    What size to use when ordering rock boots???

    I need to purchase some DUI rock boots. I bought a used suit and the boots it came with are way too small. I wear a 13 tennis shoe. Do you just order the 13? Have they taken into account the socks and suit underneath?

    Thanks

    I wear a size 12 shoe and rock boot. When I originally purchased my suit the shop strongly suggested I get one size bigger, a 13. In the end this proved too large, and I ended up buying 12's.

    Rock Boot Sizing

    I wear size 11 shoes and rock boots. DUI has taken into account that you'll be wearing your socks and suit while in the boot.

    I wear a size 8.5 shoe and got the size 8 rock boots. I could probably do with the 9, but they work fine. Go with your normal shoe size.
    Original sin?
    No, I don't think so.

    me too

    Wear an 8.5 shoe (OK.. so I have tiny feet...) and a 9 rock boot. DO NOT get a size larger. They're sized to fit over undies and neoprene feet.

    Also: they do not have women's sizes. Wifie wears a 7.5, so when i ordered a ladies suit, I ordered 8 boots with it, at the same time.... they were huge. They only have mens sizing.
