Sizing Information

The overall fit/size of this new style seems “true” to their published size chart (see below), so if you are comfortable with a certain size from previous boots, then choose the same size. I’d consider the width of the men’s sizes to be normal to slightly wide (D or E).

The inner laces on this boot allow for very welcome adjustability of the fit of this style through the instep of the boot. I like it!
