Caterpillar shoes/boots sizing?

Bexbox2

Hi

I am looking at buying some Caterpillar boots for my fiance for xmas online, and was wondering what the sizing is like generally? He is a 9-10 so its a bit tricky as I never know which one to order and I want to suprise him on xmas day.

Does anyone/anyone's partner have Carterpillar footwear that can advise me please?

Thanks

I'm a size 6 and have 2 pairs in a size 6. They are quite generous in size as I can wear thick socks with mine comfortably. I would personally go with a size 10 and he can wear thick socks with them. It's better than them being a little bit too tight.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply, if they are generous in size I'd prob be better with the 9 though I guess? I don't suppose you know if Dr Marten's come up big or small either do you please? Thats the other option

I have a pair of Cat boots for work and they fit perfectly (UK size 11) but I'm pretty sure most Cat boots/shoes are wide fitting rather than standard fit which may not suit all.

I only ever owned one pair of DMs and they were a bit tight if anything, that was a few years ago now.

Ok brill thanks, I think I'll go for the 9's in the Cat

i normally get a size smaller, i'm an 8 but they feel like clown boots if i dont take size 7, really comfy tho

Hi

My husband is a 9 / 10 and I have just been a looked and his Cat boots are a 10. He does wear thick socks as a general rule. Hope this helps

Brill thanks for the reply...I'm thinking perhaps I should just get him to try them on in a shop and give me his size now? It would be disappointing if they don't fit...
