Buying boots online always raises the same question: will they fit? Packable boots have a slightly different fit profile to traditional wellies, so it is worth understanding how Pokeboo sizing works before you order. This guide covers everything you need to know - UK, EU and US sizes, half sizes, wide feet and how Pokeboo boots compare to standard welly sizing.
How Pokeboo sizing works
Pokeboo boots are available in whole sizes. Because the natural rubber construction has some flexibility, most customers find that Pokeboo boots fit true to size. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up rather than down - a slightly roomier fit is more comfortable than a tight one, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Half sizes
Pokeboo boots are available in whole sizes only. If you are a half size, we recommend sizing up. For example, if you are normally a UK 6.5, order a UK 7.
Wide feet
Pokeboo boots have a slightly wider than standard width fitting. The natural rubber construction has some flexibility, which means they can accommodate slightly wider feet than a rigid boot of the same size. If you have particularly wide feet, we recommend sizing up by one size and wearing a thinner sock to compensate.
What socks to wear with Pokeboo boots
Pokeboo boots work well with a range of sock thicknesses. For most uses - festivals, travel, dog walking, gardening - a standard cotton or wool sock is fine. For colder conditions, a thicker wool or thermal sock will add warmth; if you plan to wear thicker socks, consider sizing up by one size if you feel you may need to.
Does the fit differ between Pokeboo Original and Pokeboo TREAD?
The sizing is consistent across both models. If you know your size in Pokeboo Original, order the same size in Pokeboo TREAD.

How Pokeboo sizing compares to traditional wellies
Traditional wellies are often sized generously to allow for thick socks. Pokeboo boots tend to fit closer to standard shoe sizing. If you normally size up in wellies, you may find your standard shoe size works well in Pokeboo boots. When in doubt, size up.
