Just the helpful advice I needed today. Thank you
Dave, thanks! The parts about volume helped a lot!
Thank you very much! I watched this video a few years ago and I thought I remembered all the guidance... nope! Thanks for keeping this video on TH-cam, it's been a great help once more. Looking forward to buying some more gear from Trekitt.
Good advice never goes out of fashion, thanks for watching and for your loyal custom. Paul.
Very interesting and informative,thank you.
Thanks great advice & video. No wonder many of us end up with a cupboard full of boots.😉
Detailed video with great amount of tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Cheers for this, great info.

Great stuff. Cheers
You're welcome 👍
I wish boot manufacturers would cater for the civilian market like they do for the military with small, medium and large width sizes, would make it so much easier to get the perfect fit.
There are a number of options out there in the consumer market with different width fitting options, our best advice would be to head to your local specialist outdoor retailer and going through a boot fitting, they should be able to help you find the right boot for your needs.
Very useful. The size guide is a bit on the small side particularly for Salomon boots. My feet measure 28 cms but need an 11.5 UK.
Glad it was helpful!
Gino Geraci knows his shit when it comes to shoe fitting.
I am having great difficulty with boot fitting. This video has helped but still I am without the right pair :(
If you're near us, we'd always recommend visiting for a professional boot fit if you're struggling. We know how hard it can be ordering online! Kind regards, Harry.
Hi all very informative videos,thanks,but when im out walking the soles of my feet seem to go numb after about 7k? But very comfortable apart from that?? (Brasher hill master) thanks
Hi, thanks for your comments and for watching. Without seeing your feet and your boots, my first thoughts are that the boots may be too flexible around the foots natural "flex point" causing too much stress on the ball of your foot. It would be worth considering a more supportive boot in future, or ideally, come to our Hereford Service Centre for a Pro boot fit! Paul.
@@trekitt thanks for the reply,who would have thought it would be so complicated 🤣
It sucks having wide feet. Trying to find boots that are wide enough, but not too long is such a pain for me. That's with the typical wide sizes manufacturers sell.
Hi, thanks for watching. Have you tried the Meindl comfort Fit range of boots? We've found that they fit some very wide feet - www.trekitt.co.uk/facetresults.aspx?Term=comfort%20fit
That’s all well and good but in my experience there is always a trade off. I have never found a boot that fits that well especially now I am older. You end up giving up on boots altogether. Trainers all the way now. Not perfect but they generally easier overall.
Hi Graham. Trainers are certainly comfy but not always suitable for more rugged terrain. You should make an appointment at our Service Centre for a boot fit and I’m sure we’ll be able to get you a comfy and safe pair of boots. Paul.
I'm about to get my first pair of hiking boots and am confused about something related to sizing. Some people advise getting hiking boots that fit on the snug side when they're new because they say the boots will stretch, while other people advise the opposite and advise getting hiking boots that fit on the looser side because feet will swell with heat and use. As a novice without experience this leaves me perplexed since both sides seem knowledgeable even while they're suggesting opposite things. Which is it?
Neither I'm afraid. The fit of a pair of boots is so specific to your foot and having a rule for sizing up or sizing down won't work across all brands and models. I would highly recommend visiting us or your local specialist boot fitter to have your feet measured and the correct boots selected for you. This also means you'll be able to try on multiple sizes, models and designs. Or, if you can't visit us in person, I'd give our customer service team a ring (01432 263335) or email (support@trekitt.co.uk) and they'll be able to walk you through the process. Harry
@@trekitt Thank you!
Should you wear your walking socks when measuring your foot?
Yup.
Hi, a query regarding correct shoe/boot size. I had my feet measured using the Brannock device , allegedly I'm a UK10. I found this odd as all of my footwear is a size 9, I bought some Meindl Bhutan GTXs in a 9 as my feet were lost in a size 10 and moved in all directions and the heel literally fell out of the boot. The 9s fit perfect with no slippage nor any toe stubbing and when the boots are on and I press my big toe upwards I can see where its sitting in the boot leaving a full thumb width of room. Could my Meindls be an odd size or is the Brannock wrong in some way?
It could have been that the majority of your weight was on your one foot, leading it to read larger, or that the boot and brannock just didn't line up. Footwear is a funny one as there's not one standardised length that relates to a size 9, for example. This is why it's so important to try stuff on! Harry
Conversion chart link no working can you please fix. Thanks
All fixed. The link will take you to our blog; simply scroll down about half way and the table will be there.
@@trekitt Thanks for fixing the link
I am US 8,5 brannock. UK 8, european 42. For NIKES UK 9. What size do I need for these?
For the AKU Pilgrim's we generally recommend opting for your usual size, so if you're usually a UK 8, start there. If you're not able to visit us in person, I'd recommend ordering a few sizes and sending back the pair(s) that don't fit.
@@trekitt Thank you for your very fast answer! And what about Meindl Burma or Bhutan?
@@achillesdanieladam9486 It's hard to give a definitive answer as everyone's feet are different, but from my personal experience, I fit both the Pilgrim and Bhutan in a UK 10.5 which is my usual size.
@@trekitt That is really nice to know! Thank you
Darn tough socks
Correct!
So what if your big toe is not the longest but the second is (eg a Greek toe)? It seems that 10% of all people have that.
Hi Pieter,
Very true, in this case you would measure to the tip of your longest toe. We will be re shooting this video very soon and will make sure we include information such as this.
All the best,
Will
