When ordering on-line, all the time order your boots true to length or a half-size up—however by no means a half-size down. “Most often talking, I have a tendency to length everybody up a half-size,” mentioned Beth Henkes, a gross sales lead on the REI retailer in Alderwood, Washington, when Wirecutter creator Ebony Roberts interviewed her in 2017. “For instance, if I measure any individual, and they’re useless on an 8, in maximum boots I’m going to clutch them an 8½ and no less than get started there.”
