Since all feet are unique, and all footwear fits differently, use our experience from fitting thousands of men with XL and or Wide feet over more than a decade. Our experienced fit experts routinely fit men better from thousands of miles away over a brief phone call, than reps in their local shoe store can do in person. As one of our seasoned fit experts righteously proclaims, “It’s not that I’m that good, it’s that everyone else in the industry is that bad”.

Call us at (651) 797-6000! Customers who order without speaking to us return their orders at more than 7 times the rate of those who call us for advice before ordering.

The best way to measure is on a brannock device which most shoe stores allow people to use for free.  The next best option which has a much lower success rate, is to measure you foot in inches and call us to convert the length measurement from inches to shoe sizes.  It's flawed to begin with as a full shoe shoe size is based on the length of a mustard seed!
Unfortunately, there is no universal measurement for width when it comes to how an item fits. Even within the same brand, a "4E Wide" for example, could vary in how wide actually feels significantly from one style to another. Variations in how wide a 4E is can vary even more from one brand to another. Width is just one of many factors that our experienced fit experts use to determine the best fit for our customers and when fitting a foot without considering all the factors.

• AAA Narrow (Narrowest width on the market)
• AA Narrow

• B Narrow

• EE Wide
• EEE Wide

• 5E Wide

6E Wide (widest reliable width on the market) Best option for more than 90% of our customers.

We intentionally do not offer a sizing chart. Since all footwear fits differently, sizing charts have proven to be very misleading and cause many more returns, hassle, and costs for our customers.
Fitting feet is different for every person.  How your foot fits a given shoe or boot is as unique as your fingerprints.  The riskiest part of fitting one’s feet based on a size chart is the wasted time, hassle, and worse, the shipping costs that result from receiving footwear that doesn’t fit.  For the best fit, please call us at (651) 797-6000.

We have the wisdom of fitting thousands of men both in person and over the phone, and we know the difference in fit from one brand to the next and one style to another.

If all things were equal, and THEY MOST CERTAINLY ARE NOT, every 'E' of width is about the same as the width of a nickel.   If you are at all uncertain we can blindly tell you based on the thousands of returns and exchanges we’ve processed over more than a decade of serving men with XL and Wide Feet, more than 90% of the time wider is better.
