    When I started out in the 215-230 range my calves were 20-21 inches.

    I'm 150ish now and they are in the 16 inch range.

    That's a lot of muscle. Are you a body builder?

    Interesting thread. Last time I measured my calves, they were 15". Down from 16". I've lost 10" off my waist but only 1" off my calves.

    I have this thing for boots. Except I can't wear them because my calves are too big. I've always been convinced they are the hugest calves in all of calfdom. Apparently not. So, why can't I find boots that fit?

    Oh and FWIW, I'm 4' 10 1/2" and have 20-21" thighs.

    I'm 5ft 6, 170lbs and my calves are 12.5 inches...but I love them because they are the most defined part of my body (at the moment)

    I'm 5'5" and about 165 lbs. My calves are 15.5 with some pretty good definition. I usually like the way they look unless I'm trying to find boots. So glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

    I was idly wondering the same - unless you can see the calves are two, it's not all muscle.

    no I just naturally have big thighs and calves, there's a little fat but not much.

    Mine are 15" and I have a pair of Doc Marten's that fit amazing...love those boots.

    Edited to say: I just remeasured my calves and apparently they've gotten smaller...14 inches, but I know those doc's will fit a 15" calf.
