How to wear taller women's boots
The heel-to-ball measurement helped a lot too. I spent a long ass time comparing 9.5s and 10s, making sure to figure out the best spot for the ball of the foot. I think I would have gone with the 9.5s before measuring heel-to-ball, but the 10s get the ball right around the widest part of the boot. Kinda slots in. Appreciate the advice, and hopefully I did well by it.🤞 Feels correct at least.

How to wear taller women's boots
Ended up getting a bit of a deal on Red Wing 2217s, and I had a lil gift card for the store from xmas, which is why I was specifically looking at the Red Wing catalog. But yeah, I definitely paid more attention to chunky boots thanks to your suggestion. These things seem fucking serious, so I'm gonna wear them for dirty work, but also as fashion boots. I'm excited about the idea, and if I really like them, I'll definitely get some taller PNW boots as a dedicated fashion pair. Thanks so much!

So it was interesting. And helpful. Thank you for the advice, and I might still get my own Brannock to be extra sure.

How to wear taller women's boots
I was able to try out a Brannock device and I'm lucky that my size was just about the same as what my heel-to-toe resulted in. However, if I were to get some more custom boots, I'm sure both feet would thank me for getting a size 9.25 with an in-between D/E width.

But you're saying I should pick up my own Brannock and do my own measurements then?

Yeah, they're B instead of D width, but I fit better in a C anyway, so I'm not too worried.
