Laurentian Chief Men's Footwear Sizing Guide

Use this guide to find your best fit for Laurentian Chief Men's Footwear style.

Embrace the tradition of Canadian craftsmanship with Laurentian Chief at Wei’s Western Wear. Handcrafted by Eugène Cloutier in Quebec since 1945, Laurentian Chief’s sizing philosophy is based on an "Organic Fit" that honors ancestral Amerindian traditions. Unlike rigid industrial footwear, these pieces are designed to act as a second skin. Whether you are relaxing in the Laurentian Chief Men’s Sheepskin Moccasin Slippers or wearing the Laurentian Chief Padded Leather Sole Moccasins, the premium moosehide and cowhide materials are chosen for their ability to stretch and mold to the unique contours of your feet, providing a personalized fit that only improves with time.

A unique fit characteristic of Laurentian Chief footwear is that it is typically only available in whole sizes. A common sizing concern for Wei’s customers is the "half-size gap." Because the natural leathers are supple and designed to expand, the general rule is to size down to the nearest whole size if you are between sizes (e.g., if you wear a 10.5, order a size 10). However, if you plan to wear thick wool socks with your Sheepskin Slippers, staying at the next size up may provide the extra volume needed. Since these moccasins often feature adjustable rawhide laces, you can easily fine-tune the tension around the foot for a secure, "Wei's approved" fit that balances luxury with authentic heritage.
