This was a super helpful video, especially when it comes to sizing. Some brands, like Ariat for example, offer printable sizing guides for their specific boots on their website that you print out and then step onto and it will let you know what size to order in their shoes. Finding that was immensely helpful when ordering boots from home, since sizing can definitely vary from brand to brand, it saved me having to make returns on the boots I ordered and I got a perfect fit first time out.
Actually I believe you should stand, when taking a measure, putting equal weight on each foot. Instruction #2 on their website state: "Have the customer remove their footwear and stand, placing their right heel into the right heel cup. The customer should stand with equal weight on both feet to ensure that the foot being measured has elongated and spread to its maximum size."
Great instruction video, and thank you for ALL you do.
Have a Merry Christmas!
"We are all fools when it comes down to it" LOL! I literally chuckled over that one. In the Navy, we used to say nothing was "sailor proof"... same principle...lol. Enjoy the videos and the facebook page.
haha it's true though! thanks for watching!
Good video! My last two years have been purchasing from Yeehaw and Tecovas!
Great tips! I did the trace and measure since I don’t have access to a Brannock device and find that I’m about an 8.5C. That fits in perfectly with what I wear for Ariat and Corral (8.5D). The Ariats are just a tiny bit wide and loose in the instep which makes sense with my measurements
Great tips here! Thanks Jeremiah!
A very well done informative presentation! 👍
I just saw this...awesome resource! I am new boot buyer...got a pair of Justin Ropers size 12ee...I wear a 12.5ee in most other shoes and boots and these Ropers fit great!
Excellent tip Mr Craig.
i was gonna buy my first pair of cowboy boots online (im from australia where theres not many places to buy cowboy boots) and the timing of this video was perfect! thanks mate good stuff!
That's awesome! I hope it works out for you! Cheers!
thank you for the video! im just getting into cowboy boots and your content is perfect for me
Awesome! I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching
If you don't have any carpet you can use a big thick towel to try on your new boots....Great video and lots of good info...Thanks!
Excellent detailed video 👍
Great advice here in the UK where it's hard to find any boot information. Keep strummin'
I thought I was the only guy who had his own Brannock device, lol! Awesome video and great information, thanks for sharing!
I would never buy boots, jeans, shirts, jackets or a hat on line. I have to try those things on for my fit. Heck, I’ve tried on jeans and even hats that were all marked the size but only one fits just right, especially boots.
I just ordered a pair of Rujo boots. I wasn't sure what size to order. I usually wear a 9 in dress shoes and often a 9.5 in sneakers but sometimes a 9. I ordered the boots in 9d hopefully that works out 😁. I'm going to use your tips when they arrive.
I don’t trust all the crazy sizing charts. Liberty Black has one that suggests you stand barefoot on a piece of paper and measure your foot - according to the calculations I made using their chart, I’m a 9.5 - which is two sizes bigger than I really am. I held my breath and just ordered my normal size and they fit fine...though for me, the right foot is always a little tighter. After some wear, they stretch and are eventually fine.
I don’t get why it would be better to measure while sitting. When you are standing, your feet must be a little bigger, particularly in width.
I've heard it both ways but I've heard to get measured while you're sitting more often. Maybe it's to ensure a snug enough fit. Not sure but you're right, it's always best to get measured by a pro and not rely on the charts some in foreign countries don't have that option though
I've got Lucchese, Ariat and Tony Lama boots. A 10EE fits great in all three brands.
Unfortunately there is not a cowboy boot stores around me. i live north of philadelphia. So im ready to order online some double H's.there factory is 2 hours west of me. Im a 10 1/2 D in woverine work boots so im going with that size.Plus i measured my foot.Thanks for all the info about cowboy boots,your a big help! Love your videos! Cheers!
Thank you Jeremiah. I like your videos and your recommendation on Yeehaw brand. My black cherry Caimans are absolutely beautiful. Maybe after recovery I can wear them.
Thanks Kent! Yes great choice on the black cherry caimans! Hope you can wear them soon
you're a cool entertaining guy thank you!
Very helpful thank you
Good things to know thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy! Hope it helps some folks!
Jeremiah, I posted the link in the group I administer - Cowboy Boots and Those Who Wear Them. It may be helpful to some of our members. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing James!!
Thank-you! Most helpful!
Cool! Thanks for watching
I bought myself a Brannock device and according to the device, I should be a size 7. However, I actually wear size 6 Justin and Chippewa boots. If I take size 6 1/2, I have to put an insole and wear a pair of thick socks. That said, I recently bought a pair of a size 7 Chisos boots and I am so glad I didn’t find it too big at all. I don’t even need an insole. As you can see, sizing is all over the place for different brands.
