Sizing - Footwear
How To Measure
Note: There are variations in manufacturers sizing units, please see our detailed footwear sizing page to ensure you get the correct fitting shoe.
Sitting comfortably on a chair, place your bare foot on a blank piece of paper so that your foot fits entirely on the paper. With a sharp pencil or fine ballpoint pen draw around your foot. Make sure you keep the pen/pencil vertical and perpendicular to the paper.
Use a ruler or tape measure to measure in a straight line from the end of the heel to the longest point on the toes. Use the size guide above to determine your size.
We strongly suggest you measure BOTH feet as it is very common to have one foot larger than the other. In this case, you MUST fit your larger foot. The extra room in the shoe of your smaller foot can be managed by placing a thin innersole under the manufacturer’s innersole.
If you usually wear thick socks with your boots/shoes, you may like to measure your feet in the socks you will be wearing. Thick socks can add ½-1 full size to your usual size,
Some people require a wider or narrower shoe, this is outlined below and is available with certain brands.
All manufactures on this website use UK / Australian Sizing unless specified below.
As not all shoes are the same we have put together a list of manufactures and any notes which are related to the sizing of their shoes for you.
