Boot fitting is our speciality.
At Foothills we have over 50 models of men's hiking boots in store. We have all the major brands of hiking boots - Scarpa, Meindl, Zamberlan, Altberg, Oboz, and Keen - as well as lesser known manufacturers. Hiking boots are the most important things that you wear on the hill. Their fit and your comfort are paramount. Boot fitting is our speciality. You need to come and have your boots fitted by us.
As fitting is so important no sizes are listed on the site. For more information about this, or if you live far away, please give us a call on: 0114 2586228 (Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri 09.30 -5.30pm Weds 09.30 - 7pm or Sat 10.00 - 5pm ). If your only solution is to buy on-line we will offer as much fitting advice as possible over the phone to try and ensure you get the best boots possible.
If you take a size 8 hiking boot made in Italy, Austria, Switzerland, the UK , Germany, Hungary, Rumania, Portugal, France, the USA, Korea, or China (and that’s only the ones we stock) and line them up they are all likely to be different in length, volume, and width.
The fit of your boots is what matters the most, rather than the size on the box.
To fit a pair of boots we must investigate the varied dimensions of both your feet i.e.:
- the length
- the width
- the arch length
- the volume
- the change in size between weighted and un weighted
- the heel shape
