KAMIK Size Guide
Kamik Size Guide — Winter Boots, Rain Boots & Après-Ski
Founded in 1898 in Quebec (Canada), Kamik is a Canadian family business that has been making winter boots, rain boots, and après-ski boots for over 125 years. Known for the quality of its removable liners (made from recycled plastics), its self-cleaning GripXT soles, and its extreme cold insulation technologies (−40°C on some models), Kamik offers ranges for Men, Women, and Children. This guide helps you find the right size before ordering on Alpinstore.

Summary — Kamik Size Guide
Alpinstore Return Prevention Tips — Kamik Boots
- Kamik fits true to size — official message from Kamik FAQ: “Kamik shoes fit true to size, both for children and adults. We recommend starting with your usual size.”
- With thick socks or if in doubt: Kamik officially recommends “taking the next size up” if you often wear thick socks (especially with winter boots) or if you hesitate between two sizes.
- US system + half sizes available: Kamik uses the American (US) system as the main reference. EU equivalents are available on each product sheet. Kamik offers half sizes on most adult ranges.
- Removable liners: most Kamik boots have a removable felt or foam liner. A new liner, when cold, may feel slightly tight — it will stretch with wear. If you wear a new liner with thick socks, go up half a size.
- Children: measure your child's foot and add 1 to 1.5 cm (about 1 size) for growth. Kamik offers a printable measuring tool on its official website.
Part 1 — Size Principles, Measurement & Kamik Technologies
1. Kamik Size Principle
Official Kamik Advice (Kamik FAQ)
“Kamik shoes fit true to size, both for children and adults. Therefore, we recommend starting with your usual size. If you hesitate between two sizes or often wear thick socks (especially with winter boots), opt for the next size up for more comfort.”
Kamik Size System
Kamik uses US sizes as the main reference (size printed on the box and boot). EU sizes are the equivalents indicated for the European market. Kamik offers half sizes on most adult ranges (6, 6.5, 7, 7.5...).
Removable Liners
Kamik liners (made of felt or foam) are removable and replaceable. A new liner may feel tighter when cold — it will soften with wear. Kamik offers replacement liners for several models via its official website.
2. How to Measure Your Foot — Official Kamik Method
Official Kamik Method
- Place a flat sheet of paper on the floor against a wall.
- Stand on the paper, heel firmly against the wall.
- Make a mark at the tip of the longest toe.
- Remove your foot and the paper.
- Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (where the heel was) to the mark.
- Repeat for both feet. Use the larger measurement.
Practical Tips
- Measure at the end of the day (feet swell).
- Wear the socks intended for use during measurement.
- For children: Kamik offers a printable measuring tool on its site (eu.kamik.com/pages/kamik-kids-measuring-tool).
- If in doubt between two sizes: take the larger size.

10. FAQ — Kamik Size Guide
Do Kamik boots run large or small?
Kamik officially states in its FAQ that its shoes “fit true to size.” Your usual size is suitable. If you wear thick socks or hesitate between two sizes, take the next size up. The extreme cold boots (Icebreaker, Rogue) are designed to be worn with thick socks — the thick felt liner already represents about 1 cm of internal volume.
Are Kamik liners replaceable?
Yes — Kamik offers replacement liners for several models of Women's, Men's, and Children's boots, available directly on kamik.com. Kamik officially states that you should ensure to order the liner specifically designed for the boot style in question. For any questions, Kamik recommends sending a photo of the boots to be directed to the correct liner.
What is the difference between US and EU sizes at Kamik?
Kamik is a Canadian brand that uses the American (US) system as a reference. For the same EU size, the US size differs between Men and Women: EU 40 = US 7 Men's but US 9 Women's. Always use the chart in this guide starting from your usual EU size, or measure your foot in cm and compare with the “Foot Length” column.
How can I recycle my old Kamik boots?
Kamik offers a recycling program for over 20 models of shoes. To check if your boots are included, visit the recycling page on kamik.com. If the model is eligible, you need to send a request with the product name, a photo, and your address. This is one of the brand's flagship eco-responsible initiatives, which has recycled over 15 million plastic bottles in the last 5 years.
How to choose the right Kamik size for my child?
Measure your child's foot (heel against the wall, mark the longest toe, measure the distance). Add 10 to 15 mm for growth margin — about 1 full size. Do not exceed 15 mm of space, as a foot that “floats” in the boot reduces stability and control. Kamik also offers a printable measuring tool for children on its official site (eu.kamik.com/pages/kamik-kids-measuring-tool).
