Boot brands against the standard sizes
Some boot makers publish one chart for all their footwear. Against the standard size tables:
- Timberland runs large in men’s shoes, against 23 other brands’ charts: size for size, its chart is made for a longer foot than another brand’s 56% of the time, about the same (within 2.5 mm) 33% and a shorter one 11%, typically by half a size. Go about half a size down from the size you wear in most brands, or size from your foot length on its chart. Timberland’s chart
- Dr. Martens runs large in men’s shoes, against 23 other brands’ charts: size for size, its chart is made for a longer foot than another brand’s 52% of the time, about the same (within 2.5 mm) 35% and a shorter one 13%, typically by half a size. Go about half a size down from the size you wear in most brands, or size from your foot length on its chart. Dr. Martens’ chart

Questions
Is boot size the same as shoe size?
For men, in US sizes, yes, on the brands’ own charts: ASICS’s boot chart matches its shoe chart, and Timberland’s PRO boots are made for the same foot as its shoes for 15 of 16 men’s sizes. EU and UK numbers can differ between a brand’s charts. For women it differs: Timberland’s PRO boot chart makes 7 of 12 women’s US sizes for a different foot from its shoe chart, 2 longer (US 5, 5.5, by 5 mm) and 5 shorter (US 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, by 5 mm): check the boot chart for your foot length.
Should I size up for boots?
None of the boot charts here say so: they size boots by the same foot as shoes. Measure in the socks you’ll wear, and size from your foot length on the brand’s chart.
