One of the classic footwear options for both men and women are boots. A distinctive feature of this wardrobe element is their special shape and structure.
Any model of boots consists of a base: a sole, a front part and a back with a heel. A boot is attached to the base, which encircles the shin along the entire circumference of the legs. Actually, that is why this part of the shoe got its name.
Thanks to the huge assortment, on store shelves you can find models made from various materials, all colors, styles, and sizes.
If you can choose the model yourself based on color and shape, according to individual preferences, then the choice of size plays an important role. And here you can’t do without special tables.
In addition to the foot, special attention should be paid to the girth of the boot.. After all, only correctly selected parameters will allow the boot to sit beautifully on your foot without causing discomfort.
In this article we will discuss measurement rules and teach you how to determine the width of the boot.
How is the boot shaft measured?
For any boot, there are usually two sizes by which you should choose shoes to make them comfortable.
One of them is height. This parameter is not fundamentally important; it is selected according to personal preferences and taste. There are boots of low, medium and high length.
The most important parameter will be the width of the boot. It should fit the leg comfortably, not squeeze it, and not cause pain.. But at the same time should not hang freely, as this leads to incorrect wearing and rapid wear of the shoes.
The width of the boot corresponds to the diameter of the leg at the top point of the boot adjacent to the leg. The girth is obtained by doubling the width.
The minimum volume of the leg in the lower part of the lower leg is often measured.
Take all the necessary measurements using a measuring tape, remember them and use them when shopping for new clothes.
IMPORTANT! Currently, there are options with insertable elastic, which tends to stretch and take the desired size.
In this case, manufacturers indicate the minimum and maximum values that the shoe accepts in girth.
Correlation between shaft and shoe size
Experts have developed tables that correspond to the tops of different shoe sizes.
Unfortunately, size charts are not always available. Usually no one carries them with them to the store, so you should remember and keep in mind all the ratios. But this is quite difficult, especially when new information constantly appears in your head.
That's why for convenience, you should fix one size and remember the calculation principle.
REFERENCE. With a foot size of 37, the width of the boot will be 33 cm, and the height will be 5 cm greater relative to the width.
When decreasing or increasing the size by one, the length and width respectively become 0.5 cm larger or smaller from the original example.
Choose the right shoes, and they will serve you for a long time, maintaining their quality and beautiful appearance.
