These fittings charts are for guidance only - each soldier must decide which fitting and size is best for him/her by trying on the boot.
How to Use the Size Adjustment Spacer in the MOD Issue Boots
ALWAYS FULLY UNLACE THE BOOTS WHEN TAKING OFF AND PUTTING ON DO NOT FORCE THE FOOT IN, OR OUT OF THE BOOT – THIS COULD DAMAGE THE BOOT ALWAYS USE A LACING GAP ACROSS THE FLEX OF THE TONGUE – THE BOOTS ARE CORRECTLY LACED WHEN YOU FIRST RECEIVE THEM
Boot and Foot Hygeine
- Wash spacers and footbeds with luke warm water (do not exceed 30°C)
- Scrub gently and allow to dry naturally
- Do not force dry, or expose to heat (including radiators)
- Footbeds and spacers should be washed at least monthly, but if boots are worn all day, every day, then more frequent washing may be required
