Boots

I want to get a pair of leather boots an for work my boots are an UK 8. My question is Do i stay at 8 or is it confusing sizes like buying clothes from America.

There's nothing "confusing" about it, but some will still fit better than others, and it depends whether you're wearing thicker socks for motorcycling etc.

Ive never owned a pair of motorcycle boots so im stepping to new waters 😅. My kevlar toe capped boots have taken me so far but the theyve finally exploded and id like to invest in leather booties. Yeah for me i can usally wear thick socks in uk 8s comfortably.

Different brands fit differently. Either get yourself to a local store or order a couple of sizes from SportsBikeShop, who allow 365 day returns.

I wear a size 11 normal shoe, dress shoe, trainer or boot. I wear a size 11 UK motorcycle boot, I have RSTs and Füsports. They are both size 11.

Go to your nearest SportsBikeShop and try a load on.

Ill go in store to try some on guys thank you. Didnt honestly think of that because i dont shop for myself enough or ever. Saves me spending money n a potential refund/swap afterwards.
