We like to put our best foot forward, but are the shoes we wear the best for our feet?

Good shoes (in our books) are defined by their shape, and specifically, the shape of the toe box. A wider toe box allows your feet to move naturally and breathe and accommodates the natural swelling that occurs to our feet throughout the day. 

The health benefits of wider footwear can be felt all over your body. Initially, your toes will thank you, for not cramping or constricting them in footwear that confines your feet and in-turn, your movement.

Your lower back, legs, hips, and posture will also appreciate the space you give your toes. Wider footwear encourages total body movement, ensuring your muscles stay active and work harmoniously to support you. 

Move more freely and choose footwear with wider toe boxes; your body will thank you for it. 

Choosing the right size

Before or during ordering your shoes, we recommend you measure the length of your feet to find the right size. Our chart may help you but does not guarantee that the shoes fit. 

To ascertain your measurement, stand on a ruler against a wall. Your measurement should include the entire length of your foot, measured from heel to longest toe.

Please measure both feet, and choose your size based on the largest measurement. 

If your foot length equals the maximum on any of the measurements, please choose the next size up. 

Boots with wool lining might need to be ordered in the next size up to accommodate the wool. 

If you are in-between sizes, we offer Wool Insoles that may help with half-sizes.

As your Duckfeet break in, the leather will soften and stretch in the width if needed; please keep this in mind when sizing.
