Pencil in a glass - how to choose shoes for thin feet?

An object of admiration for the stronger half of humanity, slender female legs can bring a lot of inconvenience to their owner. This happens if the legs are too thin. Fashion stylists will tell you what to do and how to forget about the problem!

Many women tend to underestimate their attractiveness, enthusiastically engaging in self-flagellation, looking for new “incidents of nature” in their own appearance with enviable regularity. Therefore, before we move on to specific advice, let’s understand the scale of the personal “tragedy”. And some small calculations will help us with this.

Let's determine the minimum leg volume that is “acceptable” for your figure. To do this, multiply your height in centimeters by a certain factor. For thigh volume it is 0.32, for calves – 0.21. If the resulting value is equal to or exceeds your personal parameters, congratulations and once and for all get rid of the “thin legs” complex that has been erroneously fixed in your mind.

Otherwise, the situation can be corrected by introducing additional calories into the diet or by performing special exercises, not to mention more radical methods, which include plastic surgery. But we will entrust the elimination of the medical aspects of the problem to professionals, that is, doctors, and we ourselves will visually “resolve” the situation.

Rules for choosing shoes for thin legs

Of course, only stylists can provide brilliant recommendations regarding the rules of figure modeling and visual correction of problem areas. Listen to the advice of Italian image makers, teachers of the Scuola Italiana di Moda e Stile school of image and style!

Spring, summer shoe collections

Beige pumps are a universal shoe for the warm season for owners of any body type. Elegant, laconic, with a closed or open toe and a small heel, they are a basic item that fits perfectly into various clothing styles. If you have thin legs, this is item number one on your list of purchases.


Gladiator sandals with an impressive number of horizontal straps can add volume to your legs, and at the same time glamor. Shoes equipped with bright appliques and laces are also perfect; having a rich, bright color. These can be ankle boots, clogs, a variety of sports shoes.

It is common knowledge that light shades add volume. When choosing autumn-winter shoes, give preference to boots and shoes in light colors, preferably made from soft textures (velor, suede, etc.). Due to the pliability of the material, such shoes perfectly adapt to the shape of the feet, veiling figure errors.

Always pay attention to the height of the top of your shoes. Thin ankles will be decorated with a pair, the height of which is just below the kneecap or above it. It is unacceptable to purchase products that end at the middle of the calf.

You should have a special attitude towards over the knee boots, since they tend to visually shorten your legs. They should not be purchased by girls of short stature, with the exception of options that involve very high heels. As for flat shoes, it is best to avoid them if possible.

Models gathered at the ankle area, as well as decorated with a fluffy boot, can add fullness to your legs. The latter can be made of fur or fringe made of threads.

Fashionable tricks: how to “make legs”

If, despite your efforts, you have not been able to purchase a pair that fits your feet flawlessly, use a few tricks. Choose a model that has a back seam. A craftsman from a shoe workshop will be able to stitch the boot to the required width.


A trend that has not left the fashion Olympus for several seasons in a row can add missing volume to your legs - knitted knee socks and leg warmers. This stylish accessory will make you feel great even in calf-hugging tube boots.

Light-colored tights also have a “filling” effect. White, soft pink, orange, yellow or bright light green new clothes in your case are just what the doctor ordered.

You can also visually increase the volume of your calves through wardrobe items. Leggings, jeggings, slims, skinny jeans and other types of trousers that can be tucked into shoes will create a wonderful stylish look and allow you to enjoy all the delights of a busy life. Of course, subject to skillful selection of the “top” of the outfit.



The fashion industry has long been on the side of women. You can always look great, guided by the rules of creating a style in the name of your beauty. Wonderful images to you!
