Your hunt for good boots is on, but none seem to suit you. Either they’re too tight around the calves or too narrow around the toes. So what are you doing wrong? Getting the right measurements are important. Here are some suggestions to get the right fit and size with your boots:

17” circumference boot

In the winter, wet weather conditions coupled with ill-fitting boots could chafe your feet to leave them bruised and raw. I remember wearing the wrong kind that was narrow around my feet and agony on my feet. A year later, my feet and my toes still ache at times, courtesy those shoes. If your feet or calves are wide, you need to look for 17” circumference boots or maybe even more, depending on your feet and calves size.

Specific measurements

Go with accurate and specific numerical measurements for your boots. Don’t go with standard 14” circumference measurements. Try them out for comfort and walk around for a while to make sure the boots fit you well. Spicy Cognac women’s faux leather boots with buckled strap accents on the top are easy to pull on and comfortable because of the 17” circumference on the top. Morgan tall boots in distressed leather with buckle detailing have wide calf or wide shaft with a circumference of 17½”.
