Bought knee high boots that wont zip! help?!

If your legs are like mine, there's at least some fat on top of the muscle. So losing fat helps. And you could just have calves that are too wide ... I have a pair of horseback riding tall boots that I'm an inch from ... I'm hoping I can fit in them in 6 months!! Good luck! (and if someone else has more info - awesome!)

Unfortunately, even at my skinniest - knee high boots just don't work with my legs I'm no help at all. I was running over 30 miles a week at the time and still no dice.

what can i do to make my legs smaller? Theyre winter boots, so Ive got a lot of time...but I really wanna lose leg mass without gaining muscle (my legs are already greatly muscular) !!
Its pretty frustrating...help??

I have man calves. I can never wear regular boots. I suggest you find out where drag queens do thier shopping for boots.

I absolutely love my knee high boots and so does the hubby! I am going to have to buy some new ones soon mine are starting to get too worn. Oh and what a fantastic idea with zipping as far as you can and then scrunching them down! I have never thought of doing that.

Ditto what Sandara said. I used to get a catalogue of mail order stuff for plus sized girls. Even if you yourself are not plus sized your calves may be. I think it was called Roaman's or something like that, they were a division of Lane Bryant. Or try to google extended calf boots, you may find something there too. good luck.

ps- yes the scrunchie thing works but it creases the boot which causes them to slip down and scrunch on their own. Just beware.

So one of my Diva girlfriends told me how to get the zipped. I did this trick before I had lost some weight and it worked fine. The trick is....to zip them up as far as you can then scrunch them down to the skinner part of your calf and zip them up the rest of the way. You then have to pull the boot up all the way. It sounds weird but it works. When I bought my first pair of knee high boots there was a thin petite lady who couldn't get them zipped either. She tried it and it worked like a charm.

So you just absolutely saved me. I am 25 and blew out my knee last summer. I had to stay off it for it to heal. I gained so much weight and totally lost my confidence. Then last November I had a heart attack. To lighten my mood, I bought myself so sophisticated knee high flat boots. Got them in the mail and I was like a kid! I torn them open ready to put them on thinking how pretty I will feel and what I planned on wearing with them. Low and behold, my fat calves prevented me from zipping them 75%! I was so mad, then I just flat out got depressed, it was like a punch in the heart.
Well, they went to my closet. I have been working out and dieting with a lot of goals in mind. Meanwhile they collected dust. Well here I am now after ready this, wearing my boots. I have lost a little weight but not much if any change was in my calves. You so upped my self esteem, thank you 100000x thank you for sharing this advice!!!!

Ha.. I have big calves too, I don't mind them I actually love them. I do have issues with knee high boots since I wear size 4.5 - 5. They never fit. I now get models with an elastic band to stretch.

You can't spot reduce. To make your legs smaller, you have to lose fat from all over your body. Log everything you eat accurately & honestly. Find reliable database entries. (There's a lot of incorrect data in there.) Weigh your food. Log your exercise, and eat back your exercise calories for two weeks. If you're still not losing, eat back half your exercise calories.
