Measuring Guide Instructions

HOW DO I TAKE MY OWN MEASUREMENTS?

When buying a custom-made boot, one of the most important things you’ll need to do is taking accurately measurements.

When taking the measurements be sure to:

  • Send all the measurements in Cm (Centimeters);
  • Wear your suit or something similar (Especially if it have padded calves);
  • Ask someone to take the measurements to you;
  • PLEASE, don’t add any room.

STEP ONE – FOOT LENGHT

Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall. Put your foot on the sheet of paper with your heel touching the wall. Stand up straight and balanced on both of your feet.

STEP TWO – FOOT LENGHT

Have a friend draw a line tracing your foot. You can do this yourself, but you risk a slightly less accurate measurement.

STEP THREEFOOT LENGHT

Measure the maximum length of both of your feet. The length of the longer foot will be decisive for determining what shoe size you need. And don’t forget: All the measurements in CM PLEASE!

STEP FOUR – FOOT WIDTH

Measure the width of your feet parallel to the short edge of the sheet of paper. So do not measure the width diagonally from widest point to widest point, that will skew the result not precise.

STEP FIVE – CALF CIRCUMFERENCE

Sit on a chair and hold your bare foot down, holding your leg folded to 90 degrees, in this position with the tape measure the circumference of the calf at its widest point, laying the tape on your skin without tightening. Measure the circumference of both your legs, always consider the widest of measurements in case of differences.

STEP SIX – ANKLE CIRCUMFERENCE

Measure around the narrowest part of the ankle, which is normally just above the ankle bone.

STEP SEVEN – CALF HEIGHT

Sit on a chair and hold your naked foot on the ground, holding your leg folded to 90 degrees, with the tape measure the external side of the calf, starting from the base of the foot to the bend of your knee.

Put your finger right behind your knee and make sure the measure you consider for your calf height is not higher than that.
