Как изменить высоту голенища сапога

1. 

   1

   Определите вал голенища. Вал голенища относится к части сапога, которая возвышается над вашей ногой и над икрой.

   • Когда вы видите только измерения для голенища, можно с уверенностью предположить, что измерение относится к высоте голенища, а не к окружности.

2. 

   2

   Измеряйте по дуге верхней части голенища. Поместите один конец рулетки в середину сапожной арки, прямо над подошвой. Протяните рулетку вертикально вдоль внешней части, пока не дойдете до самой вершины голенища. Эта длина будет вашей высотой голенища сапога.^[1]
   

   • Следует отметить, что в Соединенных Штатах, размеры голенища сапога описаны в дюймах, даже когда голенище выходит за пределы фута в высоту.
   • Когда производитель дает высоту голенища сапога, высота каблука обычно не включается в это измерение. Существует еще риск, что некоторые магазины будут включать высоту каблука как часть высоты голенища, тем не менее, вы можете выбросить это измерение полностью. При покупке пары сапог попробуйте проверить, остается ли высота каблука вне измерения голенища.

   Знайте несколько общих измерений. Если вы не в состоянии измерить голенище, вы можете оценить, насколько высоким оно может быть, просто отмечая стиль сапог.

   • Сапог женский для размера 8,5: ^[2]
     
     • Голенище в диапазоне между 3 и 8 дюймами (7,6 и 20,3 см).
     • Сапог до середины икры, голенище в диапазоне между 8,25 и 13,25 дюйма (21 и 33,7 см).
     • Сапоги до колена, голенище может быть 13,5 дюйма (34,3 см) или выше.
   • Размер голенища может меняться в зависимости от размера сапога. В размере меньше, чем 8,5 будет немного короче голенище, в то время как больший размер будет иметь немного большее голенище. Изменение размера голенища, как правило, примерно равно изменению длины ноги, когда вы сравниваете свой размер с размером сапог 8,5.

   Также учитывайте высоту каблука. Как правило, высота пятки не включена в часть высоты голенища сапога. Это отдельное измерение действительно играет определенную роль в общей высоте сапог.

   • Измерьте высоту каблука, расширяя рулеткой от нижней части пятки до точки, в которой она встречает подошву сапога. Рулеткой измеряйте против центральной части пятки.
   • Общие высоты каблука являются:
     • Плоские каблуки, со средней высотой от 0 до 0,75 дюймов (0 и 1,9 см).
     • Низкие каблуки, со средней высотой от 1 до 1,75 дюймов (2,5 и 4,4 см).
     • Средние каблуки, со средней высотой от 2 до 2,75 дюйма (5 и 7 см).
     • Высокие каблуки, со средней высотой в 3 дюйма (7,6 см) или выше.

   Определите самую широкую часть голенища сапога. Изучите сапог и определите, где расположена широкая часть голенища. Чаще всего, самая широкая часть будет на открытии сапога, но это не всегда так.

   • Следует отметить, что окружность голенища иногда называют «окружностью» или «икры окружности.»

2. 

   2

   Измерьте вокруг этой части голенища сапога. Поместите конец рулетки в точку самой широкой части голенища. Оберните остальную часть рулеткой вокруг голенища, пока она не встретит отправной конец. Посмотрите значение на рулетке в точке пересечения для определения окружности голенища.

   • Убедитесь, что рулетка параллельна земле весь путь вокруг голенища сапога. Если рулетка не параллельна, измерение может получиться значительно меньше.
   • Как с высотой оси, окружность голенища часто измеряется в дюймах при обсуждении размеров сапог в Соединенных Штатах.

   Сядьте в квартире. Сядьте удобно, по крайней мере, одну ногу поставьте на пол. Ваше колено должно быть наклонено на 90 градусов, что делает вашу ногу перпендикулярно полу.^[3]
   

   • Вы также должны расслабить мышцы на ноге, когда будете измерять ее.
   • Приготовьте ногу, которую вам нужно измерить. Подавляющее большинство людей могут обойтись измерением только одной ноги, но если одна из ваших ног немного короче, чем другая, вы можете измерить каждую ногу отдельно.
   • Ваш размер ноги правильный в этом положении и именно поэтому вы должны держать ее так и для вашей высоты икры и измерений окружности.

