I had similar issues a couple of years back playing indoor fives. Got a half size larger Sambas then got plantar fasciitis insoles for them. Made a massive difference.Plantar fasciitis.
Says the predators were killing the soles of his feet.
Bout £100 and binned after 2 wears
As for wide feet, I always found Adidas to be a little narrower than other brands for football boots. Nike, Joma, and Puma were always my preference.
Good enough for the KING.

Adidas Mundials and World Cups is the only right answer here

If he's been properly diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, have you tried the Strassburg night-sock that stretches your achiles back, using an adjustable strap.
I had a bout of this when I was younger, affected me playing and running and this fixed it quickly.
There's different brands, that will all work https://thesock.com/

Nike Tiempos or Nike Premier for a comfy but good fit cannot go wrong.
Yeah, he’s been properly diagnosed with it. Wasn’t much available treatment iirc. Rolling feet over the wee massage balls, Tennis balls, frozen water bottles etc but don’t think it made too much difference when it had flared up.
Will look again at insoles and those sock things. Cheers lads

Played and managed for 17 years. Adidas boots are known for exacerbating these types of injuries. You can try stuffing the shoe with ice bags or tennis balls and freezing the boot. Once there is a stretch in the leather its much better. Nike are usually a better fit for broader feet but they don't offer as much protection.
for the PF make sure the tennis ball thing is done every day at least 2 or 3 times a day, and look in to getting a bosu board. Strengthening the muscles around the ankles can help a wee bit with the foot pain.
I'm surprised the physio or doc never recommended both?
Give the socks a go. I played and ran with pain for a good while. The socks fixed it in days / a couple of weeks. Good luck.
He had insoles before but not sure if they were specifically for PF.

Going a bit rogue here but I had bother with my feet as well (won’t get in to the gory details), and changed to New Balance boots, and haven’t had a problem since!
A thing of beauty

My choice of boot as well. Getting a long awaited return to amateur action this Sunday in the Central Over 40s league

I agree with this. I have a pair of Asics and they are designed with a slight raise that helps the muscles and tbh I’d say it definitely works.
If he has wide feet then the Nike GT or Puma Future, Puma One would be decent for him.
The new Predator Edge are very stiff and I haven’t tried the Freaks so not sure about them.
ProDirect have a sale on this now but also MandM direct have some real good deals on boots right now. Can get some elite level boots for about £40 right now depending on the size

I have been hunting for a pair I can wear on 4G for ages. I wouldn’t do them any justice though
