    mine are 16" and I wish they were a bit smaller. I can't fit my freakishly large calves into any nice boots :)

    I have always heard that you calves should be approximately the same size as your biceps. My biceps and calves are now within a quarter inch of each other, they have been as much as an inch larger. I would surmise that my calves are slightly larger because I have historically focused more on the legs having been a cross country runner and soccer player; when I did lift I did a lot of leg exercises, the squat was always one of my favorites.
    Maybe what people are speaking to is the definition of your calves?
    that could be it

    you probably carry it off really well given your height...It's not small for sure but they are not big either. It all depends how you look overall.
    thank you

    I am extremely envious of all of you with 14" calves. I wish I had 14" calves because I have 16" calves and can't wear cute boots. Have yet to find cute high heel boots with 16" shaft circumference. Most are wait for it....14"

    So to answer the question, no I think that's small. However OP I don't know how much you want to wear knee high leather high heel boots, so my comment may not help you.

    I feel you. I'm 15.5" and can never get good boots unless they're elastic on the back or wide-calf styles. :(

    Def not considered big, probably kind of small for a guy. I never thought mine were big at 16.5" but I'm a girl
