GriSport fit and sizing
GriSport makes several wider-fit boots, including the Glencoe and Kratos Hi, and the Peaklander is slightly wider than most. Check the size chart on each product page. The insoles are removable, so you can replace them once worn or add your own orthotics. If you are between sizes, or plan to wear thick walking socks, size up. Read our wide fit walking boots guide and how to break in walking boots.
How to care for GriSport boots
- Brush off dry mud, then wipe with a damp cloth.
- Remove the insoles and dry the boots naturally, away from radiators and fires.
- Re-proof leather and nubuck with a suitable wax or conditioner.
- Store them somewhere cool and dry.

GriSport FAQs
Are GriSport boots waterproof?
The GriSport boots and shoes we stock have a waterproof, breathable lining, such as the Spo-tex membrane, so they keep water out while letting moisture escape. Check each product page for details.
Who makes GriSport boots?
GriSport is an Italian brand, and several of its styles, such as the Lady Santa Fe and Lady Atlanta, are made in Italy.
Do GriSport boots have Vibram soles?
Many do, including the Tornado, Bolzano, Fuse, Dartmoor and the ladies' Glide and Atlanta. Check each listing.
Which GriSport boot is best for wide feet?
The Glencoe and Kratos Hi are wider-fitting boots, and the Peaklander is slightly wider than the others.
Are GriSport boots comfortable straight out of the box?
GriSport designs its boots to be comfortable from the start, with padded collars and cushioned mid-soles, though it still helps to wear new boots around the house before a long walk.
