Ruckedigu, there's a shoe for every figure

Winter will come. Fortunately with less serious problems like in Game of Thrones, but still no less serious ones. One of them is about buying the perfect winter shoes. Ankle boots, boots, mid-height boots, over knees: there are now as many different types of boot models as there are types of women. That is the good news. The bad news is that almost 60 % of all women have a hard time buying boots. So here's a quick tutorial in boot lore to make sure your next purchase ends up on your feet, not in your closet.

Frauen mit kurzen Beinen

If you are short, you should go for shoes that make your leg look longer and visually stretch your figure. Slim-fitting ankle boots and ankle boots with a heel are particularly suitable for this. However, you have to pay attention to a few important details when it comes to heels. The wider the heel, the more disproportionate the overall look. So rather choose shoes with a narrow heel or preferably stiletto heels. If you prefer a firmer hold, then wear ankle boots with a narrow block heel.

The simpler the shoe, the more favourable the overall look. Instead of wearing rough boots with eye-catching appliqués, choose pointed shoes in muted colours. Add a pair of trousers or tights in the same colour and you have endless legs.

Women with long legs

Sie Glückliche. Ob flache Boots oder elegante Stiefel – groß gewachsene Frauen können einfach alles tragen. Sogar Overknees, den längsten Stiefel der Welt. Wichtig beim Outfit: Setzen Sie auf eine Kombination aus eng und weit, sonst kommt sofort der Julia Roberts Vergleich ins Spiel. Das bedeutet zu den Hochschaftstiefeln einen Oversized-Mantel oder einen XXL-Pulover tragen und bei den Absätzen nicht übertreiben. Für Sie ist sogar eine flache Sohle vorteilhaft. Vorsicht mit spitzen Stiefeln, die lassen nämlich Ihre Füße größer wirken.

Women with thin legs

Slim women with thin legs may never have problems choosing skinny jeans, but more often they have problems choosing boots. Many boots have a shaft that is too wide for their figure, which makes their legs look even thinner. That's why boots with a narrow shaft are ideal for you. If you don't want to do without heels, always make sure that they are not too high and that they have a rather wide heel. Very high spiked heels make your legs look even thinner. Eye-catching details like buckles, glitter details and studs make the look more exciting and grown-up.

Women with a curvy figure

Who would have thought it. Even for curvy women, the saviour is called the stiletto heel boot. This winter model stretches the silhouette and balances the figure. The boots should not be completely tight-fitting and should be made of softer materials, such as suede. A knee-high shaft is most ideal among boot heights. If you're into ankle boots, they should have a short shaft that highlights your ankles. Hands off overknees or ankle boots: Both emphasise awkward body parts. When buying, go for more muted colours and discreet details.

Women with strong calves

For many women with wider calves, buying boots is a real challenge. The problem is usually not the shoe size itself, but the width of the shaft. That's why you should always look for models that lace up or have a stretchy part. These boots ensure an optimal and comfortable fit. Strong calves can be concealed very well with a few centimetres of heel. Too narrow heels are not a good choice, so go for thinner block heels instead. Adorn yourself with boots that end just below the knee and not in the middle of the calf. They stretch the leg and automatically make the calves look slimmer. Finally, the well-known classic: get a model in the colour black.
