Missing my tall boots
I'v always had trouble with boots, even at a somewhat normal weight. I bought 2 pair that I really liked the beginning of last Fall while I was still loosing and they were wide-calf and still a little snug. I put the 1st pair on for the first time last week and there's about a 2-inch gap. I'll still wear them because I usually wear them with long skirts so you don't see the top anyhow. Maybe this year I will buy regular (not wide-calf) - sound like a shopping trip is necessary

Every body is different, and we all tend to lose weight in different places, plus body composition changes as we age.
Some people have no trouble getting into regular boots. For me, on the other hand, when I wore a size 2, I STILL had to wear wide-calf boots!

I have a friend who for many years (long ago, as we are both in our 60s) was a dancer with the American Ballet Theater. Despite her elongated, incredibly lean frame, her calves were muscular powerhouses which made regular size boots difficult to wear. It really is interesting, how different our bodies can be!
I'm sure you'll be able to wear your boots again. I see it with jewelry (my weak point). My rings are getting looser and even the necklaces (I guess my neck is getting smaller) are hanging lower. Moral of the story; if my fingers and neck are shrinking, your calves will shrink too.
