Boot Fitting

The Foot, the Sock and the Boot are a System

The sign of a good store is its ability to fit footwear correctly!
We all know that the outdoors is a much more pleasant place with comfortable feet.

Here are a few tips to obtain the best fit:

1. Try the boots on at the end of your working day as your feet could have increased by up to half a size due to vigorous activity.

2. Always wear your chosen socks when trying on footwear.

3. Please remember that LOWA boots are available in half sizes.

4. Fit the larger foot first but leave it unlaced. Push your foot as far forward in the boot as possible; you are now looking for a gap of approx 10mm in the space now left behind the heel.

5. Put the other boot on and lace them both up with your heel well back into the heel counters. They should feel snug around the ball and instep of your feet without having to lace them too tightly.

6. Walk up and down and experience slight heel lift only, and minimum foot slippage. You should not feel the front of the boot at all, even when trying to push your foot forward inside the boot.

7. Boots may become a little wider in time (but do not rely on this when purchasing).

8. All boots, however comfy they feel from new, need a little time to soften up.

Enjoy your LOWA boots.
