Product Development Poll: Ankle Boots with a 2 inch Heel

Last updated:

1-minute read

We currently offer custom ankle boots in two different styles, The Classic Ankle Bootie with a 3 1/2-inch heel and The Chelsea Boot with a 1-inch heel. Since we launched ankle boots in July 2014, we've had many requests for a heel height that falls right in between. So, before Justine makes her a product development trip to our factory in León, Mexico next week, we want to know: what's your ideal heel height and style?

Belt Measuring Guide

Belt Measuring Guide

A - High-rise style:

If you plan to wear your belt around your natural waistline, wrap a measuring tape around the narrowest part of your midsection. Then, add 3” to determine your high-rise belt size.

B - Mid-rise style:

If you plan to wear your belt lower than your natural waistline, you will require a dierent size. If you have a particular pair of bottoms you intend to wear your belt with, wrap a measuring tape through the belt loops while in a relaxed position.

When wearing your belt in your preferred style, it should fasten in the middle hole. The belt will relax with wear allowing you to cinch it tighter, as needed.

If you plan to wear the belt in both the high and mid-rise styles, you have two options:

  1. Select your high-rise style and fasten it more loosely when worn in the mid-rise style.
  2. Select your mid-rise style and fasten it more tightly when worn in the high-rise style.
