Mizuno Size Chart India: Wave Rebellion and Morelia Fit Guide
Mizuno covers both running and football, and the two lines fit differently enough to need separate guidance. The Wave Rebellion racing shoe runs a touch small, while the Morelia football boot is true to size but narrow through the toe box. This guide gives you the chart and both.

The one rule that fixes most sizing mistakes
On the Wave Rebellion, consider half a size up since it runs about a quarter size small. On the Morelia, stay true to size but expect a narrower toe box than other football boot brands, with half a size down as an option if you want a snugger, more locked in feel.

Wave Rebellion, Morelia: fit notes by line
Wave Rebellion (running)
Runs about a quarter size small. If you are between two sizes on the chart above, take the larger one. This is specific to the racing focused Wave Rebellion line rather than a general Mizuno running shoe characteristic.
Morelia (football boots)
True to size, but narrow with limited toe space compared to other football boot brands. The leather upper does adjust and soften to your foot shape with wear. If you want a snug, locked in feel typical of boot style football boots, true to size or even half a size down works well; if you have wide feet, factor in the narrow toe box before ordering.

India specific fit considerations
Football boot width. Indian feet running wider than the Morelia's narrow toe box is worth planning for specifically, since the leather does soften but does not meaningfully widen the toe box shape itself.
Racing versus daily use on the Wave Rebellion. If you plan to actually race in the Wave Rebellion, the quarter size small fit still applies; size up half regardless of intended use given how consistently this is reported.
Every pair from the Mizuno collection at Kicks Machine is inspected in house before it ships, size stamp checked against the box label.
Care tip: leather football boots need conditioning to stay flexible
The Morelia's leather upper needs occasional conditioning to stay supple and to keep softening properly around your foot shape rather than cracking. A properly sized pair reduces the stress on the leather at the narrow toe box specifically. Our sneaker care collection has leather conditioners suited to football boot uppers.
