If I have chunky calves will these heels make them look wider?

yes

Unfortunately that ankle strap will shorten your leg and that won’t help.

thinkingcapon · 23/06/2020 20:37

I don't actually as the strap will come way below the ankle won't it?!

sallievp · 23/06/2020 20:38

Not sure...think they'll be ok as light colour and strap lower down.
They are absolutely fabulous shoes!

Literally the worst shape for chunky calves. That heel shape will highlight the whole thing. Mind you I think I’d you own chunky calves they can look strong and sexy

MsRinky · 23/06/2020 20:47

If I saw anyone wearing them I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice their calves, I'd just be reeling from the hideousness.

Saturdayrabbit42 · 23/06/2020 20:52

Sorry...but I would say yes...as a fellow chunky calf owner I would avoid!

cicatrix1 · 23/06/2020 21:07

I think if the strap doesn't come up to high on the foot ,they will look great.Fabulous shoes.

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 23/06/2020 21:11

I love them, so I say buy and enjoy and who cares what anyone thinks.

GreyHare · 24/06/2020 12:49

I can't see why they would, not my choice of shoe but a chunkier heel is often more flattering than a skinny minny stiletto heel.

managedmis · 24/06/2020 19:44

Yes

Apileofballyhoo · 24/06/2020 19:49

I don't think so, the straps seem low to me.

Jajarolo · 24/06/2020 19:52

Ues in the same wau a wedge heel lengthens and slims the heel is highlights the curves of the leg.

TheMarzipanDildo · 24/06/2020 19:55

I like a chunky calf Smile

It depends on your ankles. If you have slender ankles but muscular calves these could look magnificent. If your ankles are thick for any reason I'd honestly avoid. The heel is good either way, it's the straps that could do the aesthetic damage. Also don't wear with a hem that falls at the wide part if your calf- these will look better with knee length or thereabouts.
