bradberry00 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I am going to order a pair of Orca Bay boots for my very slow Shoretrooper build, and am curious how their sizing runs. Do they run large? Small? I am typically a 9...I am thinking of getting the EU42 UK8, is this right? I almost always wear leather boots and typically like to get them a bit on the tight side as the leather stretches and molds to my foot better.

Mine are a bit on the small side, but I do have a wide foot! If you have the same problem, maybe order a slightly bigger size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeuk Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I usually wear a 44 but I have a 43 in the Brecon and they fit perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradberry00 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Ha! I love it when people say the exact opposite thing. I am sure it is based on what shoes people are used to wearing...I am used to wearing leather boots, my best fitting ones started uncomfortable and tight...leather stretches and molds to your foot, it is an amazing thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. I mostly wear Doc Martens and they a bit more forgiving for those of us with wider feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauitsch Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I usually sport a EU42/UK8... got me a UK7 and a UK8 from Orca directly since I wasnt sure... However, what I can tell is that the UK7 is a bit too small for me and the UK8 is ok even though they are a tiny bit wider than I am used to from other shoes. Long Story short... if one has normal feet according to the size mentioned they might appear a bit wide in first place but this changes once you actively star wearing them. My take would always be the bigger one rather than the smaller one and I really had/have the opportnuity to crosstest them. Taking the smaller ones will not make you happy especially not on all day troops. The Orca problem is simply that they dont do half sizes which is a real shame the UK7s (Sand) are actually still brand new, boxed as they came from the UK, only worn for roughly ten minutes in house and guess what... they are available for a very nice and fair price If anyone is interested, just drop me a line (hope this little advert is acceptable since I spiced it up with some valid information: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
