Cheryl Cole has cankles.

I have v v extreme cankles. I have read that a thinstrap across ankle actually improves their look. I think these are not a bad option.

I am another cankler but have very slim wrists obviously the fat distribution was upset somewhat in my making.

Lady in Clarks once said it's not my cankles that are the problem it's my feet cos I'm only a 3, were I to take a 5 I'd have no problem with boots (she may of course just have been trying really hard for a sale)

Cheryl Cole?

Surely not

DrNortherner · 26/06/2008 13:19

Cheryl's cankles

PinkPussyCat · 26/06/2008 13:29

They're not dissimilar to mine...that's where any similarity abruptly ends however lol

she got a bot of seaweed stuck on her leg?

I consider myself a world authority on cankles and have done extensive shoe retail research on the subject.

My conclusion is that there are definitely degrees of cankle and they are not to be confused with fankles.

The shodding of cankles is largely flattered with a self coloured chunky heel and thick sole, sounds hideous and hard to get but works.

I recently purchased these

and although they are black they offer great de-canckling at a good price.

I like those, strangetown. But now I can't decide whether I have cankles or fankles!

StrangeTown · 28/06/2008 11:31

Very, very tricky Pink! I had fankles whilst pregnant, but have now gone back to my common or garden canckles...

Monkeytrousers · 30/06/2008 08:08

What the feck are fankles now?

PinkPussyCat · 30/06/2008 08:20

I guessed it must be an amalgamation of feet + ankles... Not the best look!

colditz · 30/06/2008 08:35

You don't have to be overweight to have cankles, I am 2 stone overweight and my ankles are nearlt as thin as my wrists.

colditz · 30/06/2008 08:37

PS thin illusion is caused by mahoosively muscular calves.
