Finding just the right fit for your boots is important if you want comfort and healthy feet. Whether buying motorcycle boots
logger boots
lacer boots
cowboy boots
or steel toe boots
you'll want the best fit possible so you can enjoy your activities without aches and blisters. Here are some "fitting" tips to remember when shopping for boots.

Choose Quality over Price

Invest only in boots of high quality. Price should only be a factor once you've carefully examined the quality of the boots. To put them to the test
check for solid bottoms. Try pressing your thumb into the bottom of the sole. If the sole can be pressed in with your thumb
the boots are probably too soft to give the protection you need. Also
try twisting the soles of the boots. If you can twist them
they're probably too soft. Solid bottoms are very important with steel toe boots
logger boots
lacer boots
or any other boots used for strenuous work or activities.

Another indicator of quality is the strength and protection provided by the sides of the boots. Good boots will provide extra padding to protect your feet from rocks
stones
metal objects
and so forth. Ankle support can be tested by grabbing the top of the boot and trying to bend it over sideways. If it can be bent easily
then ankle support is probably not a main feature.

If working outdoors or doing outdoor activities such hiking or riding motorcycles
be sure the boots are waterproof. Motorcycle boots and cowboy boots will be exposed to all sorts of weather while riding
from the heat of the sun to possibly heavy rain downpours! Waterproof boots will last longer and protect your feet from moisture.

Pricing your boots should only come after quality has been considered. You can shop online to find great bargains once you know which type or brand name of boots you want.

Fitting Your Boots

Even if shopping online for boots
you should have them fitted in person by a professional if possible. Remember
all boots are not created equal; all feet are not created equal! Your boots should fit like a glove and be as comfortable as your running shoes. Even heavy boots should fit comfortably.

Before leaving the house
grab a pair of socks you would normally wear with boots. Try on the boots and wear them while walking around the store for at least 15 minutes.

Sizing Your Boots

Be sure the boots do not slip on the heel. Also
check for plenty of room at the toes. Many brand name boots offer a "wide-toe" size if needed. Check the sizing with your index finger. To do this
unlace the boots and move your foot forward as far as possible. Try slipping your index finger inside the boot behind the ankle. If your finger fits there comfortably
then you've got the right size. They're not too tight or too loose.

To check for tightness
try them on without socks once. Be sure your toes have plenty of "wiggling" space. Also
feel for tight spots around the sides of your feet. Then
test the boots again with socks.

Test Your Stride

While walking around the store
notice how the boots feel when walking forward
backward and side-ways. If planning to wear the boots while hiking or walking on inclined areas
ask the store clerk if there's an inclined area in the store or a slanted board to test your boots.

Shopping for Boots Online

Once you find the perfect fit and quality boots
you can go online to find great prices on the type of boots you need. There are boot outlets online that offer many brand names and styles to fit your needs. Also
many online malls offer other items for sale
from RC toys to diecast model cars
so you can do other shopping during your visit. Whether you need logging boots
lacer boots
cowboy boots
steel toe boots
or motorcycle boots
you'll want the very best. Your feet are worth it!
