Sizing & Fit Guide:

• Fit Profile: Traditional Military Fit. This boot is built on a standard military last, providing a secure, structured fit with a slightly roomy toe box to accommodate foot swelling and proper airflow during long hot-weather rucks.
  
  
• Sizing Advice: Runs Large. Based on extensive customer feedback, these boots tend to run about a ½ size larger than standard athletic running shoes. We highly recommend ordering a ½ size down from your normal sneaker size for the best fit.
  
  
• Break-in Period: Moderate. Expect a standard break-in period to allow the robust leather to soften and mold perfectly to the unique shape of your foot and ankle. Wear thick socks for the first few shifts to accelerate this process comfortably.
