The Boots:

These Grinders ranger boots come from a long British heritage of "ranger" boots. The boots worn by British rangers which share the design features of the famous jump boots worn by U.S. paratroopers.

This updated design takes a tough boot and makes it comfortable using thick, supple leather, thick air-cushioned lug soles and a cushioned footbed.
The strong Goodyear welt construction uses extra heavy thread which is lock stitched to ensure these sturdy boots will stay that way.

20-hole? --- That's the British way of describing the height of lace-up boots. You count the number of eyelets or holes up each side of the boot. These 20 hole boots are about 15½" / 40 cm high. The height is measured from top of the boot's heel up the back of the boots and shows how high on your leg the top of the boot will be.

Our pictures shows these boots ladder laced in the traditional British style. Of course you can lace them any you you want. They look great with colored laces too.

The boots in the pictures are shown as they come out of the box. This high quality, fine grain leather will take a great shine... it's up to you to supply the elbow grease and boot polish.

How these boots fit:

These boots are intended to be worn with heavy boot socks. Heavy boot socks help provide a better and more comfortable fit. They keep you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter (as long as they're not made of cotton).

Grinders boots run about one size large in length and are a bit wide. In other words a Grinders size 9 boot will fit about like a U.S. men's size 10 E. They are sized in UK men's sizing. The table to the right shows the recommended Grinders size for each US men's size.

The toe box on the Grinders boots is a classic ranger / jump boot toe. It leaves plenty of toe room in both height and width. You can wiggle your toes when wearing these boots. When you have a correct fit the boots will feel spacious.

Before using the table you should first measure your feet to determine your actual US men's size. Use the advice on our measuring page. Click here to see that page.

Women should determine their foot size using the advice we give on our sizing page (see link above). Don't try to convert women's to men's size... it is much more reliable to measure your feet and to determine their actual size using U.S. men's sizing.

Please don't estimate based on the size of other footwear you own. Boots and shoes vary widely in sizing... the only sure way of getting a good fit is to measure your feet to determine what size they are.

If you're used to British boots such as Dr. Martens you'll find these Grinders boots have a similar fit. But our best advice is to measure your feet.

If the boots feel slightly loose, you can adjust the fit using an extra insole insert to tighten up the fit.