2. 

   2

   Измеряйте до задней части ноги. Поместите конец мягкой рулетки в нижнюю часть пятки. Протяните рулетку вверх, над задней панелью ноги, пока не достигнете точки чуть ниже коленной чашечки.

   • Вы можете сравнить это измерение высоты икры с измерением высоты голенища сапог. Измерьте высоту сапога рулеткой, прижимая ее к икре.

3.

   Измерьте вокруг икры. Найдите самую широкую часть вашей икры и поместите конец гибкой рулетки там. Оберните рулеткой всю дорогу вокруг икры до пересечения с этой отправной точкой, а затем возьмите это значение.

   • Если вы хотите быть действительно точным, выясните, где в верхней части голенище касается икры, используя измерение высоты голенища и окружности икры в этой точке.
   • Сравните ваше измерение икры на окружности голенища сапога. Если голенище окружности сапога меньше окружности икры, сапог не подойдет. Если точно совпадет, сапог будет соответствовать, но может сидеть немного тесно или плотно. Если голенище больше на 1,5 дюйма (3,8 см) сапог может, в конечном итоге, быть слишком свободным.
   • Окружность голенища сапога может быть на 0,5 дюйма (1,25 см) меньше, чем ваша окружность икры, если материал достаточно эластичный, чтобы растянуться по икре.^[4]
     
   • Идеальным вариантом для вашей окружности голенища было бы от 0,25 до 1 дюйма (от 0,6 до 2,5 см) шире, чем ваша окружность икры.

   Оцените идеальную высоту голенища сапог. По основам подгонки, ваша идеальная высота голенища это всего лишь вопрос личного вкуса и предпочтений. Есть несколько вещей, которые стоит иметь в виду при рассмотрении, какой высоты вы бы хотели голенище.

   • Если голенище определенных сапог заканчивается прямо в складке вашего колена, сядьте и сожмите кожу, проверьте на удобство.
   • Если у вас особенно широкие икры, лучший вариант, как правило, ботильоны и аналогично короткие сапоги. Голенище на этих сапогах будет чуть выше лодыжки и ниже самой широкой части икры, создавая более расслабленный вид.^[5]
     
   • Ваш рост может также определить идеальную высоту голенища сапог. Как правило, более короткие ноги выглядят лучше с более коротким голенищем и более длинные ноги выглядят лучше с более высоким. Если вы маленькая, высота голенище выше, чем 14 дюймов (35,6 см) может сократить вашу фигуру. Если вы высокого роста, высота голенище короче 15 дюймов (38,1 см) может скинуть визуальный баланс ваших ног.^[6]

   Identify the boot shaft. The shaft of a boot refers to the portion of the boot that rises above your foot and over your calf.

   • When you only see a measurement for “boot shaft,” it is safe to assume that the measurement refers to the height of the shaft and not the circumference.

2. 

   2

   Measure from the arch to the top of the shaft. Place one end of a tape measure at the middle of the boot arch, directly above the boot sole. Extend the tape measure vertically along the outside of the boot until you reach the very top of the shaft. This length is your boot shaft height.^[1]
   

   • Note that in the United States, boot shaft sizes are described in inches even when the shaft extends beyond a foot in height.
   • When a manufacturer lists the shaft height of a boot, the heel height is not usually included in that measurement. There is still some risk that some shops will include heel height as part of the shaft height, though, which can throw this measurement off completely. When buying a pair of boots you cannot measure yourself, try to verify whether or not heel height is left out of the shaft measurement.

   Know a few common measurements. If you are not able to measure the boot, you can estimate how tall a boot shaft might be simply by noting the style of boot.

   • For a size 8.5 women’s boot:^[2]
     
     • Ankle boot shafts range between 3 and 8 inches (7.6 and 20.3 cm).
     • Mid-calf boot shafts range between 8.25 and 13.25 inches (21 and 33.7 cm).
     • Knee-high boot shafts can be 13.5 inches (34.3 cm) or taller.
   • Boot shaft estimations can vary depending on the size of the boot. A size smaller than 8.5 will have a slightly shorter shaft, while a larger size will have a slightly larger shaft. The change in shaft size is usually about equal to the change in foot length when you compare your size against an 8.5 sized boot.

