Boot Sizing Guide

1. Measure late in the day, wearing the socks you'll wear with the boots. Feet swell as the day goes on — a morning measurement runs small.
2. Stand on a sheet of paper against a wall, heel touching the wall, weight on that foot. Have someone mark the tip of your longest toe.
3. Measure heel to mark in centimetres. Do both feet — most people have one slightly longer. Fit to the bigger foot.
4. Check your width at the widest point across the ball of the foot. If your feet are broad, look for D or EE fittings rather than sizing up in length.

A cowboy boot has no laces — the fit comes from the shape of the boot itself, and it feels different from anything else in your wardrobe. Three checkpoints:

• The instep is the anchor. The top of your foot should feel firmly, comfortably held. If the instep is loose, the boot is too big no matter what the toes say.
• Heel slip is normal. A new boot's stiff sole should let your heel lift 5–10 mm as you walk. As the sole flexes with wear, the slip disappears. No slip at all in a brand-new boot usually means it's too small.
• The ball of your foot sits at the widest part of the sole. If it sits forward of that point, size up; behind it, size down. Toes should wiggle freely and never touch the end.
