Unsure about sizing? You don't need to be. Samelin boots run large — just keep that in mind and they will fit right.
The rule of thumb
Take one size smaller than your usual Nike or Adidas size. Normally a size 42? Then order a 41. It's that simple.
These boots are built to fit comfortably even with thicker socks — hence the more generous fit. With this one adjustment they fit right away, with no ruler or tape measure needed.
