text: Why don't you try a 9.0 then? Boots must ALWAYS be comfortable no matter what. So don't ever get the 8.5, and if you're growing pretty fast you might want to get the 9.5, otherwise don't.\n\nAs for boots, it depends on the type of surface you are playing on (i.e. court, field or turf) as well as what you need your boots to do for you. Remember, your boots serve you, so choose one that serves your needs. For instance, if you're the playmaker and need to spray the passes, then go for a pair that allows maximum grip and control.\n\nI haven't been keeping in touch with the latest boots so I guess you might want to go get a pair with a more experienced buyer.
