"Step on My Old Size Nines" is the third single from Welsh rock band Stereophonics' third album, Just Enough Education to Perform (2001). The song is track four on the album. It was released on 24 September 2001, reaching number 16 on the UK Singles Chart and number 26 in Ireland. A live acoustic version recorded at the Grand Opera House in York, England, is on CD2 of the "Step on My Old Size Nines" single.

Background

Lead singer Kelly Jones began writing the song in May 2000. While spending a night with his friends in Birmingham, Jones played several of his new songs, during which one of his friends asked if he had written a song in open G tuning. Right before Stereophonics went to Monnow Valley Studios in Wales for a recording session, Jones wrote the entire song with this tuning in 10 minutes and recorded a demo of "Step on My Old Size Nines" at his house. Once he arrived at Monnow Valley Studios, he placed the track onto the demo CD.{{cite AV media notes|title=Just Enough Education to Perform|title-link=Just Enough Education to Perform|others=Stereophonics|year=2001|type=UK CD album booklet|publisher=V2 Records|id=VVR1015842}}
