Proper Cowboy Boot Fit. New boots should feel comfortably snug. The ball of the foot should be right in the widest part of the boot, indicating proper arch length and adequate toe room (toes should sit flat and free). The boot should be snug over the instep (top of the foot) since there are no laces, buckles, etc.

Wellington boot sizes are the same as regular footwear sizes. If you're planning to wear several pairs of thick socks for extra warmth in snowy conditions, maybe get one size up so your wellies fit better. Wellies are supposed to be tight enough to prevent your feet slipping out.