Great info love it
I appreciate it Micah!
Excellent video!!!!
Thanks Javier!
Interesting that you bring this one out the day that I order a pair of boots. By those measurements I'm an 11 D, but for some reason EU size 44 fits me best, which is US 10 according to the "official international shoe size conversion chart." But... I have a pair of dress shoes that say US11/EU44, lol. Speaking of boots, I bought a pair from Sendra this morning. I'll post some pictures in the boot group. Fingers crossed on the fit! Thanks for the video.
@@LoneWolf-qk9pl Thanks. Unfortunately I live in a village here in Italy, so no boot stores to go try on the boots.
A bit late here but yes! I'm 11.5AA in brannock. Hard to find boots and shoes. But I do find vintage and higher end brands like ABs and Rios make A widths.
You are a cowboy boot enthusiast, but you speak like an expert! I'll have to keep the Brannock device in mind. Thank you so much for the tips, Jeremiah!
I still have so much to learn! Talking with all the boot makers and those in the boot industry has been helping a lot recently too! I'm glad you're enjoying this content buddy!
Here's a good one also, put a shopping plastic bag on your foot (over the 🧦) before sliding in to the boot, goes on and off so easy til they break in. Wear them 1 hour each day for two weeks, if you don't want new blisters. Break them in slow!
True! I've tried this and it does totally work on tight boots. Not ideal if you have to do this but it's a good last resort
I was told this trick many years ago when I tried on my first pair of cowboy boots at a store in London. When I tried to put them on at first, I couldn’t get them on, and would have gone for a bigger size, but the guy at the store said no, put your foot in this plastic bag first. If they go on OK with the plastic bag and feel snug, they’ll be right. And they worked out perfectly. Sadly worn out now, but I lived in those boots for a long while.
excellent knowledge, thx Sir+++
Good boot talk.
The sizing thing was correct for me.
👍👍 Solid advice
Bought my first pair online just yesterday. Fortunately, the brand is identical to a pair I already own so sizing was easy. EDIT: Hmmm. My foot is exactly 11” long and 4.5” wide. Now have three pair of boots. The first, acquired at a thrift shop, fit perfectly with an insole. Those are J-toe DanPost 11EW. The second pair, also J-toe DanPost11EW, are in nearly new condition. They feel tighter - yet my toes scrunch in more, and my socks somehow get pulled down into the boot while I’m wearing it. They need a break-in period. Then I just acquired a pair of RudyLara round toe 11EE… and my feet are swimming in them! They are beautiful red caiman, so I’m going to get a leather insole and see how that works. I might need a leather/cork insole, with a cushioned insole over that. The heel and toe areas actually feel good on these, it’s the instep that’s loose.
Can you sona review of El dorado brand in the future. Always been curious. Thanks
Young man you are the reason that I have two pairs of boots. Tecovas and Cueros love them both but your chart I should be wearing a 9 1/2 . would not be able to get my feet thur the shift I'm wearing a 11 D or EE depends on the cut of the toe
thank for everything really enjoy your videos. And my wife likes that I'm looking for more boots. Day and night LOL
Sweet! that's awesome! thanks so much. As long as you know what size you like best, that's all that matters! Keep looking at those boots. Cheers!
Thanks for this video, following this and your ebay video I was able to "snake" some Python Justin's for $97 with free shipping in my actual size.
i've seen your photo in ranch road letter on my email, so cool 👍👍👍
Cool! I didn't even know they did until you commented! Happy they used it!
Thanks mate
Excellent. Thanks Jeremiah.
Thanks buddy!
Nice chart with draw foot
See I love cowboy boots cause they are the few shoes you can regularly find wide widths. I’m a 9ee or a 8.5eee. My issue is I have tall bridges and makes getting my foot into a boot really difficult to try any on, then have to break in extensively to get that top part stretched to fit my foot easier
Jeremiah one thing I'd perhaps like you to speak more about is the vamp or instep area of the boot. I am a 13.5D on a Brannock device so you'd think that I'd go the next size up to a 14D but if I do the instep or vamp is so tight across the top of my foot that either its extremely uncomfortable to break in or I have to go to the boot store and have that area stretched but if I order a 14E or Double E then I have no issues. I feel like the width of the boot also ties into the vamp or instep area too. This isn't just the case with one brand but all brands I've tried including Dan Post, Cavenders Old Gringo, Double H, Nocona etc.
The arch length will give you a better fit than the foot length.
