    Mine are 15 3/4" right now....I'm 5'8", 207 pounds. I know they used to be much smaller because I have a pair of boots that I can't zip up! That seems so sad to me! LOL

    Mine are 18.25. I used to walk on my tippy toes all the time when I was little. My calves are permanently contracted though.. Its one of the most aggravating about my body aside from the being as big as a side of a house.

    My calves are also disproportionate to the rest of me!!! It's just the way i am built :(

    I am 5'2", 128lbs and my calves are 17" each! Bloody genetics!

    My body fat is around 27% so hoping as i get that down they will decrease in size! Apparently it has something to do with the length of the achilles tendon.

    I have 17.5 inch calves. I can almost leg press 300 lbs (290) but I have no idea what I can squat or deadlift. I'm 202lbs and 5'2" female. So good muscle (in my opinion) and way too much fat. But I get better every day.

    wow! I am a few lbs lighter, 1/2 in shorter...just started leg pressing like a month ago, and I pressed 218# yesterday. Mine are 15.75"

    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)

    You have reason to be proud. Nice.

    Mine are 16".

    I've heard that lack of sleep affects cortisol and sugar levels along with other hormones and if your sleep is bad it can make you store more fat in your calves.

    My calves are huge, 18.25" of mostly muscle. Would like to see if anyone else can compare. Lol. My boyfriends thigh is the same size ad my calf

    Im not trying to offend but you have more fat on your calves then you realize; for comparison, Arnold Schwarzenegger 's calves were 20" when he was competing and his body fat was somewhere between 4 - 10%.

    Mine were about 17 inch (211lbs, 5'6.5"), but then I started Couch 2 5k and now they are 17.75" Sigh. I would like to buy boots at some point calves, could you please shrink?

    My thighs are 27 or 28 I think.

    Feelin' downright dinky: 16" calves on a 5'5" 138 lb frame... glad to know that after years of hating my big calves (not all muscle), they aren't so big after all -- but buying boots is still not easy.

    Wow, I thought mine were big, but I was wrong.

    5 ft 10", 168 lbs and 15.5" calves.

    Yep, boots that go up to the knee and beyond are the major problemo...for me too.
