Look for the helpful tool tip on each product's detail page near the size menu. Keep in mind this is only a suggestion, accurate fit for every foot type cannot be guaranteed. As always, if you require a different size due to fit, you can take advantage of our free returns policy.

Free returns are available on boot purchases only.

Please note that free returns are not available to residents of Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, certain rural areas not covered by UPS and any purchases shipped through the United States Postal Service (USPS). We apologize for this inconvenience.

Some issues regarding width may be corrected with a different HAIX insole. A "wide" insole can create more room in your boot, while a "narrow" insole can create less space. If the length looks correct based on the illustration below and you're still not comfortable with the fit of your boot, contact customer service.

Please contact our Customer Service Team. We will contact our shipping service provider for you.

Most of our Fire and EMS boots have NFPA certifications. Some boots are certified to more than one NFPA standard. Please click "download features" on a boot's product page to determine the full certifications for that boot.

Sun Reflect leather is the result of a chemical treatment during the tanning of the boot. It allows the leather to reflect more light and heat than standard leather would, so our boots are comparably cooler to the touch and cooler inside, after sitting in the sun. Sun Reflect only applies to black leather boots. Watch video here.

If you don't want your napped leather to look oiled, you can forego the polish. The nap can be fluffed up again after washing and drying using a soft brush.
