You can also order online at Duo boots - just google duo and you will find the website.  They are from Briton - ship quickly-  You measure your calves and order specifically to your size.

My calves shrunk - and I can wear regular boots - however I dont like things tight so I ordered ones that dont grab my legs so much....

Depends on how far off you are from goal.  I say keep them and aim for them with tights, then jeans!

You go girl!

That is the look I am going for! Big comfy tunic sweaters, tights, and knee high boots! I still have a ways to go, I am only 30 days post op, hoping to get to 130lbs (I'm a shorty) So just over 100 more lbs to lose.

I say keep them!!! I had big legs but now that im  half way to goal my legs have gotten a lot smaller. If you always wanted some and you love them keep them and make them your goal. I have a goal outfit and now it fits so I went and bought a smaller one.

I've decided to keep them. I think I will get into them one day, and they don't go out of style, so if not this winter, next winter for sure! Congrats on the smaller goal outfit, that must have been an awesome feeling!

I can totally relate.  I thought I would never be able to get knee-high boots.

My calves never seem to shrink, even after 169 pounds lost.

Well, last Wednesday we went to Payless to buy some shoes for my daughter when she pointed out some boots on display.  My husband grabbed me a pair to try on and holy s#!t they fit !

Now, I think that they might make them a bit wider at Payless but I don't care.... after 20 years of wanting, I finally could have and so I did.

You should keep the boots you love and with time those calves will shrink :-)

       

      Have learned that I can't measure my journey only by what I've lost.  I've gained health and extra time on this earth ... that is most important
