Size Guide

Sizing Tip
Many Wide Load customers are used to sizing up in other work boot brands to gain extra width. Since Wide Load boots are significantly wider than standard brands, you may need to consider going back down to your size for the length of your foot.

Measuring your feet
If you’re unsure of your size in any of the listed sizing types, measuring the length of your feet is the best way to determine the right fit.
Follow these simple steps to measure both feet – it’s common for one foot to be slightly longer than the other.
Once measured, use the Wide Load Size Chart to match your longest foot measurement to the correct boot size.
Measuring Tips
- Always do both feet as quite often one foot is slightly longer than the other. (Use the longest measurement)
- Always measure with socks or stockings on if shoes or boots are to be worn with them.
- If the measuring result you get is 'in between' - go up a size.
- If your feet have an unusually high instep or you have wider than normal feet, take the time to send us a message via contact us before placing your order. We will be able to provide more information and advise you of alternatives.

As long as I can remember I've had a large foot. In 2nd grade I could no longer fit in traditional sizes and had to resort to the more expensive Reebok Pump or Air Jordans available at the time because I was a size 14 US, Im from the USA. Over the course of my childhood I was never able to rollerskate, ski/snowboard, snorkel/skuba, and had to wear mismatched spikes/sneakers from my high school teams due to my sizing. Im now 42 years old and wear either a 17 4E or 18 2E/4E- but Im extremely limited on styles and brands. New Balance and Dunham have been my go to over the past 15 years or so. Going into this winter season I was in need of a new workboot, so I did a google search for tactical boots in my size and found the 790BZN - 8INCH BLACK SOFT TOE ZIP / LACE UP BOOT on XLFeet.com in size 17 6E. The price was double what Id normally pay for a pair of boots, but I had money at the time so I went for it. These boots did not disappoint at all, and have been worth every single penny. I work outdoors in all weather conditions, and these remarkable boots have kept my feet warm and dry in heavy rain, snow, slush, and temperatures as low as 0 Fahrenheit. The zip feature on the side makes ingress and egress possible without untying the laces. My only complaint is the laces are 19 miles long, so I have to tie them using 3 Parisian knots. Another plus to these boots is the high ankle support, I have a flat foot and require steroid injections every 6 months due to ankle pain, but these awesome boots provide such good support that I no longer feel any pain. I can honestly hold my hand on my heart and say with confidence that these are the BEST pair of shoes Ive EVER owned. You Aussies really have customer service done right. In conclusion- so long as you keep making these amazing boots in my size, you've got a customer for life. Thank you so much for thinking of those of us with abnormally large feet. Kind Regards, Joshua Aldrich
