If you have a skinnier foot, get the Anschutz it fits better.
If you have a stockier foot, get Sauer.
I have both. I found that the Anschutz has the same quality as the Sauer boots, thus I don’t understand the big difference in price.

tsokasn,
Not everybody has the same body build. Some people are skinny, some are fat, and some are muscular. The skinny people usually have thinner bones. The Anschutz boot will fit them better than the Sauer, because the Sauer boots have more room inside. People with a stockier build usually have thicken bones, thus their feet are usually thicker; the Anschutz boots may fit uncomfortably tight. They should be wearing the Sauer boots.
Since Greece is closed to Italy, did you get a chance to wear Italian shoes? I have, and in general they give me a tighter fit than American made shoes. I think in general the Italians have slimmer feet than us Americans.

I think what Joe66 is referring to is the width of your foot. That is the measurement across your foot. In the US or British systems, shoes are measured in length (size 7 UK = 41/42 European or size 8 US). Widths are measured from A to EEEEEE, which is(for size 7 from 8cm to 12cm). What the poster is saying is that if your foot is narrow then go for the Anschutz. If your foot is wide, then go for the Sauer. As for locating Greece close to Italy, that may be the view of an American used to the wide open prairies! We in Europe would not consider you that close (unless you are in Corfu!).tsokasn wrote:Joe66, myEnglish are a little bit rusty.Can you define me skinnier and stockier please?Thank you!
Boots
From my experience, Sauer and Anschutz boots are quite roomy [volume] for the given sizes. Kurt Thune are a tad narrower for the same size.
Gehmann also sell some good boots that are quite roomy.
Kusterman are slightly on the narrow side but very good boots My all time favourite is the Truttman boot if you can get them.

Hello peepsight.I got a pair of Anschutz Easy.They cost me 150eyros from Greece.The reason i bought them from my country is that it was the only way to try them on my feet.About the trousers now,my Anschytz dealer has not got any stock to try on.I told him that he must measure me,but he told me that i only have to tell him the number of my shooting jacket...I don't think he is right...What must i do?
Trouser measurement
Hi
It would be safer to give your inside leg measurement and waist measurement. Next measure the total length from your waist band to your ankle. If you have a realy good fitting pair of jeans, [i don't mean those grobby baggy things] give those measurements to the shop.
