Next time, try Google
International Shoe Size Conversion Charts/Converter Tables for Shoes Sizes

Nothing says they will fit right though. Some manufacturers go big or small on the sizes.

Re: Euro boot sizing question

You should be able to find a shop near you that sells that brand. Have you tried to look locally?

Re: Euro boot sizing question

Check your shoes and boots; they sometimes list both sizes. They are made in China anyway, why have two labels when you an have just one?

Re: Euro boot sizing question

Sad thing is it's true..
Cost of the Boot;
synthetic leather...$ 10.00
Plastic latches...$ 5.00
Rubber sole...$ 4.00
Child Labour...$ 1.00
Brand Name Label...$ 150.00
Store mark up...$ 150.00
MSRP....$ 449.00
"On sale"...$ 320.00
MADE IN CHINA

No Country can afford to change it.. society can afford to have anything made in North America.
