Whether you're an online shopping expert or looking to make your first purchase, doubts always arise: What will be my correct size? Will the boot width be right for my foot type? Or what type of boot will be right for my foot?
Boots come in various widths to accommodate the diverse shapes of feet. What are the foot width sizes?
You may be familiar with the standard widths:
- B (extra narrow)
- C (narrow)
- D (regular)
- E (width)
- EE (extra wide)
- EEE (triple wide)
The three most popular boot widths are B, D, and E. However, understanding what these letters mean in practical terms is something entirely new, but crucial for finding that perfect fit.

Measuring your feet is a crucial first step to ensure your boots fit like a glove. But it's not just about length; width plays an equally important role. Here's why:
Length: The length of your foot determines your boot size. However, don't assume your boot size is the same as your regular shoe size; it can vary between different brands and types of boots.
Width: Width is often overlooked but is equally important for comfort. If your feet are wider than average, opting for wider sizes is a smart choice. A boot that's too narrow can cause discomfort, especially if you plan on wearing thicker socks.
Are you wondering, "How do I know if I need a wide boot?"? By measuring the width of your foot following the guidelines below and comparing it to the boot width chart!
Different Types of Foot Shapes
Feet come in all shapes, sizes, and widths, and understanding your own foot shape is essential for finding the right boot size. Whether you have high arches, flat feet, a larger foot, or something in between, don't settle: there's a boot out there to fit your unique needs.
Cowboy Boots
Cowboy boots are iconic and stylish, but they come with their own sizing rules. Generally, cowboy boots should fit snugly around the ball of your foot and instep while allowing a little heel movement for comfort.
Pull-on boots
These types of boots cover from above the ankle to the calf. You can find Roper and Rodeo boots in this section. They require a precise fit since they don't have laces or anything to adjust the width. Be prepared to try on different sizes to find the right boot for your foot shape. Keep in mind that these boots may run slightly larger than your regular shoe size.
Chelsea boots, ankle boots and laces
For standard boots with laces or zippers, follow the width chart.
