Are you talking about the leg opening? If so I think 7.5 to 8 inches is good for shoes, boots can look good with up to a 8.5 inch leg opening IMO.

I would go 7.5 to 8.0 inch also. I like a slimmer look, so most of mine are at 7.75". Looks fine with my size 6 shoes. Anything bigger than 8" looks too big with my shoes size.

Ah, good point, I didn't even take shoe size into consideration.

I wear a size 11 and I think that 8.5 widest that would still look good.

diameter for leg opening size

I think around 8 inches is perfect, not too slim and not too wide
