The more care you take with the measurements, the better your custom-made boots will fit. If you&amp;#8217;re not sure about taking the measurements, give us a call.

&lt;h3&gt;Calf measurements&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the calf measurements you should ask someone to help because you need to stand up and have your leg straight. It may help if they mark your leg with a pen at the various measurement points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a) Measure the length from the side of your heel (at ground level), up your calf, to where you would like the top of the boots to come (ie below your knee for knee-length boots, lower down for shorter boots).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;b) Measure around your calf at the &#8216;top of boot&#8217; point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;c) Measure around your calf 5 cm below the top of boot point, and then every 5 cm going down your leg towards your ankle. The final measurement should be around the ankle, making sure that the tape measure goes over the ankle bone. As a guide &amp;#8211; if your boots are 40 cm high, there should be at least five calf measurements between the top of boot measurement and the ankle measurement.&lt;/p&gt;
