How to Find Your Perfect Boot Size: A Complete Sizing Guide
Handmade boots fit differently than off-the-shelf footwear. Here's exactly how to measure and pick your size.
Three Things Drive Boot Fit
- Length (heel to longest toe)
- Width (across the ball)
- Volume (instep arch)
How to Measure (5 minutes)
- Stand on paper, full weight on one foot.
- Trace your foot, pencil perpendicular.
- Measure heel to longest toe in inches.
- Repeat for both feet — they're often different.
Use the larger measurement.

The Break-In
Handmade boots conform to your foot over 2-4 weeks. Should feel snug but not tight on day one. Slight heel slip is normal — it disappears as leather molds.
