How To Wear Men’s Boots: A Complete Guide

Boots are essential to any man’s wardrobe. They look good with everything from jeans to chinos, and are light enough for carrying around town. But choosing the right pair can be tricky. We’ll tell you the different types of male boots, how to choose the right boot for you, and how to wear male boots like a pro. From work boots to knee-high riding boots, we’ve got your covered.

WHAT IS A MEN’S BOOT?

It’s a shoe for a man. But not only that… It can be a dress boot to wear to that special occasion, or a rugged work boot to hack through the bush. It can be comfortable, durable and good looking all at the same time. Barker men’s boots are just what you need to complete your outfit no matter the season.

How to find Right Fitting Boot?

Size: 

The most important aspect of shoe fit is finding your size. If your foot is larger or smaller than average, or if you have wide or narrow feet, it can be difficult to find shoes that fit properly. Leather shoes with classic designs are available in a range of widths. You can find stylish leather ankle boots for women and leather high heel shoes for men in the size that's right for you.

Width:

Proper fit is everything. Many men, probably most actually, have never had fitted footwear. First-time shopper’s guide to buying men’s boots can be an easy answer to your comfortable footwear needs. Starting at the sole, look for the perfect width by using our handy chart located on each boot’s page. If you are planning on an extended shopping trip for your boots, bring along a shoe stretcher with removable wedges to duplicate the shape of your foot so it can settle in comfortably. 

Heel:

It is very important to measure your foot to make sure you are purchasing the right fit. When you buy online, it is important to determine whether or not the site has accurate sizing guides. Having the correct size will make break-in times much less painful. It also means that the boot fits your foot correctly, which means that it will be more comfortable and offer more support on the heel.

Toe Box:

After all, this is not a place you want to deal with blisters. We’re referring to the toe box, of course. The toes are pretty close to our most sensitive area, but unfortunately that also makes it susceptible to blisters when your shoes are slightly too tight. Our toes swell throughout the day, so when you consider that when you purchase your shoes in the morning, they may not feel quite the same by late evening.
