was everything that I described to him” It fit like no other clear he has ever had.

Then after wearing them a couple of times and it molded to his foot he was blown away on the fit getting even better than the original fit. Plus the fold down tongue is such a good look that a couple other kids got a pair for themselves! This is the boot of all boots! Long live the Copa Mundial Oh yeah the white bottom with the black studs still looks so cool under the lights and on turf because they stay bright white… so cool!.

I’ve been wearing these for 30 years. Once in a while, I try some of the newer technology shoes but end up donating them because they just don’t feel this good. The form to the shape of your foot due to the high quality leather.

They run large, so I buy them a full size smaller and let them stretch to my foot, giving them that glove-like feel. Are they a bit heavier than a modern shoe? Yes. It doesn’t matter to me though. If you want a solid pair of cleats that is durable and comfortable, give these a try.

There is a reason these have been the choice of many top players for so many years. As a side note, I have flat, wide feet. These are by far the most comfortable out there.

So I always buy my son Adidas soccer cleats because I found them to have a wider toe box and usually had a $19. 99 -$24. 99 option. We started in 6U with a size 13C up through the youth sizes (1-6) and finally the men’s sizes in the last 18 months.

He’s in 13U now (men’s 8). Anyways, at a scrimmage I noticed he was running like frankenstein and after the game I asked him why and he said his feet hurt. He had blisters and a beginner callous. I usually would buy the whole and half size to grow into, but I could see that his foot was just too wide for the shoe.

The shoes was bulging out where he was starting to get a callous. I suffer from foot issues and don’t want him to suffer the same. I researched wide foot cleats and found them made by new balance and puma, but also found some articles recommending the adidas copa mundial for it’s kangaroo leather.

Found them on sale at DSG with a DSG $10 coupon so decided to give them a try since my son wanted to stay with adidas. I was almost going to buy a size 9 since I read that this kind of leather stretches out, but decided to try the 8.

5. I had also read some articles saying to go down 2 sizes, but glad I didn’t. 8. 5 is perfect (remember he was outgrowing the 8). No more rubbing! I even went to adidas outlet to try some other (non-leather) options in 8.

5/9 size and you could see (he could feel) they were going to rub. He uses them about 6-8 hours a week and they look like they’re a great option for him right now.

My son loves these shoes. Exactly as pictured on website. He always loves being able to add personalization of name and number to the shoes.

My son gets so many compliments on these. He says they’re comfortable and don’t untie easily like his other cleats during games.

Great shoes for futsal. High quality as well. I would purchase again for my child.

Purchased these for my son to use at Auskick. Very light and comfortable shoe. Fits very snug too and easy to put on. The colour is very vibrant! Delivery was nice and quick. I also purchased the girls toddler ones too.

Pink and white. She loves them!.

Great boots, perfect fit, easy to wear, exactly as described

Item as described, perfect fit. Quick and easy transaction. Very Happy.

After ordering with a personalised letter on the side I received the boots with completely the wrong personalisation. After talking to an agent online I was offered a refund or £10 credit to keep the boots.

I decided the personalisation wasn’t that bad (I ordered GJ85 in white and it came with an Italian flag and the letters GT in red!!) so accepted the £10. I hadn’t tried the boots on at this time as I didn’t want to wear them if they were going back.

It came to a day where I had football training so tried the boots on, the fit wasn’t great and they didn’t feel like the quality I was expecting so I decided that I wouldn’t like to keep them. I again got in touch but was told that as I’d had the £10 voucher that I couldn’t get a refund.

(This was still well within 14 days of purchase) So now I’m stuck with trainers that are I’ll fitting and have the incorrect personalisation.

Bought these pre-season and they are amazing. They are so comfortable and the COLOUR is even better in real life. Considering most boots these days, particularly Nike, are alot more expensive, these are great value for money.

I usually size up by 1 with football boots and these fit me well but with a bit more room around the toes. Would completely reccomend.

Ordered and received so quickly! Just in time for school grand-final games. My son said they are comfy light and look cool. Rebel is my go to for ordering sport equipment and clothing online. I live in rural NSW.

My son was over the moon to be able to view all the choices and select the boot he liked.
