      Measure your feet. The best way to do this is to visit your local shoe dealer or sporting goods store and have your feet measured by a professional. If possible, measure the width of your feet as well as the length, as some online shoe companies provide an array of sizing options. Also, you may want to decide on a brand before having your feet measured, since different soccer cleats may have a different fit.

      Choose a brand. Finding an online company that allows you to customize soccer cleats can be accomplished with a simple Internet search. It would be wise to spend some time doing this, and not just pick the result at the top of the page. That's because some companies allow you to customize shoes more than others, and some are cheaper than others. There are also a variety of prices when it comes to shipping. So take some time to find the one that is best suited to your tastes --- and budget.

      Choose colors for your shoes. Once you've settled on a brand, it's time to start making your soccer cleats look the way you want. Almost all brands allow you to choose from multiple colors, and allow you to mix and match them however you want. In most cases, you can start at the top of the shoe, or the "base" that covers the toes. You can then color the sides, then the tongue and even the laces. You may want to keep the color of your cleats in line with your team's uniform --- or then again, you may not.

      Add to cart. After your soccer cleats are customized to your liking, you will be prompted to indicate your shoe size. Some brands allow to customize the cleats even further by adding your name and jersey number. After that, you will need to add your name, shipping address and credit card number. Expect a wait of anywhere from three to six weeks for your soccer cleats to arrive, although most brands offer express shipping for a fee.

      Design the laces. While white was once the most popular color choice for shoelaces, most companies give the option to go a different route. Choose from blue, purple, red and more.
