Over the knee Boots and my Big ole' Chunky calves...

I am one of those girls who struggles with the fat calve syndrome. It has plagued me all my life. Even when I lost weight, my calves seemed to remain huge. Knee high boots always had to be slide on for me, with no zipper, and just were never the look I was going for.

WELL, being hit with a bout of insomnia a few days back, I did what I usually do, which is shop online. I purchased a pair of just slightly over the knee boots. I got them today. I would love to wear them with tights, and a stylish tunic, or jeans tucked in etc... I tried them on, and surprisingly they made it up to my knee. Unfortunately they bunched all around the ankle, and didn't make it up as high as they should go, and I also can't yet do up the zipper in the back all the way. I almost can! But not quite yet.

Now I am wondering, I love these boots, and they are cute and comfortable, I also got them on a 40% off sale! but will my calves shrink enough to one day wear them, I am not sure! Dilemma, dilemma! To return or to make one of my NSV's and hold on to them.

I want to wear cute boots too! 

Hi Jennifer, I know your situation well and as my daughter puts it we don't have fat calves we have skinny ankles. Lol and to answer your question YES I lost fat from my calves and for the first time since I was a teenager I am wearing knee high boots.

Cheers to the new boots

OH I HOPE one day!!! And congrats on your knee high boots lady!!

Those boots were made for walking girl.  I bet you will be tripping the light fantastic in those babies by February.

Hahahaha Tripping the light fantastic! You know it!

You have to look for them but there are boots with a stretch panel in the back.  They will give you a couple of exra inches in the calf area and nobody will know your secret. 

Will keep an eye out, have just found all the ones I love, do not have that option, including these ones I did purchase. One day I will get into them!

I always picked up my boots from Additionelle/Penningtons, they make boots for wider calves. Here's the pair I got last year. Yes those are my own chunky calves, lol. I wonder if they'll still fit me when all of this is over... they may be too big, lol! 27 days to go!! 

My boots!

I have those boots as well!

Sadly, they don't fit very well now and my foot slides inside. Everyone is different but I think if they are tight now, they will be ok for you as you loose weight. These boots from last winter, I can't wear now.

Oh those are stylish too! I have a few pairs I have found that do fit my huge calves, but these ones are slightly over the knee, they are really high. And yes, they will probably be too big after your journey! 27 days!!!
