A long cuff needs to stay up without pinching the calf; try it with the boots you will wear.

Before you buy

Every brand prints its own size chart, and a medium at one maker is not a medium at another. Open the size chart for the brand you choose, or use the size finder with the exact model. Then check the heel, toes and cuff in your own shoes with the fit checklist.

Washing settings differ by maker too: the care lookup gives each model’s own instruction.
