Size Chart: Balla Knee Boot
Made in stretch nappa, the Balla Knee moulds closely to the leg. The calf measurement below is the boot unstretched; it will comfortably stretch beyond it. Size 38 (US 7.5): shaft height 16.5 in / 42.0 cm, calf circumference 13.5 in / 34.2 cm. Shaft height is measured from the top of the sole; calf circumference at the widest point of the boot. Both increase by roughly 0.7–1 cm per size.
To check the calf: standing, measure around the widest part of your calf. A boot 1–2 cm larger than your measurement sits close but comfortably; more than that gives room for trousers.

Size conversion & foot length
Italian sizing typically runs narrow. To find your size, measure the length of your foot from heel to toe with your heel flush against a wall, and match it to the chart. Each measurement corresponds to one size. If you fall exactly on a boundary, take the larger size.
