Mid-calf for Dummies
noun
What does Mid-calf really mean?
Alright, so "mid-calf" is a term we use to talk about a specific location on our legs. Imagine your leg is like a long ruler. If you divide that ruler in three equal parts, the middle part is called "mid-calf." It's the area right in the middle of your lower leg, halfway between your ankle and your knee.
So, when we say someone is wearing "mid-calf boots," it means the boots come up to that mid-calf area of their leg. Or if we say someone is wearing "mid-calf socks," it means those socks go up to that same spot on their leg. It's basically a way to describe how long something is in relation to the length of our leg.
Is there a specific reason you wanted to know about this term? Maybe you've seen it in a fashion magazine or heard someone talking about it and got a bit confused? Let me know if there are any other words you need help understanding!
