Cankles anyone?

I have tried so much foot wear but it all results in emphasising my solidly turned ankle and giving a tree trunk appearance.

I appear to have severe cankles.

Converse high tops, Nike AF1, boots and tights.

Sandals seem to be ok unless they have an ankle strap. But it's soon to be end of sandal seasons.

Any fellow canklers out there and any solutions? or just solidarity.

I would love exercise to reduce them woodhill but sadly I think they are genetic
Agree with others that hi tops & ankle boots which are tighter at the top are your friend

I’m otherwise slim but I have ghastly cankles - think they’re genetic as I’ve had them since childhood (my dad is from sturdy peasant stock and my mum says that explains them!) I always heave a sigh of relief at this time of year as I can disguise them with opaque tights and ankle boots!
