Boots Cabelas Size Question

[GrandA]

HI,

I'm planning on purchasing a pair of the Cabelas 800 Gram Leather Ridge boots. I am a size 10 in Nike, does this brand usually fit smaller or larger? Anyone bought a pair of the cabelas boots before? good/bad, I'm on a tight budget..

thanks

Canadian sizes follow U.K. sizing, U.S. is different.
10 Cdn is about an 11 U.S.
The metric sizing is universal.

those look pretty decent, im in the market for boots too. mind letting me know how they work out?

[RJ]

oh yeah and look the tongue tag on the nike's, should have all the conversions right there

[GrandA]

i will, i do walk a lot when im hunting, ive got no quad, so ill give them a good test when out in the field. boxhitch are you certain on that sizing US and CDN, because I have bought shoes in the states and canada and im always a size 10 for Nikes.

[RJ]

im pretty sure we just go by the u.s. sizes. im a 10 1/2 and i would probably go for an 11 just for the thicker wool socks.

I got some boots from Cabelas and there was a sizing chart that I printed from their site and it worked out just fine. This was on the American site.

[boxhitch]

I guess if you have always bought the equivalent of a u.s. size, then nothing changes.
shoe and boot boxes have the three sizes marked on sometimes

[boxhitch]

im a 10 1/2 and i would probably go for an 11 just for the thicker wool socks.Maybe reconsider, if buying the 800 gram insulated model. These will pack out in time, and need more sox to fill the void.

I'm not familiar with the boot you're looking at but I can tell you that Cabelas looks after their customers very well. Granted, their stuff generally costs a few dollars more, but everything they sell has Cabelas satisfaction guarantee. I've returned waders (after 3 years), boots (after 2 years), scope (4 years) and the list goes on. On a few occasions they even paid for the return shipping.

If you have boot sizing questions, consider calling their customer service dept.

[frenchbar]

Not to sure on their boots but if ya order gloves and you useualy take a large get the extra large .

They told me I could send back the boots if they didn`t fit, just don`t wear them outside. You`d probably pay the shipping but I bet they would pay the shipping to send you another size. I called about a broken pack that was two years old and they said they would look at it, ended up with a brand new one and they didn`t charge me a penny.

[boxhitch]

Sure they have great customer service, but its the shipping that kills any bargains. They don't cover customs charges. X2 for returns and exchanges

[GrandA]

hm, i thought they were based in canada? custom charges?? thanks for the info

If you are on a budget,shop in the bargain cave section on the Cabelas website.Ive just purchased a pair of boots from Cabelas normally I wear a 10 but went with a 9.5 all they worked out great 1000gram Irish Setter $69.00 best boots Ive ever owned.

I also bought a pair of Cabelas boots years ago, service was great - shipped out in good time but the boots didn't make it through a season, broke down on an elk hunt. Get what you pay for in that field, having said that, I bought a pair of Rocky's as a back up last year and ended up wearing them most of the year, still in decent shape and I have to say that if your on a budget, you can't beat them. Kenetrek when you can afford them is also a good choice.

hm, ill check out the "bargain bin" good suggestion. open sights, what part of the boot broke down?

I bought a pair of the 1000gram cabelas brand boots over a year ago, and have done a lot of hiking/hunting in them. Excellent boot for the money, comfortable, fairly light, nice and warm with 1 pair of wool socks.

I still have them, waterproofing was the first thing to go, then the leather stretched out, when soaked. I wear them around when it's dry out, not a total right off.

[boxhitch]

hm, i thought they were based in canada? custom charges?? thanks for the infoyes,They have a new outlet in Canada, I still am not used to thinking about that. So it depends where you shop.

[RJ]

i agree with the "get what ya pay for". if you have to buy new boots in a year or two you haven't saved any money at all
