Default RE: HD boot sizing?

Harley boots are true to size if your foot measures at 10 buy a 10 I cant compare to the martins, I dont have any butI have a few pairs of Harleys. The Harness boots with the square toes are my favs.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how the sizing runs in HD boots compared to Doc Martins. I wear a size 12 DM's and would like to get a new set of riding boots, the nearest dealer is 100 miles and it's so much cheaper to buy online. Also if anyone could recommend some goodtypes/styles of their boots that would be great.

My last pair of HD boots I bought 1/2 size bigger, and put some Dr. Scholl's gel inserts in. Man o man are they comfortable!

Far as I can tell, the sizes run equivalent to other shoes/boots I have bought. I don't have any DM though.

Wolverine make the HD boots. If you can try a set of them, you should match that size for HD branded boots.

Don't forget that DMs are UK sized. You will need to order one full size larger for the proper USA size. I bought some HD boots last year from
www.sportsmansguide.com. They had a good selection and reasonable prices. They also carry DMs from time to time. Their customer service is quite effective. they would be able to answer any questions you have. Hope this helps.
yep, not only that, but DM's only come in whole sizes too. no half sizes.

I've got a pair of the HD engineer square toe boots....I wear a 10 1/2 in everything else and these are true to that size.

I had read that HD boots come 1/2 size small, so I ordered a set of HD, Cimarron boots a 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size. They fit like they are a 1/2 size too large. I could of sent them back for the proper size, but they fit good enough.
