Hi all, I heard back from Gio, and he wants me to send pictures with a ruler to show the measurements for the boots. It looks like they are 45.5 cm high, and when I am wearing them they compress to about 44cm. Taking that into consideration, it seems that they need to be cut down to 37-38cm, so that they are around 36cm when wearing them. Again, I appreciate all of your input on this! I am working on getting a picture posted.
