Cut generously through the calf for an easy pull-on fit. Size 38 (US 7.5): shaft height 15.0 in / 38.0 cm, calf circumference 16.5 in / 41.9 cm. Shaft height is measured from the top of the sole; calf circumference at the widest point of the boot. Both increase by roughly 0.7–1 cm per size.

To check the calf: standing, measure around the widest part of your calf. A boot 1–2 cm larger than your measurement sits close but comfortably; more than that gives room for trousers.

Size conversion & foot length

Italian sizing typically runs narrow. To find your size, measure the length of your foot from heel to toe with your heel flush against a wall, and match it to the chart. Each measurement corresponds to one size. If you fall exactly on a boundary, take the larger size.
