So, you fancy a new pair of boots, the one’s you like involve an online purchase so trying them on before you buy isn’t an easy option. Hmm, sounds familiar.
Intro
This is a predicament I myself have been in many a time and communicate with our customers about on a daily basis. I always get into as much detail as needed/ required with customers about sizing and, have very high success rates the first time around, but we thought it was about time we had a fairly in depth resource in one easily accessible place for our customers and inquisitors to get a bit more insight on the sizing and fit of the brands we stock in comparison to each other and, others that we don’t, but have experience of.
To best illustrate comparisons I will tell you what I would/ do wear in a number of brands which has come from personal experience either currently or in the last few years.
Size & Last comparisons
I am what you would maybe class as a standard UK 8 as measured on the brannock device for UK sizing. I have fairly standard width feet that are maybe a tad on the wider side but can generally find comfort in a lot of brands standard widths (US D for most). I also have fairly high arches (no ballerina though). All sizes listed are the manufacturers sizing as shown on the box. Here is what I would or do wear and how they feel by brand:
Other brands for comparion
- Alden: Indy Boot: 8.5US, Barrie last: 8D (felt a bit tight in width).

John Lofgren:

Engineers: 8
Please see our guide to the John Lofgren Engineers here for more info on sizing. Curvy shape and a rounded toe. Marked as a D width but most would say slightly wider throughout the foot and the heel but once your foot is in (see the guide) and the straps are pulled tight they are very comfortable, more so after a few weeks of solid wear.
