BOOT FIT GUIDE
MEASURING BOOT SHAFT HEIGHT

We provide boot shaft, calf circumference and heel height measurements as taken from size 8.5 boots. Measurements will vary slightly than what is stated on the product pages for sizes smaller or larger than 8.5. We measure the boot shaft height from the bottom of the foot to the top of the boot.

Use a flexible measuring tape to measure the length of your leg from the bottom of your heel to just below your kneecap, then compare your measurements with the boot measurements to see how the boot will fit.
