How do I measure my foot length?

Stand with your weight evenly distributed across both feet. Place a ruler or measuring tape against a wall and measure from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe (this isn't always your big toe). Measure both feet and use the longer measurement when choosing your size. If you usually wear thick socks with your boots, measure with the socks on.

Which insole should I measure?

Use the inner sole length column in the measurement chart above. Match your foot length to the inner sole length for the size you're considering. Your foot should be the same length as the inner sole, or up to about 1 cm shorter, so the inner sole is the same length as your foot or very slightly longer. Oberon inner soles run from 24.10 cm (EU 36 / UK 3) to 30.06 cm (EU 45 / UK 12).

What do I do if I'm a half size? Are these true to size?

Yes, Oberon fits true to size. Note that Oberon is our wide-fit boot (D-width), so it has more room through the foot than our other styles. If you're a half size, don't guess based on your usual shoe size. Measure your foot and choose the size where the inner sole is 0.5 to 1 cm longer than your foot. The inner sole length for each size is in the measurement chart above.

Where should I measure to get an accurate measurement of the width?

Measure across the widest part of your foot (around the ball of the foot or bunion joints), then compare to the Toe width (inner) column in the measurement chart above.

Oberon is our wide-fit boot (D-width), with a more generous, square-toe shape than our other styles. If you've worn another Merry People style and wished you had more room across the foot, Oberon is the one designed for you.

If I'm a half size am I better to go up or down a size?

Neither by default. Measure your foot first. The right size is the one where the inner sole is 0.5 to 1 cm longer than your foot (use the inner sole length column in the measurement chart above). The neoprene lining will soften and mould to your feet over time like memory foam, so a slightly snug start is normal.

What size should I go for if I have one foot bigger than the other?

Go with the size that fits your larger foot. If the difference is significant, you can remove the innersole on the larger side for up to half a size extra room, or add an orthotic to the smaller side for a snugger fit.

    Amazing

    Better than I could have imagined. They are great quality, and wide-foot friendly! I was searching for a good, comfortable, wide-foot friendly rainboot for some time now and have not been able to find a good one until now. I am so happy with this purchase.

    Best boots ever!

    I have wide feet and usually have to either go up a size, which makes me look like I’m always wearing clown shoes or ‘stretch’ a normal shoe. however these boots cater for wider feet and fit perfectly! No rubbing, no blisters - the best boots ever!! Would buy again!

    My husband won’t take them off!

    My husband struggles to find comfortable shoes because he has wide feet and the toe box of most shoes is super uncomfortable for him.

    I bought him the yellow Oberon’s a few months ago… and the only reason he now takes them off is to put his new blue ones on!! Doesn’t matter if it’s gardening or being in the workshop, work or a wedding- he’s in his Oberons!

    Please make a wider colour range available- they’re fabulous.

    Very comfortable!

    With a wide foot, it’s always a gamble ordering shoes online. Their customer service advised this was the boot to go for, as i wanted something that would pull on easily. The first wear was comfortable, and the subsequent wears have been the same. Happy so far! I do notice they seem to trap some moisture (sweat) in the boot, perhaps from the neoprene? They’re also snug (though not uncomfortable) around my largish ankle which might have something to do with trapping moisture. Biggest downside was the additional duty I had to pay ($73) for them coming into Canada, as they were already a splurge! If they last years it will be worth it.
