Because every cowgirl deserves boots that feel as good as they look.

Step 1: Know Your Usual Size

Golden West boots are made true to size. Start with your typical shoe size in well-made sneakers or leather shoes.

• Between sizes? We recommend sizing up if you have a wider foot.

• Already wear cowboy boots? Use the size that fits you best in a classic brand.

Step 2: Try Them On the Right Way

When your boots arrive, here’s how to make sure the fit is just right:

• Use a boot sock or a sock that is slightly thicker than your everyday sock, but not bulky.

• Stand up and walk around on carpet to protect the soles in case you need to return.

• Expect heel slip. A little lift in the heel (¼–½ inch) is normal and will disappear as the sole breaks in.

• Feel for a snug instep: this is the top of your foot. It should feel secure, like a hug, not tight, not loose.

• Check the toe room. You should be able to wiggle your toes. No cramping, no pinching.

• Look for comfort, not cushion. Leather molds to your foot over time.

Step 3: Break Them In Like a Pro

Leather boots only get better with wear. Here’s how to ease into your new pair:

• Wear them around the house for short periods

• Let them naturally soften at pressure points (especially the instep)

• Want to speed it up? Try a leather conditioner on tight areas

• Avoid heat or water to force a stretch. They’re built to break in with you, not against you

Pro Tips:

• Try on boots you already own. Most of us have one foot slightly bigger.

• Try them in the afternoon, your feet naturally swell a little throughout the day.

• Try on while standing. Weight-bearing fit matters.
