Boot Fit Guide

Generally, your boots should be the same size as your shoe size. When boots are fitted correctly, your feet should feel great. Remember that differences in leather, toe and heel styles can affect the way a boot fits. Determine what thickness of socks you generally wear and allow for the socks in the fitting process. Our boot fitting guide will show you how to get that proper, comfortable fit that everyone should have with a new pair of boots.

1. TAKE A SEAT: It is much easier to pull on boots when seated. You will hear a soft “plop” when the foot drops into the boot. Now you must stand to determine proper fit.
2. FIND THE FOOTBALL: The ball of the foot should be the widest part of the boot’s outsole. When standing, the boot shank and arch of the foot should have matching curves.
3. MAKE ROOM FOR THE TOES: There are two tests to determine whether or not your boots have ample toe room. First run your finger over the smaller toes’ area to see if the toes touch softly again the leather. Make sure to be standing. If the smaller toes extend beyond the stitching line of the welt, or if the toes cause a bump, the boots are too short. Try a larger size.
4. INSTEP FIT: You can determine if your boots fit across the instep by taking the leather between your thumb and index finger and rubbing your thumb across the instep. If the boots are too loose, a large wrinkle will appear. A slight wrinkle means the boots fit properly.

Heel Slippage is normal and does not mean the boots are not fitted properly. After the boots have been worn and the outsole flexed a few times, heel slippage should stop, giving you a comfortable wearing boot. 

As a rule you should order your regular shoe size. If you are not sure of your width, chances are wear a normal width. If a boot is available in a width you will be given the option to choose it. 

Men's Widths:

D or M is Men's Normal or Medium Width

E, EE or W is Men's Wide Width

EEE or EEEE is Men's Extra Wide Width

C or B is Men's Narrow Width
 

Women's Widths:

B or M is Women's Normal or Medium Width

C or W is Women's Wide Width

A is Women's Narrow WIdth

Proper Hat fit

The hat should fit slightly snug all around your head but not so that it hurts or "gives you a headache".

1. Measure around your head about 3/4 of an inch above ear where your hat will be worn.
(A cloth tape measure such as a seamstress or tailor uses is ideal.)
It is usually helpful to have someone help you.
2. Pull the tape tight to measure within 1/8".
3. Read off the number and use the chart below to determine your hat size.
