Unsure of Boot Fit/Wrong Size Boots

We understand the importance of the fit of touring boots and we want to make sure all our customers get properly fitted boots. If you receive your boots and they do not fit well, please give us a call at 970-510-0450 or schedule a virtual appointment to speak with one of our expert boot fitters so we can help determine which boot and size will most likely fit the best. To help us get a better understanding of how the boots you purchased are fitting, please follow these steps to preform a shell fit:

1. Pull the liners out of the shell and slide your foot into the empty shell

2. Slide your foot forward so that your toes are just barely touching the front of the boot.

3. Reach your hand down in the boot behind your heel. There should be 1-2 fingers of room between heel and back of boot. Close to 1 finger is a performance fit. Smaller than 1 finger is too small. Spacing more like 2 fingers is a comfort fit and bigger than 2 fingers the boot is too big
