Find your fit (calf matcher test)
Boot fit guide
Find your fit
Getting the right fit is simple. All you need is your foot length and foot width. If you're choosing a pair of long boots, you'll also need your calf measurement. Follow the guide below and we'll take you through each step, making it easy to find your perfect fit.

Your usual shoe size is a useful starting point, but the most accurate way to find the right fit is to measure the insole of a pair of footwear you already find comfortable. You can then compare this measurement with the sizing information for the boots you're interested in to ensure the best possible fit.
- Pick a good pair. Boots or shoes that feel right with the socks you'd normally wear. Slip the insole out if it lifts.
- Measure heel to toe. Along the insole, from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe. Keep it straight, in centimetres.
- Match the size chart. Open the size chart on the boot you want and find your length or get in touch so we can help you.
Go by the longer foot, and read the fit notes on the product. Soft leathers ease a little with wear, but a boot that's too short may never get comfortable.
Which width feels like you?
No tape measure needed. Just think about how the front of your foot usually feels in shoes, then start with the matching boots.
Two more measurements for long boots
Only if you're buying long riding boots, long country boots or half chaps. Shopping ankle boots? You can happily skip this bit.
- Wear the socks or legwear you'd normally ride or work in, and sit with your knee bent.
- Calf width: measure right around the widest part of your calf.
- Boot height: measure from the floor to the crease behind your knee.
- Measure both legs and go by the wider calf. Then check both numbers against the product size chart.

Which long boots fit my calf?
Buying long boots? Tell us your size and roughly how big your calf is, and we'll point you to the styles that should fit — based on the size guides for every long boot we make.
1Your usual size (UK)
2Your calf, measured round the widest part
Wrap a tape measure round the widest part of your calf and round to the nearest half a centimetre.
One last thing: fit changes a little with each style, leather and lining. Every product page has its own size chart, just above the size buttons — that's always the one to go by for the boot you're buying.
