My calves have definitely gotten smaller. I recently bought my very first "normal" pair of over the knee boots. I couldn't even get some stretchy plus sized ones on in my old body.

We have told you time and time again that, if you substitute some slippery "Sheer Energy" pantyhose for the friction causing fishnet stockings, you can probably wear the thigh highs NOW!

Mine definitely have with what weight I've lost already (my feet have shrunk, too), but I still can't wear high boots either. I don't think they're designed for people much over ~150 lbs, and everyone is built differently. I've lost a good bit pre-op, but I still have a long way to go, which is what I'm chalking the boot issue up to. =)

My calves were huge, always have been. And now, at 170lbs I can wear any thigh high, non stretchy, zipper up boot. This SHOCKS me, as I have never been able to. This did not happen until I got to about 180lbs. Now they just zip right up! my point is, you will get there! Good luck.
