When purchasing demi-season or winter shoes, you need to pay attention to several important parameters so as not to make a mistake with your choice. In order for shoes to function for a long time and be comfortable to use, it is important to choose their size rationally.
To do this, in addition to the length of the insole, you should also take into account the volume and height of the boot.
Definition
The shaft is the part of the boot that starts from the instep and fits the lower leg of the human leg. Various models can differ significantly from each other, including in the height of this part.
Two absolutely identical pairs, different in size, will have different bootleg heights.
It is difficult to see this difference with the naked eye, since it is only 3 mm, but in some cases even such a small indicator can have considerable weight.
How tall is the boot?
There are an impressive number of models of similar shoes, varying in shaft height:
- ankle boots (cover the leg to the middle of the shin);
- knee-high models (the most common option);
- high-top productscovering the knee (over the knee boots).
Reference! To measure the height of the boot, you need to place the boot on a suitable flat surface. A metal ruler must be inserted inside the product and pressed against the seam located inside from the bottom of the boot. This will become the starting point for measurement. The end point is the edge of the product that encircles the calf.
The measurement results will be useful more than once when choosing appropriate products.
An important parameter of boots
In addition to the height of the boot, you should be able to determine its volume. Such shoes will be comfortable only if they are chosen in accordance with the fullness of the lower leg and fit well enough in the instep.
The last parameter is measured in the toe part of the boots. You should find the widest part of the foot and measure it to the nearest millimeter. If the shoes are too narrow, they will be cold and uncomfortable, since proper blood circulation will be disrupted and movement will be difficult.
To measure the width of the product, it is necessary to determine the circumference of the lower leg in its fullest part. (the girth of the boot is equal to its width multiplied by 2). The importance of this parameter is difficult to overestimate, since in some cases there is a disproportion between the volume of the leg and the length of the foot.
Eg, if the shoes are size 37-38, it may not fit due to the fullness of the legs (the boot just won’t fit). Therefore, not every representative of the fair sex is able to afford to flaunt in elegant boots.
Advice! It is best to measure the width of the boot in the evening.
How to choose the right boots?
Classic models include a boot that tightly grips the surface of the leg, but you always need to take into account the features of your figure in order to choose the most suitable option (photo).
To ensure that the selected shoes are as comfortable to use as possible., you must adhere to the following recommendations during the selection process:
- For legs with full calves, it is recommended to purchase models that are slightly higher than the middle of the calves. It is necessary to avoid products that tightly clasp the leg, the upper edge of which ends above the shin. In such shoes, your legs will appear even fuller and more massive.
- Boots that are too wide are not suitable for legs with thin calves. Visually, this will make your legs even thinner.
- For those with short legs, models with voluminous horizontal decor or trimmed with fur are not suitable. This visually reduces height and deprives the figure of proportionality.
Important! Boot models that are below the knee length are equally suitable for girls with both thin and full legs. The main thing is that there should be no decorations in the form of horizontal stripes on the tops of boots. This will visually widen the leg even more.

Beat boots with a short shaft reaching to mid-calf, so that the image with them looks as harmonious as possible, the following wardrobe items will help:
- tight leggings, visually increasing the length of the boot;
- leggings or tight jeans, matched to the shoes;
- dresses, short skirts and shorts.
Midi skirts and breeches should be avoided.
Choosing products with medium length shaft, it is useful to know some nuances. For thin representatives of the fair sex, narrow models will be the best choice, while they are not recommended to wear loose tops (especially with thin stockings and transparent tights).
Vertical lacing, zippers and prints These shoes make your legs visually slimmer and longer. Ladies with wide calves should avoid overly narrow boots. They will draw attention to the shortcomings and will put too much pressure on the legs, causing noticeable discomfort.
Over the knee boots are not for everyone. When choosing such shoes, it is recommended to take into account the following recommendations:
- if the lower part of the figure is noticeably shorter than the upper, boots will make this feature more expressive;
- short ladies can use such boots only if they have completely slender and straight legs;
- girls with full hips You should avoid tight-fitting boots, which may restrict them too much.
The boot can have a significant impact on the visual perception of the figure. For this reason, the choice of such shoes must be treated very carefully.
