How to Size for Lowa Boots

Lowa Boots have been around for over eight decades and the creators pride themselves on making an excellent-quality boot. Because the boots are made in Europe, they comply with the world's most stringent manufacturing, environmental and labor regulations. Although the company maintains that the sizing follows the measurements on a Brannock Device, many fans recommend getting a boot a bit larger.

Things You'll Need

• Brannock Device or tape measure

Instructions

1. Measure your feet at a store that has the Brannock Device and determine your foot size. The Brannock Device, the metal plate you slide your foot into with numbers that indicate length and width, was designed in 1927 and is considered the standard measuring tool for shoe size.

2. Increase the measurement by a half inch for the length of the boot.

3. Increase the measurement by a half inch for the width of the boot. This should ensure that the boot fits properly.

Tips & Warnings

• The Terrec, Khumbu and Jannu models are made with a different last, which could affect the way the boot fits. There are more than a dozen models, and you should know that these three might fit differently than others.
