Note: Spur's are only made in 3 sizes; Men's, Youth/Ladies and
Childrens.
Men's cowboy spurs and straps generally fit men's boot size 6 to 13 and
ladies boot sizes 7 and up.
Youth/Ladies cowboy spurs and straps
generally fit Children age 6 and up, youth sizes, and ladies size 7 and
smaller.
Children cowboy spurs and straps generally fit small
children up to age 6.
Spurs cannot always be adjusted by hand. Many times you must use
tools. Hammers or rubber mallets can be used to narrow the inside heel
width. Farrier tools like shoe spreaders or hoof nippers work well to widen
the inside heel. Always adjust the spurs a slight amount at a time, using as
little force as possible. Spurs made out of pot metal cannot be adjusted
unless they are heated. Aluminum western spurs break easily, so be very
careful when adjusting them. Warm metal will have less breakage and bend
easier than cold metal.
Cowboy spurs should fit snug, but not too
tight on your boots. You can adjust the inside heel width of the spurs.
Western spur straps are also very adjustable and you can usually punch a
extra hole or two in the strap to make them fit a smaller foot. Tall long
legged cowboys need longer shanks, and larger rowels. Short legged cowboys
need short shank spurs and small rowels.
