Sixty-six pairs, one EU outlier, and 13 runs with a hole in them. Here is how to order the right size the first time.

Last updated: September 2026

Adam & Westcott boots do not run big or small. All 66 pairs in the Boots collection use the size scale you already know, 65 of them in US men's sizing, so order your usual size. What decides your fit is not an offset, it is whether your half size exists in that boot's run, and 13 of the 66 skip at least one size inside their own range.

Neither. Adam & Westcott lists 65 of its 66 boots in US men's sizing with no house conversion, so your usual US size is the size to order.

There is no brand-wide half size up or down to apply. The only labelling exception is the Ridgecargo Mid-Cut Hiking BootsRidgecargo Mid-Cut Hiking Boots, listed EU 39 to 48, where a US 9 is an EU 42. The product copy on the VINTAGE STITCH ANKLE BOOTSVintage Stitch Ankle Boots states true to size comfort, and the catalog agrees: 53 of 66 boots carry a complete run with every half size present.

What size boots should I order from Adam & Westcott?

Order your usual US size, then check it appears in that boot's run on the product page, because 13 pairs skip sizes and 7 of those drop US 10.5.

Which Adam & Westcott boots skip half sizes?

Thirteen of the 66 boots leave a gap inside their own run, and the half sizes most often missing are US 7.5 and US 10.5, each absent from 7 pairs.

  • Frostway Suede Hiking BootsFrostway Suede Hiking Boots runs US 6.5 to 13 but drops 7.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5 and 12.5, so it offers 9 sizes where a full run gives 14. $69.98
  • Bramwell Winter BootsBramwell Winter Boots is whole sizes only, US 6 through 15, 10 sizes, no half anywhere in the run. $69.99
  • Hudson Rugged BootsHudson Rugged Boots runs US 6 to 11.5 and skips only 7 and 10, which is easy to miss. $69.99

US 9.5, 11.5 and 12.5 are each missing from 6 pairs. When your size is absent, take the next size up rather than down: a boot is worn over a thicker sock, and a thin insole reclaims a half size of room, while a boot that is short has nowhere to give.