I have EE and they fit pretty good
I’m happy with the width but I think I got a half size to big when I bought my new Ariat workhog’s,so that’s unfortunate cus they store isn’t gonna let me trade them in for a different size lol
I’ve done that my whole life. Heel slips so I size down. Then it’s weeks of hell trying to get those boots to fit.
Nice video. Very helpful =) What boots are those? (Black boots). Do you have any review about them?
They are shrunken shoulder bullhide Noconas! I talk about them in this video: ruclips.net/video/w6YINbsjc3o/видео.html
I have a question. How snug on the instep is too snug for a used older boot? Thanks.
I have shorter width than most but the width doesn’t really combine with the length so I always have trouble looking for regular shoes/boots and now I’m figuring out what size I should use with Justin boots the width of 9.5 D is perfect but too short to wear comfortably so I think I’m a 10 D or 10 B I live in Denmark so it’s a pain to keep buying boots from America
Some people mock me for having a size 11D can't imagined having a 12B shoe size is like 😮
Should I only size up or down if my proper width isn’t available in my size? I measured out to be 11E(based on most charts). I’m trying to order a pair of Justin boots online and I can’t decide whether I should go with a 10.5EE, 11D, or 11EE. It seems like those are the only width sizes available from this brand... Very helpful video btw!
Thanks you
Thank you so much.
Especially for a french guy who lives in France and can only order on line.
My pleasure! Good luck!
I fit Dan Post just fine but Tony Lamas never fit, I want Lamas but they hit me wrong in the arch...so even in the same size I dont find all boots fit equal, do you? Ferrini what Im looking at
I know I’m an 8.5D in Justins, and 9D in Ariats.
I’m a size 8d according to Brannock device I’m trying to fit my double h Dylan boots and the 8ee is too tight around toes and the 8 1/2 D is better around the toes but loose instep. So idk what to do I must not be an 8D in this peticular boot shopping online sucks
Hey Jeremiah, thank for this vid.. so if im 10 1/2 EE or EEE (4.5 inch width) what other size can i look for? considering i want a round toe. THANK YOU
I wear a square toe Ariat boot which is size 9.5, what size round toe should I buy?
Great info, but my foot length is around 9.5 inches..that means i would wear a size 6.5. i cant fathom fitting into something that small. I wear a 8.5 in tie shoes..size 8 in slip on/boots. Width about 3.5 so between B and C widths. This is some good info though.
Wow yes this is why it's always better to go to stores and try stuff on! Thanks for sharing Rick!
Hey, just bought my first pair of (cowboy boots) there Durango's, I was wondering if thats a good brand or not, wanted to get something cheaper for my first pair to see if I like the style and the comfortability before I buy a more expensive pair, I paid 126 for them let me know what you think please
Ok so if I am kicking my leg and the boot starts to come off after like 7 or 8 kicks do I need to go down?. I have been back 4 times and they all fit so differently. I am trying double h and the right is tighter but the left is loose. I tried on another pair the left was tight the right was loose ha. So should I go down to a 9wide. I'm wearing a 9 1/2d at the moment. I have wore them a week inside and they are loosing up. My right is 10 1/16 or a little over and 4 3/8 wide. Left is 10 1/8 maybe a little over and 4 1/2 wide. It's very hard wearing something inside and not being able to do a full day without messing the bottom up. Tha k you again for all of your help.
Good video
Cheers! I appreciate it
What page displays the sizes please
I bought a pair of Justins work boots, size 8, D width practically on a whim and found they were too big, but the width is fine. Finally got around to measuring my feet and my true size is 6.5, EE-EEE width, so I'm confused as to how my wide feet are fitting comfortable width-wise in boots that should theoretically be ~1/5 inch too narrow. I even put in an extra insole and wear thick socks to get a better fit and the width fits great.
That’s a good question. I have the same issue.
What's your opinion about the gator or ostrich "print" boots?
They aren't for me but if someone else likes them I'm cool with it!
The curse of being a B width is that you are severely limited in choice of style since most boot makers don't make that size at all, and if they do, they are usually the more expensive boots. I'm a size 10B, and I learned not to settle for a 10D or you will get blisters around the heel of your foot as the boots slop up and down as you walk.
I'm a size AA or A lol.
Hey Jeremiah! Just wanna say I really enjoy your vids! I'm new to the cowboy boot game and this is what I've learned. Let me know if this sounds about right. My normal shoe size is 10. And I have wide feet. EEE. I got a pair of Boulet's online and sized up to take into account the J toe shape.( Ordered an 11 EEE) Should I always size up by a half or a full size to account for the fact the toe region of the boot will be restricted due to the shape of the toe (ie snip toe or J toe etc...). I also ordered a pair of Ropers at a size 10 because the toe shape is a medium toe and less restrictive. Does this sound right? Thanks for taking the time to read this and keep up the great work!
