Big calves here and I love them! Muscles are the best, especially nice toned ones on a women.0

When I write that mine 13,5 inches you might think they are not that big, but compared to my thighs that are a bit less than 19 inches on the widest point they look ridiculously large. My tiny ankles and small feet don't help either, I had people asking me if I train football(soccer).
Oh yeah I only weight 112 lbs so it is all muscle.0 -

I can have your 19" thighs if you don't mind.I find out after a while I stop paying attention to my calves..because I have other areas to focus on...such as my waist, thighs, butt, arm...I am all over big anyway.
I think you will look awesome in cigarette pants.0 -
Mine are just big, but I just thought its from being a bigger female. But a lot of us in our family has the genetic issue of having tight heel cords. A lot of us have a lot more strength in our legs and can stay on our toes longer. But I haven't found away to work with them yet. Either you feel like your going fall forwards or they lock up after awhile.0

Muscular calves are attractive on men and women. I'm less than 110lbs at 5'4 and mine are 13.5 inches! The biggest part of my thighs are less than 19 inches too so they look extra muscular. I loooove my calves.0

still loving my calves!0

I admit, I am jealous! I have small calves and even smaller ankles and I'm not a tiny woman. They've always been firm and even a bit cut, but not big. Chicken legs run in my family. Even when my brother was in the NFL he had skinny legs!
When I go boot shopping, sometimes they don't look right because there's all this extra room between my legs/skinny jeans and the actual boot. Plus women with good size calves really can rock heels.0 -
Yep I've always had big calves even at my smallest weight. Hate them! ????0

Havent measured mine but they are definately bigger than they used to be!
Finding boots and skinny jeans is a pain - but I love them! :drinker:0 -
Hello, I've just found this thread and had to get involved! I'm 24 and I'm 5ft 1 (petite framed) but I have 16" sized calves! I have always had large calves even weighing at my smallest at 7.13 stone (I'm now 8.7 stone) they were 15" and look so out of proportion.
It used to get me down so much I even went to the doctors after trying EVERYTHING and considered surgery in Thailand because it was making me feel so unlady like but I found out it can go wrong and leave you in a wheel chair so that was out of the question!
I have literally tried everything to reduce the size but nothing works. My sports therapist told me I was born with them and that's that...not what I wanted to hear but guess we are all just made differently!
If anyone finds a good solution please let me know!!
Thank you! :-)0 -
