How do I know what size I have, and what size to order?

To measure your feet, it's best to do so in the evening. After walking and standing a whole day, your feet are at their largest.

To measure, place your bare feet on a piece of paper and draw the outline with a pencil. Then measure the distance in cm, with a ruler, from the outside of your heel to the top of your big toe. Next you can check what size will fit best in this converted dimensions sheet:

US-5 | size 35 | 22,8 cm
(sometimes also EU-size 34)

US-6 | size 36 | 23,5 cm

US-7 | size 37 | 24,1 cm

US-8 | size 38 | 24, 8 cm

US-9 | size 39 | 25,4 cm

US-10 | size 40 | 26 cm

US-11 | size 41 | 26,7 cm

US-12 | size 42/43 | 27,3 cm

US-13 | size 44 | 27,9 cm

US-14 | size 45 | 28,6 cm

US-15 | size 46 | 29,2 cm

US-16 | size 47/48  | 29,8 cm

US-17 | size 48/49 | 30,5 cm

You also need to take into account whether you will be wearing the shoes/boots with bare feet, socks, tights, stockings or anything else. We recommend you to rather go with a size slightly bigger than a size too small. If they are slightly too big you can always compensate for that with a pair of insoles or gel/foam pads. You can also use heel-grips to reduce the space between your heel and the back of the shoes/boots (while providing your ankles with more comfort!)

Also note: we already take into account whether certain styles tend to have a wider or smaller fit. If you order(ed) a different size than you normally would have: please let us know when placing your order (in the comment section in your shopping cart) or send us an e-mail stating your order number explaining what size you normally have. Otherwise it could be that we order shoes or boots two sizes too small or big.
If you are certain you want to order a specific US-size, select the size where the US-size you want is stated (so don't look at the EU-size) and to be extra sure; mention the desired US-size in the comments in your shopping cart.
If you don't select the desired US-size, we will send you the size we know from experience is corresponding with the EU-size stated.

If you want to know the Boot shaft circumference, shaft-length(height) and calf circumference you can use the Boot shaft circumference data sheet.

In this sheet you can find the shaft circumference, shaft-length(height) and calf circumference of all boot-types with size 37 (US-7) and the average increment (or decrement) per size.

General information

We import from America especially for you. The average delivery time is 1 to 1½ weeks (within the Netherlands) but this can also be more.

If items have already been purchased for you from America, we can charge the import / postage / import duty costs if the order is canceled before delivery, or if the order is returned after delivery.

Of course we prefer not to do this, but in order to cover the unnecessary costs incurred by us and to discourage many returns (think of the environment), this has unfortunately proved necessary.

This is, of course, not the case with an exchange for a different size if the size turns out to be incorrect.

You can read more about this in our Terms and Conditions and Refund Policy.
