Sizing Information

FirstGear sells these boots in US sizes. In trying them on, we found the boots to run about one size small in the larger sizes and about a half size small in the smaller size range. We therefore recommend that you use our chart to make a selection (see below).

For each boot size, there is a European size printed in each boot also. The European sizes listed seem to be a good estimate of fit, so if you know your Euro size in most boots, then use our chart to select the “FirstGear Boot Size” based on your usual Euro size.

Why is this sorta messed up? Well, I asked FirstGear, but didn’t get a response. My personal guess is that FirstGear bought these boots from a manufacturer that was used to making boots in European sizes, but then FirstGear decided to sell them in US shoe sizes, and unfortunately they messed up the Euro to US conversion. In any case, just choose by the sizing advice we give and you should be fine.

The width of these boots tends toward roomy. Some brands like Sidi and Tour Master are more narrow, perhaps a C or D width, and I’d estimate the width of these FirstGear boots as slightly more wide, say D or E. Other brands that run wider like these FirstGear boots are TCX and Alpinestars.

Our Two Cents

A lot of people like a hiker-style boot for riding, and this one is specifically built for those people and for hot weather use. The Mesh Lo boot is a combination of leather and mesh which will allow a lot of air flow. The height of the boot covers the ankle bones (a minimum design feature in my opinion for a protective style), and to provide some impact protection there are integral plastic impact pieces fitted on either side of the ankle. You can see where those are secured by stitching in the close up pictures (the circle on either side). The heel area and toe box is reinforced. There is a layer of rubber-like material over the toe to firm up the boot where you shift (and to protect the boot from wear). The sole is a typical firm rubber design. A lace boot like this gives a lot of adjustability for fit and the laces are kept in check with the loop eyelets and the little Velcro-close strap over the upper end. Very nice. The price on these boots is very attractive and the quality seems good, so I think you will enjoy owning a pair. :: Paul, 02-19-13

My only other experience with a size 44 is the cortech calf length shoes that i have since a few years. Those fit me well too and they kinda seem to run on the smaller side i feel. These shoes accommodate my feet very well since i have a very wide foot size and my right leg is slightly larger than the left leg. (Read more...)

Great fit and super comfortable. They are less bulky than my previous pair so they will look close enough to normal footwear when walking around after a ride which is exactly why I chose these.
