Boots and calves

Ok ladies, when am I gonna be able to wear these sassy knee boots I just bought? I an down to a size 16 from a 20 in two months since surgery, but these boots are still not zipping up much higher than my ankle. I am 5 ft 3 and 195 right now.

Got any tips to get my calves smaller? Or do you know what size you were when you could zip your boots?

I couldn't wear knee high boots when I was a size 6. God "blessed" me with muscular calves :-(

Same here...always have had large muscular calves, boots have never fit, even as a size 9.. You may have to look for boots made for larger calves. Good luck!

I bought ankle boots!

OMG! That is one of my LapBand bucket lists items! I can't wait until I'm skinny enough to wear knee high boots.. even UGG boots over my jeans or leggings! I'm right there with you girl!

I have a problem with getting boots past my ankle. I have a lympdema in my leg. I finally was able to get the zipper past my ankle. So that was a great NSV for me.

I finally was able to zip mine over the calf. Such a great feeling. I was a 14-16 when I was able to. Different styles make a difference, too. I saw where Macy's had some boots marked wide-calved boots for the interim. You will get there. Good Luck!

I buy wide calf boots and just got a couple pair from layne Bryant that fit! I'm 218 lbs size 16/18. Some times I have to scrunch them down, zip them and then pull them up, I love boots:-)

I am still at 268 (down 50!) and I am 5'8" and have been able to wear the wide called boots from Lane Bryant even before surgery? I can't wait for the reg calve Uggs though!

I have lost 220 lbs....weigh 157 and still have fat ankles and calves. Once I recover from my tummy tuck I have to figure out what will work in the way of exercise.... Boots aren't even on my radar unfortunately....
