LOWA Size Guide
Fit recommendation
For the best possible fit, we recommend starting with your normal UK boot size, but also check out the expert size recommendation for product specific fit information. However, if you are unsure, get in contact with us, or visit a store to get your feet measured.
The below can be used as a guide if you're not sure on your boot size, and need guidance with where to start - it is best to measure the length of your foot when stood up. Due to individual foot shapes or preferences in fit this recommendation may vary. We also offer some boots in wide and narrow fitting options.
LOWA boots are made in UK sizes (not EU). We offer free returns for peace of mind if the fit isn't quite right.

LOWA toe extra
LOWA recommends a gap between all your toes to the end of the footwear of 15mm for adults (12mm for kids). This has already been taken account for in the tables, so no need to add on.
LOWA fit recommendation
Different models are built on different Lasts (fits). Our fit recommendation on the product page is designed to help provide some guidance on how the footwear fits, using real world user feedback.
Fits tight - the toe box tends to be more tapered, providing a closer, tighter fit more suitable for narrower feet
Fits slightly tight - a closer fit across the foot than some models, providing a more precise feel
Fits regular - our regular fit, designed to fit most people's feet
Fits slightly broad - offers a little more space around the foot than in some of our models
Fits broad - provide the most amount of room around the foot in our most relaxed fits
