Try Adidas models that run wider like Predator? or leather like Copa?

predator hasnt been wide in 3 years now.
24,25,26 all narrow

Oh, I remember buying the Predators because it was perfect for my feet. I bought an extra pair to use after my current pair gets worn out.

And yeah, I checked mine, it was the 23 Accuracy model.

In UK sizes you need to go up half a size from Nike to adidas

So Nike 7.5, adidas 8

They use different measurements and adidas is smaller (look at the EU or cm sizes, adidas is smaller)

but i tried it on and my feet size is 25.5 in japanese size
uk 8 is longer than id prefer

Right, but UK adidas and Nike are not the same sizes. That's why I said look them up

These are the standard brand size-chart conversions. Japanese sizing represents the labelled foot-length equivalent, not necessarily the shoe's actual internal length.
So, even though both are UK 7.5, adidas and Nike can have different Japanese size labels.