   Also consider heel height. Typically, heel height is not included as part of the boot shaft height. Since this separate measurement does play a part in the overall height of the boot, though, it can still be worth knowing.

   • Measure the heel height by extending a tape measure from the bottom of the heel to the point at which it meets the sole of the boot. Place the tape measure against the center side of the heel as you measure.
   • Common heel heights based on heel type are:
     • Flat heels, with an average height between 0 and 0.75 inches (0 and 1.9 cm).
     • Low heels, with an average height between 1 and 1.75 inches (2.5 and 4.4 cm).
     • Mid heels, with an average height between 2 and 2.75 inches (5 and 7 cm).
     • High heels, with an average height at 3 inches (7.6 cm) or above.

   Identify the widest part of the boot shaft. Examine the boot and determine where the widest part of the shaft lies. More often than not, the widest part will be at the opening of the boot, but this is not always the case.

   • Note that boot shaft circumference is sometimes referred to as “circumference” or “calf circumference.”

2. 

   2

   Measure around this part of the boot shaft. Place the end of a tape measure at a point along the widest part of the shaft. Wrap the rest of the tape measure around the shaft until it meets the starting end. Read the tape measure at the point of intersection to determine the shaft circumference.

   • Make sure that the tape measure is parallel to the ground the entire way around the shaft of the boot. If the tape measure is not even or straight, the measurement can get significantly thrown off.
   • As with shaft height, shaft circumference is often measured in inches when discussing boot sizes in the United States.

   Sit with your foot flat. Sit down comfortably with at least one foot flat against the floor. Your knee should be bent down at a 90 degree angle, making your leg perpendicular to the floor.^[3]
   

   • You should also relax the muscles in your leg as you prepare to measure it.
   • This leg is the leg you will need to measure. The vast majority of people can get away with only measuring one leg, but if one of your legs is slightly shorter than the others, you may want to consider measuring each leg separately.
   • Your leg is straightest in this position which is why you need to keep it this way for both your calf height and circumference measurements.

2. 

   2

   Measure up the back of your leg. Place the end of a soft tape measure at the bottom of your heel. Extend the tape measure upwards, over the back of your leg, until it hits a point just below your kneecap.

   • You can then take this calf height measurement and compare it to the shaft height measurement of the boots you are looking at. Find the measured height of the boot on the tape measure as you have it pressed against your calf. This spot is the point at which the boot shaft will most likely land on your leg.

3. 

   3

   Measure around your calf. Locate the widest part of your calf and place the end of a flexible tape measure there. Wrap the tape measure all the way around your calf until it intersects with this starting point, then take the measurement at this point of intersection.

   • If you want to be really precise, figure out where the top of the shaft will land on your calf using the shaft height measurement and measure the circumference of your calf at that point.
   • Compare your calf measurement to the shaft circumference of the boot. If the boot shaft circumference is smaller than the circumference of your calf, the boot will not fit well. If it is an exact match, the boot will fit but may feel a little too tight or snug. If the shaft is too much larger—usually 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) or more—the boot may end up feeling too loose.
   • A boot shaft circumference can, however, be 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) smaller than your calf circumference if the material has enough elasticity to stretch over your calf.
   • An ideal situation would be for your boot shaft circumference to be 0.25 to 1 inch (0.6 to 2.5 cm) wider than your calf circumference.

   Estimate an ideal boot shaft height. Beyond the basics of fit, your ideal boot shaft height is merely a matter of personal taste and preference. There are a few things worth keeping in mind when considering how high you would like a boot shaft to be, though.

   • If the shaft of a certain boot will end right at the crease of your knee, that boot is likely to pinch and rub your skin as you sit, making it uncomfortable.
   • If you have notably wide calves, the best options will usually be ankle boots and similarly short boots. The shaft of these boots will stop just above your ankle and below the widest part of your calf, creating a more relaxed fit.
   • Your height can also determine an ideal boot shaft height. As a general rule, shorter legs look better with shorter shafts and longer legs look better with taller shafts. If you are petite, a shaft height taller than 14 inches (35.6 cm) may overwhelm your figure. If you are tall, a shaft height shorter than 15 inches (38.1 cm) may throw off the visual balance of your legs.
