The Fit
Fit is the whole point.
Fontleroy boots are cut to a calf measurement, not only a shoe size. Find your number, choose your collection, and ask us anything you want settled before you order.
Find your number
- 1Sit and bend your knee to a right angle.
- 2Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your calf, snug but not tight.
- 3Write the number down in inches. That is your calf measurement.
Two collections, two exact measurements
| Autograph | Prelude | |
|---|---|---|
| Calf | 18 inch | 19 inch |
| Sizes | 6 to 11 | 8 to 11 |
| Closure | Pull on | Zipper |
| Shaft | 17.5 inch with V | 14.5 inch |
| Heel | 3.75 inch | 3.75 inch |
| Sits | At the knee | Just below the knee |
Autograph welcomes calves from 14 to 18 inches and Prelude welcomes calves from 14 to 19 inches, with a little more ease through the shaft the smaller you go. If your measurement sits close to the line between the two collections, our Fit Guidance below will settle it.
Length and foot
Fontleroy boots run true to length. Order your usual US size, and size up if you fall between sizes. A wider base is built in through the ball of the foot, though these are not Wide Width boots.

Fit questions
What if my calf measures under 18 or 19 inches?
Autograph is built for an 18 inch calf and fits wide calves from 14 to 18 inches. Prelude is built for a 19 inch calf and fits wide calves from 14 to 19 inches. Below the top of each range, you gain a little more ease through the shaft.
What is the difference between Autograph and Prelude?
Both share a wider base through the ball of the foot and a tailored ankle that sits close. Autograph is cut for an 18 inch calf, pulls on, and sits at the knee. Prelude is cut for a 19 inch calf, closes with a zipper, and sits just below the knee.
