I believe Zappos is from the arch of the foot. Infinity Shoes said their measurement is from the top of the heel. If it's not in the fine print, I usually call to make sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-shaft-measurement#post-266310 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 01:35:18 +0000 Aida 266310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking of Zappos in particular; I have a few boots that I'm thinking of getting but I would like to make use of the measurements they provide so I can pass straight away on the boots that'll be too tall for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-shaft-measurement#post-266308 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 01:34:51 +0000 April 266308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I have always assumed it started where the upper meets the heel (that is, put the boot on the floor, measure from the floor to the top of the shaft, then subtract the heel height), but your question makes me realize that it may not be so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-shaft-measurement#post-266298 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 01:23:58 +0000 Mellllls 266298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>good question... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-shaft-measurement#post-266296 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 01:23:21 +0000 Queen Mum 266296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *think* it starts from the arch of the foot. i seemed to have read that on one of the shoe websites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-shaft-measurement#post-266293 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 01:20:29 +0000 Aida 266293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where does this measurement start? At the ankle? At the heel? </p>
