Blundstone Boot Fitting

How should my Blundstone boots fit?

Length is primary consideration when fitting Blundstone boots. Walk around in the boots and get a sense of whether your front most toe is touching the front of the boots.  If they are consistently touching the front of the boots, then the boots are too small. A thumb width (or minimum of ½ an inch) of space between the end of the customer’s foot and the end of the boot is recommended for a good fit.

Width can be focused on now that you have determined the length of the boot. Blundstone boots are commonly referred to as ‘outdoor slippers’, referring to the ease of putting on and taking off these boots.  Blundstone boots typically have a loose fit and a centimeter or two of heel lift is very common with Blundstone boots. If you still find that they fit too generously, the insoles provided in the box are helpful for snugging up the fit.  It may also be common for you to feel pressure across the instep of the boot where the ‘v-stitching’ comes across the instep.  This pressure will often dissipate with regular wear after a two to three week period, once the leather begins to stretch.

* Chisel toes are a bit of a longer fit than other Blundstone styles. In our experience, some people go down a size in this style to accommodate for the longer fit. 

 * Please note that half sizes in Blundstones are a bit unusual—they do not increase the length of the boot. Instead, they increase the amount of space over the foot by adding more leather creating a wider fit.  

 * Use that extra pair of insoles in the box if you find there is too much movement in your Blundstones. Doubling up on the insoles can take up about ½ a size worth of space!  

R.M.Williams Fitting

A correct R.M.Williams fit will be snug across the instep and through the ball of the foot, however no pressure should be felt within the toe cap area as that part of the boot will not change with wear. The widest part of the foot will sit in line with the widest part of the boot. The back of the boot will slightly cup the heel and some heel lift may occur while walking. R.M.Williams leather will not stretch, but will ease and mold with wear to accommodate the unique shape of your foot.

UGG Australia

When purchasing an UGG Boot, it is important to consider that the soft wool lining in most styles is prone to packing down quite quickly.  In the case of styles with a Sheepskin (suede) upper, the boots may gain half a size overall within the first two weeks of wear due to the combination of inner packing and the sheepskin outer stretching; in styles that have a leather or knit upper, the boots will also become looser within a short period of time. 

It is therefore recommended that you purchase your UGG Boots in as snug a fit as possible. It is not unusual for customers to purchase half a size to a full size smaller than they would normally wear in a North American shoe. For example, if you would normally wear a size 6 ½ or 7 shoe, it is recommended that you purchase your UGG Boots in a size 6.
