Fitting & Size Guide
Our fitting & Size guide should help you to get a practical and comfortable fit on all our products.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The nature of outdoor clothing and equipment means that getting the correct fit often goes beyond simply finding your usual clothing or footwear size. Brands will vary in fit but also particular items will have a different recommended fit for maximum performance - some items should be tighter for correct usage, other items larger (hiking footwear for example).
If you are in any doubt, please Contact Us for product advice.
Fitting & Size Guides:
General Footwear Guide
- Walking boots will need to be a half to full size LARGER than your normal foot size to allow for the wearing of walking socks.
- The actual fitting shape of the boot is brand dependent - different brands will hold your feet differently.
- Allow for a finger's width fitting down back of a walking boot when wearing but before lacing up.
- The boot shouldn't have any noticable pressure points or tight spots - there is no such thing as 'breaking in' a boot to loosen it up.
- The ankle should feel restricted and supported in a way you are not used to at first.
- Walking boots will always feel stiffer to wear.
- Zamberlan & Scarpa brands have an overall narrower fitting.
- Merrell in general tend to be shorter, so for normal fitting, get a size larger.
- The Meindl Matrei is our widest boot - perfect for anyone who requires a wide fitting.
- Shoe-style footwear and sandals have a regular fit and size.

Icebreaker
Measurements refer to body size, not garment dimensions, and are in centimetres.
In cases when your body measurements are midway between two sizes, go to the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit.
- If your body measurements for Chest and Height are in two different suggested sizes, we recommend going with the size from your Chest measurement.
- If your body measurements for Waist, Low Hip and Outside Leg are in different suggested sizes, we recommend going with the size from your Low Hip measurement.
- If your body measurements for Seat, Waist and Outside Leg are in different suggested sizes, we recommend going with the size from your Seat measurement.
- In instances when your body measurements for Bust and Height are in two different suggested sizes, we recommend going with the size from your Bust measurement.
How to measure:
Chest: Place tape measure across the back, underneath the arms and then across the fullest part of the chest.
Height: This is your true height, without the assistance of shoes.
Waist: Measure the smallest part of the torso.
Hip: Place the measuring tape around the body at the fullest part of the lower hip, feet together.
Bust: Place tape measure across the back, underneath the arms and then across the widest point on the bust. Don't "squish" yourself.
