There are generally 3 types of cut for AIGLE boots: high, mid, and low:

Rubber has remarkable natural properties but there is a limit to how much it stretches. Make sure your rubber boots are a good fit for your arch length. Start with the right size could help you to feel more comfortable.  However, the boot size is dependent on each design and style of boots, so it is important to check before ordering:

Always make sure there is space in between your toes and your rubber boots.

Comfort is the key. When you are trying on your pair of boots, always make sure there is a space between your toes and the end of the boot. Walking will be a lot more comfortable with this air space, which is acting as an insulator in cold weather conditions. It is also recommended to choose the boot size with a looser calf for moisture ventilation from sweating. 

When you take your first steps in your pair of boots, it is normal for your heel to lift up slightly but it should not come away completely. If you feel as if the boot is coming off with every step then it's too big.

② (Ash, Lily, Phoebe: remove?) 最好先坐下，把腳平放在地上，膝蓋彎曲成 90° ，並以軟量尺來量度你的腳踝寬度及小腿最寬的部分，切記不要把軟尺拉緊。

③ (Ash, Lily, Phoebe: remove?) 請同時量度雙腳腳踝寬度 (but seems we don't have measurements for customers?)

如兩腳在尺寸差別比較大，請以較大的尺寸為准。

• To effectively protect your feet and achieve a comfortable effect, please wear a pair of moisture-wicking socks when you are wearing the rubber boots.
• It is not recommended to wear pantyhose with boots.
• Styling high socks with boots (tall enough to cover your leg above the hight of the boots) helps to provide better comfort and keeps your look sleek.
• A pair of thick socks helps to keep you warm in winter.
• When there is rain, mud, and water are all around the streets, leading a slippery floor. Be careful not to slip in the rain!

Children grow fast and their feets' sizes keep changing as they grow. That's why buying boots could be tricky for children as most parents get confused while measuring and sizing. But it's important to order the correct size for kids as it could be uncomfortable and hard to walk if the boots are too large. When shopping for kids, we recommend following the same rules as adults for children.

First off, boots size do not correspond to age. Measure the length of your kid's feet and compare the measurements with the size chart below to determine an appropriate boot size for your children. We also recommend a design suited to the shape of their foot. For very small children, you can consider Baby Flac (available in EU 21-23 / 13.5-14.8 cm). It is lower and wider, easy to put on and it does not interfere with your child's walking.

買一雙有抓毛內裡的橡膠靴。只穿薄襪子也能夠保持溫暖和舒適。適合極冷的天氣和長時間停留在室外環境。在產品說明上，你會發現有不同類型的皮毛：自然及仿毛皮。但由於皮草是不可拆卸的，彈性較小，只限於在某些場合穿著。另一個選擇是購買一雙經典的橡膠靴並一併購買襪子，如抓絨設計的保暖襪Warmsocks。這配搭可以根據你的品味、要求，和季節的變化，使你更容易配搭橡膠靴。

下雪時也可以穿著橡膠靴，但是橡膠靴永遠無法取代一對好的雪靴(after-ski-boots)。如果您選擇的有抓毛內裡的橡膠靴，它可以在寒冷天氣保暖你的雙腳。另外，你需注意鞋底的選擇。我們建議您選擇鋸齒形鞋底，以防止滑倒。
