Did your calves get smaller as you lost weight?
Mine are smaller, but I still can't wear high boots either. In my case it's not the calf width, that fits no problem; it's where the boot**** my ankle that is just too snug to be comfy. They need to make cankle friendly boots!
I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

Yes, when I lost 190 pounds, my calves got smaller BUT I have always had muscular calves and thighs, and there are still some knee high boots that I cannot wear.
I have a friend who isn't overweight, but she has "cankles" and she cannot wear most knee high boots, so it really depends on how your body is made and how the boots are made. They do, however, make boots with a little extra room in the calves.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Your calves are muscular from kicking so much ass.

I have lost several inches already in my calves. My foot is thinner, but I am still a size 12. dang. Was hoping I would go down a size or two.
