How will my boots stretch?

When buying boots, these key parts of the boot will adjust to your foot in slightly different ways:

• The vamp, or the part of the boot that covers the top of your foot, has the most leather and will stretch about a quarter of a size.
• The toe box is reinforced and won't stretch much, so consider going up a half size if your toes feel cramped.
• The heel counter is the structural focal point of the boot and will mold to your heel for a tighter fit over time. Up to a half inch of vertical slip is normal, though!

Overall the boot should fit snugly across the top, have room for your toes, and have a bit of vertical slip in the back (but you should not be slipping front-to-back).
