How Should My New Lace Up Boots Fit?Updated a year ago

Generally we would recommend about a thumbs width of space ahead of your toes in a new boot. The boots get more comfortable as the leather molds to the foot.  As you break in the boots and the arches settle your foot will move forward and the toe box will curl back, so the boots will end up shorter and wider after break in than when they are new! The boots should fit snug, but not tight or causing pain when leaned properly, and the kilties are installed.
