Fit & Sizing Andrew boots use European sizing and generally fit true to European size. Use the size guide above to compare EU, NZ/AU/UK and US sizing before ordering. The Nepal Hunter SPX is built on a men’s wide-fit last. Its medium-flex construction is designed to provide solid support while remaining comfortable for long periods of walking. Try boots on with the socks you normally hunt in. If you wear thick merino socks in colder weather, allow for that when selecting your size. Your boot should feel secure through the heel and mid-foot, while leaving enough room at the toes for downhill walking. If you are between sizes, measure both feet while standing and use the larger foot as your guide. Care & Warranty A premium leather hunting boot will last longer with regular care. Brush off mud and rinse away dirt after each trip. Clean boots after exposure to salt water, mud or animal waste. Let boots dry naturally in a warm, ventilated place. Do not dry boots directly beside a fire, heater or on a hot floor; excessive heat can dry and damage leather. Condition the leather regularly with a suitable boot-care product to keep it supple and help prevent cracking. Check the outsole and rubber rand periodically for damage after hard use in rocky country. Andrew Footwear backs its boots with a 12-month warranty.
