Fat calf frustration!

Anybody else suffer with this?
Im currently wearing a pair of leggings that are too baggy round my bum and thighs and I can barely squeeze them over my calves.
Any skinny trousers or joggers? forget about it....they just suction themselves to my gargantuan lower legs and look like effed up jodphurs.
Even when I got down to a size 8 I still had to shop plus size for boots!

and its not like my lower legs look like Popeyes arms either....I swear they just look normal sized to me!
/sigh..... ah well, just wanted to moan.
Feel free to join in if you also have freakishly abnormal body parts!!LOL😆

I hear you and raise you knee high boots

Same here I've always had chunky calves it's horrible because I can't wear skinny Jeans and have always felt like I've got manly legs 🥺

Yep! PCOS, ergo extra testosterone, ergo I build muscle. My legs are strong and shapely, but alas won't fit into skinny anything or most boots that go above the ankle. Although I've also had problems in the past getting the ankles of leggings over my feet!

Same! Slim legs compared to the rest of me. Boots seem ok but anything with elastic cuffs ends up caught above my calves and looks like jodhpurs.
