Sizing - Footwear

How To Measure

Note: There are variations in manufacturers sizing units, please see our  detailed footwear sizing page  to ensure you get the correct fitting shoe.

Sitting comfortably on a chair, place your bare foot on a blank piece of paper so that your foot fits entirely on the paper. With a sharp pencil or fine ballpoint pen draw around your foot. Make sure you keep the pen/pencil vertical and perpendicular to the paper.

Use a ruler or tape measure to measure in a straight line from the end of the heel to the longest point on the toes. Use the size guide above to determine your size.

We strongly suggest you measure BOTH feet as it is very common to have one foot larger than the other. In this case, you MUST fit your larger foot. The extra room in the shoe of your smaller foot can be managed by placing a thin innersole under the manufacturer’s innersole.

If you usually wear thick socks with your boots/shoes, you may like to measure your feet in the socks you will be wearing. Thick socks can add ½-1 full size to your usual size.

Need a bit more width or height in your Rossi boot? 

The Rossi- Boots Extra Fit range provides the perfect solution for wide fitting feet, high arches, and extra toe room. Elastic sided boots in this range do not feature a 'Throat-piece', this is the 'v-stitch' at the top of the boot which pulls the leather snug across the top of the foot.
