Knee boots should fit snugly but comfortably to your legs to prevent them from slipping down.
Here's a breakdown of how to properly fit knee boots:
-
Snug Fit: The most important aspect is that knee-high boots fit closely to your legs. According to the reference, you want them to "fit as tightly but as comfortably to your leg as possible." This is crucial to prevent slippage.
-
Comfort: While a snug fit is desired, prioritize comfort. The boots shouldn't be so tight that they restrict circulation or cause discomfort when walking or sitting.
-
No Slipping: The goal of a proper fit is to ensure the boots stay up and don't slip down as you move.
-
Over-the-knee Considerations: For over-the-knee boots, remember that they should also sit snugly against your legs.
