Sizes we carry
Boots on this store are listed in US men's sizes from 6 to 15, including half sizes, in widths B, D, EE and 2E. Not every size and width exists in every style — the sizes a particular boot comes in are the ones shown on its own page.
How to measure
| Measurement | Why it matters | How to measure |
|---|---|---|
| Foot length | Sets your base size | Stand on a sheet of paper against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe, and measure from the wall to the mark. |
| Foot width | Chooses B, D, EE or 2E | Wrap a tape around the widest part of your foot, across the ball, with your weight on it. |
| Instep | Decides whether a pull-on will go on | Wrap the tape diagonally over the top of the arch and around the heel, at the highest point of the foot. |
| Calf | Matters on 11 to 13 inch shafts | Measure around the fullest part of the calf, over the trousers you would wear with the boots. |
| Sock thickness | Changes the size you need | Measure and try on wearing the socks you actually work in, not thin ones. |
How a boot should fit
A pull-on boot should take one firm pull to clear the instep and then hold your heel.
Some heel lift on the first few steps is normal and disappears as the sole flexes; a lot of heel lift never improves. The ball of your foot should sit at the widest part of the sole, and your toes should not touch the front when you stand. A safety toe never stretches, so if the cap presses on the first fitting it will press for the life of the boot.
If you are between sizes
Try boots on late in the day, when your feet have spread as far as they are going to.
In a square toe, most people take their normal size; in a narrow or pointed shape, the extra room is at the front rather than at the ball, so the width is what to adjust. If you are unsure, email support@missionwesternwear.com with your measurements and the boot you are looking at, and we will tell you what we would send.
