To take perfect measurements, following the instructions carefully.
Step 1: TRACING


Wearing socks or hose normally worn, trace the outline of your foot at 90 degree position using a pencil. (You must also trace under the arch at a 45 degree angle). Then take a measuring tape and measure from the longer toeline straight to the back of the heel.

Trace each foot on a separate piece of paper and marck right and left.

(If you are sending measurement form via internet by email attachment, you can send this tracing via Fax.)

Precautions:
Make sure tracing and measurements have all information filled out. Please be sure to add the dotted lines to your tracing indicating the arch and ball of your feet.

Trace and label any corns, etc.

Step 2: LENGTH

1- Draw a straight line, longer then your foot, on a piece of paper.
2- Place the paper on a flat surface. Stand on the line with your heel and longest toe centered on the line.
3- Heave a friend place a mark on the line at the tip of your toe and back of your heel. Measure both feet.
4- Measure the distance between the marks.
.

Precautions:
Length must be taken wearing socks usually worn.

Step 3: BALL

Measure the ball of the foot from the big toe joint all the way around the little toe joint, straight across without angling the tape.

Precautions:
Mark the position of the tape on the outline of the foot.
Step 4: INSTEP

Measure from the highest point of the top of the foot all th eway around straight across, not in an angle.

Precautions:
Mark the position of hte tape on the outline of the foot.
Step 5: HEEL

The heel measurement is taken diagonally from teh bottom of the back of the heel across the top of the foot.

Precautions:
Mark the position of hte tape on the outline of the foot.
Step 6: ANKLE

Measure acound the ankle bone.
(Usually 4"-6" from the floor).



Step 7: CALF

The calf measurement is taken at the widest part of the calf. It can be found by sliding the measuring tape up and down until finding the widest spot..



Step 8: BOOT TOP

The top is measured at the highest point (to the crease of the knee) and make a pencil marck on outside of the leg on top of the tape.



Step 9: HEIGHT OF BOOT

The height is measured from the pencil mark, to the floor, on the outside of the leg. (This pencil mark was done in step 8).

Then add 1 1/4 inches for your total height measurements (That is to allow for breakage and wrinkling)

With the customer sitting and feel placed flat on the floor, place tape around the leg as high as possible to the bend in the knee.

Precautions:
Keep tape parallal to the floor.
Important Tips:
  1. If the calf measurms 2" or more then the top, we recommend a gusset.
  2. If the heel measurement is larget then the top, need to add a gusset.
  3. If the heel measurement is bigger than the calf, need to add a zipper.
  4. If the top and the calf measures the same, we cecommend an elastic gusset to hold the boot up.
  5. When taking the height measurement for very sold leather, like "Baby Calf" , we recommend you add extra to the height for droppage.
