Frequently Asked Questions

Sizing & Fit

Does your clothing run true to size?
Most of our apparel runs true to size, but fit varies by brand and by category — When you land on a product page, check the size guide link and garment measurements before ordering; if a brand runs noticeably small, large, or needs sizing guidance, we'll flag it directly in the product description. If you're between sizes or unsure, email us at info@stompingground.ca with your measurements and we'll help you get it right the first time.

How does footwear sizing work across your brands?
Footwear sizing isn't standardized between brands — a European size 42 fits differently in Paraboot than it does in Kleman.  If you are curious about how a brand fits, email us at info@stompingground.ca and we will help provide some insight/comparison’s.

Are all your shoes in men’s sizing?
Most of our shoes are in men’s sizing however we do have a few women’s footwear options. Women’s footwear options will have a W beside the size (example, 7W) or will have a W / Women’s next to the product name.
