    Ankle - 11.25 inches
    Calves- 17.25 inches

    I don't like my ankles either :( But if they are near average, that is something at least! lol

    I'm 5foot 4inches and my ankles are 6 inches around and my calves are 9 inches around. You sound pretty normal!

    Little birdy ankles aren't all that great. I have to punch extra holes for the buckles in any shoes with ankle straps. :ohwell:
    exactly. or how about tiny ankles and huge calves? i can't sleek zip up boos because they do a weird dent thing at the ankle

    I had never measured my ankles before, I always thought I had pretty skinny/normal ankles, but I was super curious after reading your post:

    So I am 5ft 4in; 116 lbs:

    Rt ankle: 8 in
    Rt calf: 13.5 in

    Lt ankle: 8.5 in (my circulation is worse on that leg - as I found out during later pregnancies when only that ankle would swell with fluid retention)
    Lt calf: 13.5 in

    I think your ankles must be pretty normal!

    Good god. I have enough things to worry about without adding ankle size to the list.

    Ditto.

    Same here

    To the people thinking it was a joke.....

    Well, sometimes when we're growing up, people tear down our self-esteem about certain features. I have body dysmorphia about my calves (among other things) because when I was a child/teenager, my mom and sisters constantly called attention to them and the fact that they were big or were going to be big. And now I am still self-conscious of them.

    My mom also did things like predicting who had her bigger build and comparing them to the smaller girls. My whole family did, actually. I mean, when your own brother says you have a body type like Sasquatch, it's hard for your self-esteem not to take a hit.

    So, you have to realize that when taking into account why others are sensitive about certain features.
