Punkers Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi all, I know that there are probably several responses that have been made with regards to TKBoots sizes, but I want to be absolutely sure of what i'm buying before I place an order. I know that TKBoots is down to limited inventory before they find their new supplier (undetermined amount of time or quality of the product) and I don't want to have to wait for months and months before I find something. I found that there was availability with my size but I am concerned about the way that their sizing page is written and some of the things i've read here. If I am a half size shoe normally and based on their site the shoes run "a tiny, tiny bit long and just a little narrow" does this translate into basically the shoes are bigger than advertised so you really don't need to stress about getting that 1/2 size larger in order to fit in them as they claim? My concern is that due to their limited quantity / sizing available, I don't want to pay the $68 + $15 shipping = $83 price tag only to find out that they are way too small or way too big. Can anyone clarify for me and help ease my mind on this purchase? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo[TK] Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Depending on the size, if they didn't fit well, good chance you could resell them easily. What size are you thinking of buying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine1977 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I have always heard that they run a tad large,, never small... so if you were 11.5, an 11 would be perfect.. too bad I just bought the last pair of 11s mine should be here any day, my feet measure exactly 11 inches so I will post how they fit (if you haven't already purchased a pair) Edited May 15, 2013 by Palpatine1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armoredguard Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I wear a size 10 1/2 usually and my tk boots in size 10 are perfect if that helps at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This helps a lot actually, I appreciate your input. I have always heard that they run a tad large,, never small... so if you were 11.5, an 11 would be perfect.. too bad I just bought the last pair of 11s mine should be here any day, my feet measure exactly 11 inches so I will post how they fit (if you haven't already purchased a pair) Great. Thank you! Two confirming the same = they run 1/2 size too big. Depending on the size, if they didn't fit well, good chance you could resell them easily. What size are you thinking of buying? This is a good point, assuming there are actually any troopers my shoe size looking for boots after I get mine lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkers Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I went ahead and ordered, hopefully they actually do have them in stock. I will report back my findings when / if these are indeed in stock and arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right, TK boots are a hot commodity lol, especially now since they will be ceasing production, albeit hopefully temporarily... so I doubt you'd have any problems re-selling if need be... also, i'm no expert, but i hear with leather, you can stretch it somewhat too..

Ales Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I wear a size 10 1/2 usually and my tk boots in size 10 are perfect if that helps at all. What is your foot length? There are so many different tips about boots sizing by country-to-country standards. I know exactly that boots size US 11 made in US is 11, but size US 11 made in China may be actual 11,5. The actual dimensions of TK boots will be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekullbe Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I wear a US 11, and my size 11 TK boots are slightly too big. Not too much though; insoles and thick socks cleared it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7[TK] Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Mine fit perfectly, but they do leave a bit of room for some comfy insoles, which is nice for troopng. So, I guess they might run a hair large. Always better to go larger than smaller if ever in doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is most comfortable and provides the best feel when trooping (especially long troops) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
