How Should Ankle Boots Fit. Ironically, it's probably the least important thing about a boot's fit. Problem is there is some gap at the ankle.

They (generally) fit and they complete just about any winter outfit. Your cowboy boots should fit snug, but you can leave up to a half inch of slip in the heel. Another way to test it is to put your boots on, stand up straight, and then wiggle your toes.
If your pants are a little baggy around the ankle, or you wear your pants over the top of the boots, it might make your ankles look a little big.
The ball of your foot should sit at the widest part of the sole of the boot.
Narrow feet and ankles, use to get called the stork in school because of the long leg thing. Nordstrom seems to carry a lot of narrow booties so I have good luck finding a fit there. You should be able to slide one finger between the protective boot and the horse's leg.
