Courteney Selous Boots - Sizes Generous?

[rookhawk]

I called the US dealer telling them I was a size US 15 and a EU 50. They were pretty confident a UK 14 (the largest size they had on hand) was going to fit properly. They said I could return if they don't fit but I thought I'd ask this forum.

Was this overenthusiastic salesmanship or have you experienced that they run long?

1/2 size large for me.

My feet aren't as large as yours but my Courtney's are one size smaller than my US shoe size. My guess is they should work if the table below is any help.

All the best.

i am 8 to 8 1/2 uk sizing, and my usa JB Hill boots a usa size 10 . my courtneys are 8 so the size 14 should be ok.

I am 10.5 to 11 US. Courtney 10.5 fits fine. They are actually quite roomy in the toes. BTW I found the customer service at Africa Sporting Creations (if that is where ypu are ordering from) to be excellent so a return will probably not be am issue.

I thought you said you were a 14.5 US and if that is the case I am pretty sure that a 13.5 UK would fit you which is the largest size we carry. On sizes up to 11.5 USA we almost always fit folks by dropping down a half size. When we get above that size it seems as if they run larger and most people have to drop down a full UK size to match their USA size. We just sent out two pairs to a father and son who were 14 USA and they both took 13 UK. While the charts are directionally correct, every last maker sizes them a little different. I hope this is helpful

I bought a pair eu43. They fit when I bought them
But became too big after a while.
Than I bought a pair 41 (two sizes too small) and walked
Them in wet. They fit like perfect now.

The shoes are made here in Zim. The cabelas boots I wear are a size bigger than the UK size so if they have a 14 UK they should fit you.

Concur with above. I wear size 13 US sizing, and the 12 UK fits fine. 11.5 was too small. Sent them back and no hassle with African Sporting Creations ( pleasure to deal with). Tom Greene

Which NBA team to you play for?

cant comment on the boot size but sure you are going to enjoy your Courtney's once you have them, they are the best shoes for hunting!

While on the topic of Courteney's - I have to mention that you can now build your own boot on the site and this week we added the ability for a women's option. So, what does that mean? Well, after selecting your size, you can choose your style (up to 7), your leather (even Hippo), Color and Sole. Since they are custom order, there is a wait time to receive them, but well worth it.

If you are new to Courteneys, or this is your first pair, we made it easy. We'll ship you a "trial pair" to verify that you are getting the correct size. Check out the site for more info. And, of course, we agree with the statement above, "They are the best shoes for hunting!"

For the record, sizes aren't linear in their translation.

If you wear a US size 15, a Courtney UK size 14.5 is what you need. Their 14.5 is effectively a 15.25 US in my opinion. (And a fine boot!)
