Thread: Correctly fitting boots

Your comment re. 20mm in the toe suggests you may be looking at it the wrong way around. That sounds like an awful lot - personally I wouldn’t want more than 10mm. Reason being if you have the space it’s hard to stop your feet moving inside the boots, you may better to restrict this in the first place.

For this reason I favour a closer-fitting boots with thinner socks over needing thick socks to fill them.

Like @No.3 says, most euro boots are too narrow for kiwi feet, so to get something that fits we end up going half a size up (and therefore too long). That will be exacerbated if you use orthotics.

Too late now, but next time you’re buying boots I’d be looking for something that gives you the space you need through the centre without adding a whole lot of length.
