When choosing shoes for all seasons or just for winter, you need to take into account a significant number of factors, this is especially true when buying boots. In order for a pair to please you for a long time and be comfortable, you need to decide on your size. You have to take into account not only the size of the foot, but also the volume and height of the boot. Many people don't understand how to do this correctly. To understand where to measure the height of the boot, we offer our help. After reading the article, you will no longer have such questions.
What is a bootleg
This part is a place that starts in the instep and completely covers the lower leg. The models presented today vary, so they also have different heights. Not everyone knows how to measure it correctly. There is a popular myth that you need to do this at the back by placing a ribbon at the base of the apron. Wrong opinion.
MUST BE CONSIDERED. Pairs of shoes with different sizes will also have different shafts. It's worth keeping this in mind when purchasing.However, changes in this indicator will not change much. It is quite difficult to notice it with the naked eye - only 3 mm. But, nevertheless, despite small deviations, the parameter is still worth taking into account.
How is the height of the boot shaft measured?
Find the middle of the shoe arch, then attach one of the ends of the tape measure. Preferably, immediately under the sole. The tape measure must be pulled vertically, along the outer component. It is necessary to measure to the top of the product. This way you will find the overall height of the boots.
IMPORTANT. In the USA, most often, all sizes are described in inches; they are used even if this figure is more than a foot. When buying shoes, consider this fact.
The cuff height information does not include the heel. Most manufacturers do this. However, there is still a chance that a number of stores will still have boot-high heels. It is best to clarify the question when purchasing.
Should heel height be taken into account?
As stated in the paragraphs above, now almost no one takes into account the height of the heel. The chance of meeting a manufacturer who does things differently is no more than 6–8%. When selecting, clarify this issue to avoid further problems. If you do not have the opportunity to ask, then measure the height of the boot, and then calculate whether the heel length remains or not.
Standard boot shaft heights
General measurements will help you. If you don’t understand how you can measure the boot yourself, its height, then simply note the style of the boots or watch training lessons. There are several types:
Consider the standards for size 8.5.
- The shaft ranges from 3-8 inches. When converted to centimeters – 7.5 and 20.
- If the shoes are mid-calf, then the indicator is from 8.30 to 13.15. 21.5 and 34 cm.
- If the boots are knee-high, the shaft is more than 14 inches.
You can choose the appropriate boot size based on the size of the shoe itself. Standard size is 8.5. If you choose a smaller size, the boot will be shorter, otherwise everything is also clear.
How to choose the best option
Of course, every woman wants to buy herself practical, warm, demi-season shoes. However, one of the most important factors she pays attention to is aesthetic appearance. As practice shows, boots are the most difficult to choose. Over time, housewives have found several rules that allow them to put on their shoes beautifully and practically.
The human brain always receives information coming from the eyes slightly distorted. This feature should be made your “ally”. You can make your leg visually longer using vertical decor. If you wear boots with protruding trim, your feet will become much smaller in size. A wide freebie is not suitable for slender women. If you're overweight, you'll have to find shoes with a wide top so that it doesn't pinch your calves.
It is now generally accepted that boots with a medium shaft height are a universal model.
A few words about measurements
One of the main problems of our time is different sizes. For example, the size charts of America, Europe and Russia are different, so when ordering from an online store it is so important to know the country in which the product was produced. Typically, this question is answered by the site's technical support. If you want a quick answer, please call. Typically, it is indicated either at the bottom or at the top of the page. When buying shoes online, you should be extremely careful, otherwise the chance of receiving unnecessary goods increases.
It is also important to take into account that in the USA there are other measurement systems.In Europe and Asia, centimeters are used, while in the United States, inches are used. Therefore, you should always transfer from one system to another if you want to buy shoes in America.
ON A NOTE! 1 inch = 2.54 (can be rounded to 2.5 cm).
