Frequently asked questions
What measurement should I give for knee-high boots?
Calf circumference and shaft height. Those are the two figures buyers need and the ones most listings leave out.
What fails on knee-high boots?
The full-length zip, which takes strain every time they go on. Test it repeatedly before listing.
Do slouched shafts reduce value?
If the style is meant to stand, yes. Photograph them as they actually sit rather than propping them up.
