Cowboy Boot Fit

A new pair of cowboy boots should feel snug but not painful. The instep ought to fit like a firm handshake, holding your foot in place, while your heel should slip just a little—about a quarter inch—until the leather breaks in. Your toes should have room to move without hitting the front, and the ball of your foot should sit naturally at the widest part of the boot. Over time, the leather will stretch and mold to your foot, giving you a custom, glove-like fit.
