 |  | How to measure your leg height
· Sit on a seat with your knee at 90 degrees and your foot flat on the floor.
· Place the end of the tape measure touching the floor and the bottom of your heel.
Measure straight up the back of your leg to the given boot height measurement. This
will give you the approximate place that the boot will sit on your leg, (please note the
boot should not sit right in the crease of the knee as this would be uncomfortable
when the knee is bent).
Tips:
· Some styles have a small elastic section at the top of the boot that allows at least 1cm
stretch.
· If you regularly wear tights or long socks with boots, wear them when you measure.
Similarly if you plan to wear trousers tucked into your boots, wear trousers when you
measure to ensure the fit is generous enough to accommodate them.
· Boot height is the distance in a straight line from the bottom of your foot at the heel to
the top of our boot. The height of our knee-length boots increases slightly with the
shoe size, calf size and style of boot.
· Narrow heels - when buying a pair of boots or shoes with a narrow heel, the pressure
exerted on the heel is significant and the heavier the wearer, the quicker the rubber
‘heel tip’ will wear out. If you plan to wear narrow heeled boots/shoes over extended
periods of time, be aware that you will need to replace the heel tips regularly and
before the tips wear completely.
· Pointed styles - these boots or shoes can wear more quickly at the toe-piece. The tips
should be replaced when they begin to look worn.
· Ankles - expect your boots to wrinkle around the ankle over time. There needs to be
space between your ankle and the boot to allow for freedom of movement. If they
were made too tight in this area they would not be wearable.
How to measure your feet…
Take a fabric tape measure and place it on the floor cm side down
· Put your foot flat and stand firmly on the tape measure.
· Measure around the circumference of your foot at its widest point. This is usually
from the bone just below your big toe, to the bone below your little toe (The tape
measure should be at a slight angle).
· Make a note of your measurement. Foot size can vary, so please measure both feet
and use the wider measurement.
· If you usually wear socks or tights with your shoes, wear them when you measure
your foot width. |
