Rifle Boots

[Bbryer33]

I was interested in purchasing the Anschutz Stenvaag Strong Boots and was wondering what size I should get. I have heard so many different opinions on whether to get a size bigger, smaller, or your actual size. I have a size 12 and believe I am done growing for the most part. So what is the truth behind the size question? Some say it's better to have a size smaller so its snug, some say size bigger so there's more room. Thank you for your responses

I'd nix the size smaller ... unless you shoot only smallbore prone and never put them on :-)
Trying to shoot a 60 shot standing match in air, that could darn near kill ya.
Most reputable vendors in the US will send you a pair & you can try them on and if not right send them back for a different pair/size.
It's best to call & chat with them and discuss it ... they have much more experience sizing over the internet/phone than any of us do.

The best bet is if you are shooting a large match like Winter Airgun, they have a limited stock at the match you can try on (do it earlier than later as their stocks are pretty low at the end of the match).

I've found that European sizes are relatively accurate to what they say they are. Then again I usually just get the biggest size they carry ;)
