Taking a few minutes out of your day to measure yourself carefully and accurately will ensure we get the right boots or shoes to you first time. Simply choose whether you are measuring for boots or for shoes, and follow the instructions on the right.

Now that you have your measurements, input them below (to the nearest centimetre) and we'll show you everything we have right now that will fit you. Please note: If you're between sizes, we advise that you vary your search by 1cm depending if you prefer a tighter or looser fit in your boots.

Measuring your legs for a perfect DUO fit. Here’s how…


Calf Measurements

  • Find a tape measure and take a seat. Place your foot flat on the floor in front of you. Tip: a piece of string and a ruler will do just as well!  
  • Wrap the tape (or string, ribbon, phone charger etc) around the widest part of your calf, leaving no gap, and measure to the nearest 1cm.
  • Measure both calves and use the wider measurement when placing your order.  

Boots Heights

Our website will provide you with the height of a boot when browsing.














  • The height of the boot depends upon the style, your shoe size and your calf width.
  • The height measurement is taken from the bottom of the boot (not including the heel) to the very top of the boot.
  • In order to check that the height of a boot style will be suitable for you please follow this advice:

How to measure your leg height 
  • Sit on a seat with your knee at 90 degrees and your foot flat on the floor.
  • Place the end of the tape measure touching the floor at the bottom of your heel.
  • Measure straight up the back of your leg to the given boot height measurement. This will give you the approximate place that the boot will sit on your leg, (please note the boot should not sit right in the crease of the knee as this would be uncomfortable when the knee is bent).

 
DUO tips:

  • Most styles have a small elastic section at the top of the boot that allows at least 1cm stretch. Leather is a natural product and will give slightly as you wear them in.
  • If you’ve ordered before, we’ll already know your previous size measurements, but because everyone changes shape from time to time, please check your measurements again each time you order.
  • If you regularly wear tights or long socks with boots, wear them when you measure. Similarly if you plan to wear trousers tucked into your boots, wear trousers when you measure to ensure the fit is generous enough to accommodate them.


How tall are your boots?
Boot height is the distance in a straight line from the bottom of your foot at the heel to the top of our boot. The height of our knee-length boots increases slightly with the shoe size, calf size and style of boot, ranging from 27cm to 51cm in a full length boot (more for over-the-knee styles). Each product page displays the approx height of the boot displayed. Select a shoe size and a calf width and the boot height will automatically display.

I have wide/narrow feet, will your boots fit?
We manufacture our boots with a standard C fitting shoe in calf widths of 30-40cm. In calf widths 40-50cm we manufacture the boots with a slightly wider shoe fitting. If you are unsure, pick up the phone +44 (0)845 070 5588 or email us enquiries@duoboots.com, we can advise on styles that might suit your foot.

I have wide/narrow ankles, will your boots fit?
The size of the ankle on many of our boots changes with the size of the leg and the foot. This offers you the kind of fit you would otherwise only find on a bespoke pair of boots. In most cases we can get the right fit for you first time. However, if your experience is that your ankles are particularly large or slim compared to your calves, please contact us with your ankle measurement before you order, so we can suggest styles that may fit your leg shape better.

I am buying from DUO for the first time, is there anything I should bear in mind?

  • Narrow heels - when buying a pair of boots or shoes with a narrow heel, the pressure exerted on the heel is significant and the heavier the wearer, the quicker the rubber ‘heel tip’ will wear out. If you plan to wear narrow heeled boots/shoes over extended periods of time, be aware that you will need to replace the heel tips regularly and before the tips wear completely.
     
  • Pointed styles - these boots or shoes can wear more quickly at the toe-piece. The tips should be replaced when they begin to look worn.
     
  • Ankles - expect your boots to wrinkle around the ankle over time. There needs to be space between your ankle and the boot to allow for freedom of movement. If they were made too tight in this area they would not be wearable.
