What is Calf Width?
Measuring is knowing! The calf width of a boot is the circumference of your calf at the point where the boot ends. Knowing this is crucial when searching for boots that fit perfectly. Whether you have narrow or wide calves, we offer boots in every calf width, ranging from XS and Small for slimmer legs to XXXL for wider calves. This ensures you'll always find boots that match your calf width perfectly.
Calf Width in Boots
When ordering women’s boots online, it’s essential to know how to measure your calf width properly. The calf width determines how well the boot fits around your calf, significantly impacting both comfort and style.
At JJ Footwear, we offer an extensive selection of boots with variable calf widths, allowing you to find the perfect fit for women with narrow or wide calves. By measuring your calf width correctly, you can avoid ordering boots that are too tight or too loose around your calves.
How to Measure the Calf Width of a Boot
Many women face this common issue: the boot fits perfectly around the foot but doesn’t fit snugly around the calves. You can easily avoid this by measuring your calf circumference correctly. Follow these steps to measure the calf width of a boot:
- Sit Down: This is crucial, as your calf circumference may change slightly when standing. Measuring while seated ensures the boot will fit properly.
- Measure the Widest Part of Your Calf: This is usually the broadest point of your calf, just below the knee.
- Keep the Measuring Tape Tight, But Not Too Tight: Make sure the tape fits snugly without digging into your skin.
- Measure Both Calves: Use the circumference of the larger calf for the most accurate fit.
What is Shaft Height?
When purchasing your new boots online, shaft height is another essential factor. Shaft height is measured from the top of the heel to the top of the boot shaft at the back. Only the shaft height is measured, excluding the heel height. This determines how far the boot reaches up your leg and how it fits around your calf. A high-shaft boot, such as an over-the-knee boot, extends further up your leg, while a knee-high boot has a shorter shaft height. Choosing the right shaft height is important for both the appearance and comfort of your boots.
How to Measure Shaft Height
It’s essential to measure your shaft height correctly when looking for boots that fit perfectly. Don’t worry, it’s easy! Here’s how to do it:
- Stand Upright: Make sure you’re standing straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and your legs fully extended.
- Measure to the Desired Height: Use a measuring tape to measure from the bottom of your heel to where you want the boots to end. This is usually just below the knee or slightly higher, depending on the style of boot you’re looking for.
With these simple steps, you’ll know exactly which size you need, ensuring boots that fit perfectly and look amazing!
