    • Size & Fit Guide

      Our boots are made in standard US boot sizing. We recommend ordering your usual US boot size — for example, if you wear US 10D, choose size 10.

      1. Standard sizing

      If you normally wear a whole size (e.g. 9, 10, 11), order the same size.
      → If you wear US 10D, choose size 10.

      2. Half sizes (e.g. 8.5, 9.5)

      If your usual size is not available, we recommend sizing up.
      → 9.5 → choose 10

      3. Wide feet (E / EE width)

      If you typically wear wide sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.

      If you need further help, please check the size chart or contact customer service.
