Sizing and Fitting: Getting the Perfect Fit

Blundstone Boot Fitting

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

Now, for Width. 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 common. If you still find that are too generous, the footbeds provided free of charge are helpful for snugging up the fit. You might also feel pressure across the instep of the boot where the ‘v-stitching’ comes across the instep. This pressure will often dissipate once the leather begins to stretch, usually within a two to three week period.

 

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 or EMU 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.
