Hi guys,

I am having a really difficult time trying to figure out quoddy sizing. I have checked all the big threads, but I still am not sure how sizing works on these so maybe someone with some experience with the Quoddy Grizzly boot from JCrew might be able to help out because that is the one I intend to purhcase. I wear size 10 in mainstream brands like Timberland (a bit loose), Nike, Sperry Top-Siders (a bit loose), a size 9 in Chucks with a snug fit and 9.5 Clarks Desert Boots. Would I size up half or go true to size on the Quoddys? If there is another thread where this has been answered please feel free to direct me there.

Thanks,

from what you have described i would go with a 9.5, unless you are getting the lined grizzly's. if you look on the quoddy site they provide sizing information. these types of shoes fit a lot of people different because there simply a piece of leather around your foot and dont have a lot of lining inside the shoe, so i dont think there is a sure fire way to size on these. you might also want to measure your foot and order that size.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help. I was thinking you guys would recommend a Size 10 because reading through some of the threads I got the impression they might be half a size small. But, if you guys have some experience with them and feel they are TTS then I will stick with that.

Thanks again and Merry Christmas,

i would go to your local athletic shoe retailer or something along those line and measure your foot on a brannock and then convert that off the chart they provide.

this is why there is so much confusion on sizing with these shoes. yes, every ones foot is a little different but you want to order your measured foot size. if you have narrow feet then order a narrow width. i wouldnt recommend going a size down.

Right, ok. Yeah, I have not heard anything consistent on the sizing. J Crew's site says size up half.

Maybe I should send a labelled sketch of my foot to Quoddy in addition to getting measured. Thanks for the help fellas. Btw, whatever123 how did you size on them compared to say the Sperry Top Sider Boat Shoe, RW or Clarks DBs?

Cheers,

yeah, sizing is all fucked up with these shoes. the problem is everyone has a different foot and we each have our own sense of what "fitting" means so i dont ******* know. sorry! anyway, i dont have any sperrys, clarks, and whats a "db?" i dont think i have a db either. i do, however, have a pair of rw wabasha's on order that i should have tomorrow, which i sized down a half size. i mainly wear yuketens and quoddy shoes. edit: O ... you said clark DB. sorry, n/m. but no, i have no clarks DBs.

if your a 9 in yuketen you will most certainly be a 9 in quoddy, not a 9.5 like i originally thought you might be. im the same in both, however, my quoddys fit just a tad larger ... but its not enough to go +/- a size. most people wouldnt even notice the difference. yup, i sold them a couple weeks ago. sorry!
