Frequently asked questions
Size and fit
WHAT SIZE SHOULD I ORDER?
Our boots are designed to fit standard Mexican and US shoe sizes. The best sizing advice is to simply order what you normally order! When in doubt, order your size in dress shoe size (men's) or heels (women's).
If at first they fit tight but comfortable, keep in mind that the leather will stretch and shape to your foot with use.

HOW DO YOUR BOOTS FIT COMPARED TO OTHER BRANDS?
We have had varied experiences with other brands of boots and shoes, but the safest way to choose your size is to order the size you order most frequently with other brands.
HOW CAN I KNOW IF THE BOOTS FIT ME WELL?
The boots should fit comfortably once you put them on for the first time (it's normal that it takes a little effort when you slide your foot in). If they are uncomfortably tight, you may want to size up, but if they are only a little snug, they will need to stretch with wear or use.
It's normal for there to be a slight lift in your heel when you first walk in the boots, but excessive heel slippage is probably a sign that you should size down.
I HAVE A HIGH INSTEP. WILL YOUR BOOTS WORK FOR ME?
Our boots are not specifically designed to work with high insteps, however we recommend going up to a half size or one size if your foot is also wide.
I HAVE WIDE FEET. ARE THERE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ME?
For width, we only handle the standard or regular wide measurement, we do not handle special wider measurements, however if you have wide feet we recommend ordering your regular size with half a size up. (For example, if your regular size is 9, order in 9.5). Normally the half size is made for wide feet.
I HAVE NARROW FEET. DO YOU HAVE SPECIAL BOOTS FOR ME?
We currently do not have special boots for narrow feet, but we have many customers with narrow feet who are very happy with the fit of their boots. We recommend ordering whole sizes.
DO YOU OFFER NON-MATCHING SIZES FOR THE SAME PAIR?
We do not offer identical sizes in our boots (we only sell them in matching pairs). However, if you have two different sized feet, we recommend that you order for the larger size and use an insert to accommodate the smaller foot.
DO YOU HAVE A SIZE CONVERSION CHART?
Yes, however please note that the shoe conversion table is intended for use as a general guide. Size and fit may vary slightly by brand. Table Conversion
