With the many lengths available in a boot, it can be hard to know which length to wear with what. You can purchase an ankle length boot, which is about 5-6" in height, a three-quarter length which is about 8-9"in height, or a full length boot that can range from 12-16 inches tall. You can choose a flat boot, a small heel, or a taller heel. Some boots are even accentuated with fleece, and meant to be worn in the colder months. Although every type of boot is available for every size, there are certain lengths that work better for certain people. Your lifestyle, body shape, and activity level should be considered when choosing a boot length.

In order to choose the correct length for you, you need to decide why and when you will be wearing the boot. For example, a taller boot is great for the winter, and a certain boot is more appropriate for constant travel or driving. A three-quarter length is a happy medium for some, but for those with large or muscular calves, or someone with very slim legs, this length may not work well. An ankle boot may be more stylish, but may not provide enough protection in inclement weather. Some boots are better used for night time entertainment, and some are designed to last an entire workday. While many companies, including Clarks Shoes, design their boots to provide ultimate comfort for any occasion, it may be difficult to run around town in the summer with a full length high heeled boot.

An ankle length boot is great for someone who does a lot of walking or driving. The size provides ample ankle support, but still allows for range of motion that is common with walking or driving. This length is made for women on the go, and is usually designed with a slip-on, or zipper up style for ease of putting them on, and taking them off. Many women prefer ankle length boots for the fall with a pair of slacks or jeans. Clarks Shoes offers a variety of ankle length boots that work well in a casual, professional, or elegant setting, and all the while, providing ultimate comfort.

The three-quarter length boots are a great option for someone wanting wear the boots with tights, or with thin pants tucked into the boot. For an athletic woman with muscular legs, or a dancer with very slim legs, this length can prove to be too tight or too loose in the calf area. This style works well with skirts and dresses, as well as all types of pants, and can be dressed up or dressed down. This length boot is made with a zipper closure, but can also be a slip on. This length protects the ankle as well, while providing more warmth than the ankle length.

The full length boot is great for warmth and comfort, and makes a nice transition from fall to winter. This style is commonly worn in conjunction with warm socks to provide the ultimate winter protection. Some full length boots are casual, and some are a bit more sophisticated, but both styles provide comfort and warmth in the cooler months. This length of boot is traditionally worn with skirts or dresses in the winter. This gives a woman the opportunity to dress warmly without sacrificing style and femininity. These boots can also be worn with a pair of slacks or jeans. As a mater of fact, the popular "skinny jeans" look great tucked into a full length boot. Clarks Shoes has created many comfortable styles that are either zip-up or pull on fashions. For someone who is shorter than most, this length of boot may feel a bit too big. A good alternative is the three-quarter length.