Depends on the brand whether you should change sizes. Boulets run big and they say it's a good idea to order a half size smaller than some other brands
@@JeremiahCraig Thanks dude! But as a general rule toes get a bit more restricted with certain toe types right? My Boulets fit great but wouldn't want to size down because of the toe area. As it is my big toe sits about an inch from the front of the tip of the boot.
what kinda of boots are the ones you have sitting next to you? i like those alot
Ranch Road walkers. Here's the video - ruclips.net/video/_wuWK8C3bXk/видео.html
My left foot is 10.5e. My right foot is 10ee. It was confirmed my feet length are asymmetrical. So 10.5ee should be my shoe size.
I got into this company called enzo romeo with cowboy style like boots and there pretty well made quality should i buy more from them or change?
I don't know much about them. I'll get them on my list!
just goto chisos ...done!
Dude yes! You gotta email me from the Chisos live stream. I got stuff to send you! jeremiah.craig@jeremiahcraig.com
Why is it so hard for boot/shoe companies to get sizes universal? A 10 EE Lucchese should fit the same as a 10EE Ariat or any other brand.
Im about to buy a pair of boots from Aliexpress, just for some american car meets. Whats your advice for me?
I'd say don't buy from that website. All their boots are awful
😂great guy
I was trying to go to your website to check out the chart, but your website is down
It seems to be working when I try. Give it another shot!
In your opinion, if you had an E width foot. Would you go down to a D or up to an EE
I would try a D width but size up a half size from what your E width size is. It always depends on the brand but going narrower and longer in size is better than wider in my experience
@@JeremiahCraig I appreciate it. I enjoy your videos, especially your comparison videos. I hope one day for a Tecovas vs Rujo video like you did with Cureo. Until then, I'll keep smashing the like button 👍🏾. Keep up the good work
Im just guessing it is cheaper to make square toes, anyone know?
They fit more people easily which means less returns and less people complaining about toes pinching. It's definitely more economical to just make wide square toe boots
I can cowboy boots
I have a question please I did my at home measurements an I'm 9 1/2 C narrow cowboy boot but I'm having trubal finding the boot that I like the looks of with the C narrow foot do you think 9 1/2 wide from Amazon would be too wide or should I settle
A wide width boot (probably EE) will be too wide for your C width. You might be better trying the average D width at your regular size or sizing down a half size with a 9D. Try both and see which you like better
Aren't you supposed to measure your foot while standing?
Yeah but unless you buy personalized boots they only sell D through EEE
Something is wrong with your chart. My foot is 12 1/2 inches long and 4 1/2 wide. According to your chart that makes me a size 15, D width. I wear a 12 D boot all day long! Either your chart is off or I have really weird feet! 🤔
you can wear a 12 D and be a different true size. I'm a 12B and can wear 10.5D boots. If you think that's crazy watch this video - ruclips.net/video/pNgTB-ACbNU/видео.html
@@JeremiahCraig that is crazy! Wow a size 14 fit you! I'm frustrated because the boots I love are no longer made! I have nocona boots and absolutely love them but sadly they are not made the same anymore! They use rubber soles and synthetic materials in them now. I've been lucky over the years being able to find nocona old new stock. But I've had zero luck recently! Seems my only options as I want 100% leather ,a riding heel and leather soles with lemon pegs and nails is Rujo,Chisos,Cuero and Tecovas. And most of these if not all have synthetic padding in the insoles. My issue with padding is they typically make my feet sweat! I don't understand why boot makers think we need padding? A proper fitting boot doesn't need them and because it's all leather it absorbs the moisture instead of causing it! Then there is the issue of ordering online as I really don't want to have to wait and go thru the process of returning if they don't fit right! Sigh......just so frustrating! Make matters worse I live in south Carolina and there are zero custom hand made boots makers here. Boot stores here are a joke because they only want to carry a majority of square toe boots and very little selection of round toe all leather boots and the one they do have are very expensive! I'm leaning towards getting a pair of Cuero's Eastwood boots in vintage tobacco. My wife says I need to stop it with all black boots as she says they are ,"so eighties"! Lol! She says she wants me to get a brown boot and the vintage tobacco just does it for her! Lol! I guess I'll try them out. I'm old and set in my ways but what the hell! Lol! Thanks for the videos!!
Step on a tape measure
cmon man wear some longer pants
Longer pants in this style looks sloppy on me but thanks for looking out
He's sitting down, there called boot cut 🤣🤣
