Big NSV!
I have always, always wanted a pair of knee-high boots. But have never been able to get them because I couldn't find any that fit my extremely fat calves. Even the wide, wide leg boots didn't fit. I ordered from Lane Bryant and many online retailers looking for the right ones over the years and they never worked for me. I definitely cried over this - which I know was kind of stupid but I really tried to look cute and stylish even though I was 377 pounds, which I'm pretty sure you guys can understand was seriously hard to do!
Today I tried on a pair randomly and they TOTALLY FIT!
My calves are still pretty fat so I was surprised. This is so great! I didn't buy them because they were really expensive and not on sale but I know what I'll be stalking sale sites for now.

I totally get wanting to wear knee-high boots and feeling frustration over not being able to.
I love them by the way! Congratulations... a great NSV for sure! I can imagine cute skirts and opaque leggings to go with them.

I love mine with skinny jeans, leggings and dresses and skirts but my favorite comfy and stylish ware is sweater dresses .
You go girl! What an awesome feeling .. I can totally relate! Some still don't fit my calves but most do now. I'm proud for you !
Ps. Your calves don't look still big.
