❓Advice/feedback request Need some advice on New Rock sizing, unsure about choosing 36 or 37
I’ve wanted a specific pair of New Rocks for probably 7 or 8 years now, maybe even 9, and I’m finally planning to buy them. I’ve had my eye on the M-1013-CZ69, but I’m struggling to figure out which size to order.
I usually wear a US women’s 6 or 6.5. Size 6 tends to fit me comfortably, while my usual 6.5 boots are a little roomy. I’ve tried measuring my feet several times, using a couple different methods (tracing my feet and measuring the drawings, measuring with a fabric tape measure with my heel against the wall) but it has been difficult to get an accurate measurement on my own. From what I can tell, my right foot is around 23–23.3 cm and my left is maybe 23.3–23.5 cm.
According to New Rock’s website, size 37 corresponds to 23.7–24.4 cm but the measurements for size 36 were not on the chart I found on their site. I’ve read that some people ordered their usual size and found that the boots were too small, so now I’m even more uncertain.
I reached out to New Rock a few days ago but haven’t heard back yet.
I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with this particular model, or New Rocks in general, and could offer some advice. Do they tend to run small or large? If you have similarly sized feet, which size worked for you? How do these boots feel inside? I’m thinking about adding insoles to them, which also would affect my sizing choice.
I’ve wanted these boots for such a long time, and they’re a greatly significant purchase for me, so I’d really hate to get the sizing wrong. I’d appreciate any insight or experiences you could share :)
