How many of you remember how your heels slipped up and down when your boots were new?

When fitting a boot you want the heels to slip up and down...if they don't it's a sure sign that the boots are too small.

The heel slippage will go away after a period of time, it's just a matter of breaking your boots in and it is a 3 part process.

• The first thing that has to happen is for you to wear them long enough for the heel counters to set to your heels...
• then the tops have to settle and the soles need to flex. When the boots are new the sole is stiff and when you take a step the foot bends but the boot does not want to follow, therefore the heel pops up in the back. Only the real city slickers come in the Store and say"the boots fit good except they slip in the heel".
• The ball of your foot should line up in the widest part of the sole and the end of your toe should be in about the center of the toe box...the reason for this is the leather will stretch across the instep and you need the room in the toe box area for your feet to inch forward.
