How to Measure Size for a Mid-Calf Boot

Mid-calf boots are trendy, stylish and make ensembles pop. Getting a good fit that doesn’t feel too loose or too tight, however, can be quite the challenge. Fortunately, there are some tips that can help ensure the perfect size is selected even if an order is placed online.

Those on the hunt for an awesome pair of mid-calf boots will want to consider these tips when selecting products made by Sanita or other high-quality manufacturers:

•    Start by measuring the calf – Before selecting mid-calf boot designs, have a good handle on the type of boots that make the best choice for calf size. Use a cloth measuring tape to obtain the circumference of the calf at its fullest part. A wide calf is considered one that is 16 inches or more in circumference. Narrow calves tend to measure less than about 14 inches. People who fall in between may find they are comfortable in a diversity of styles.

•    Select boots that are appropriate for calf size – People with wide calves are likely to find that boots that are made with stretchy uppers and those that have functional laces and or buckles make the best choices. Those with elastic goring to provide some give for calf circumference may also be suitable. People with narrow calves will find that many well-known manufacturers make a diversity of designs that are intended specifically to fit wearers with slender legs. If a product description isn’t clear, either contact the retailer to ask questions or look for boots that offer adjustable features to provide a snug, but comfortable fit.

•    Be sure to consider the material used in the uppers – Boots that are crafted with supple leather or suede in the uppers may provide some give if calves are a little wider. While it might take a breaking-in period, the end result should be a highly comfortable fit if basic shoe size requirements are addressed.

Mid-calf boots are an ideal choice for many ensembles. Making sure the fit is a good one, however, demands attention to detail. When a fit that isn’t too snug or too loose is required, be sure to consider the best options for calf size.
