    Height - 5'6"
    Weight - 145 lbs (down from 165 a few months ago, woop)
    Thighs - 21"
    Calves - 15"

    I used to hate my calves but I quite like them now - would like to lose a bit of fat from them but I know a lot of the size is muscle from dance. I'd like my thighs to slim down a little bit more, but as I only have a few lbs left to lose I'm not sure that's going to happen. I think my legs look OK because they're long (I have a very short body in proportion to my legs!).

    Calves: 15"
    Thighs: 20 1/2"
    Weight: 177 lbs
    Height: 5' 4"

    shop.nordstrom.com/c/womens-boots-calf-size
    That site says 15 1/2" or more is a wide calf boot and 13 3/4" or less is a narrow calf boot so an average calf boot must be between 13" and 15". If your calves are 14 1/2" then they are average already.

    Height: 5'3"/160cm
    Weight: 166.7lbs/75.6kg
    Body Fat: Unknown; I'll ballpark it around the low 30s
    Thighs: 23" at the widest point
    Calves: L: 15" at the widest; R: 15.5" at the widest (I need to work on not favoring one leg)

    Hoping to get down to 21.5"/22" for thighs and 14/14.5" for calves (provided I can get the calves the same size) once I'm at my goal.
    I want to wear normal width boots!

    Happy to have found this post! Always been really self conscious about my chunky legs but it would seem they're much more normal than I realised having read through! :)

    I am not average, I am very overweight. But...

    Height 4'11"
    Weight 177lbs
    Calves 14.5"
    Thighs 25"

    No idea about body fat percentage. 40 something I suppose. I am large framed and do plenty of weightlifting. I'm down from 253.5lbs and never measured those body parts before. My calves aren't as massive as I thought they were.

    Enough to make me feel absolutely disgusting in a thread of slim thighed, trim calved ladies.

    I was thinking the same thing - there are some slim thighs on here! My measurements are very similar to yours, except your body fat. I am using an online calculator using body measurements, so not sure how accurate it is.

    Calves: 17.25" (down from 18.5")
    Thighs: 27" (down from 29")
    Weight: 198 (down from 229)
    Height: 5'8" (down from 5'9+" - yes, I'm shrinking!)
    Body fat: 44% (down from 50.9%)

    I find this post sad. If I'm in the range of 145-155 @ 5'11, I could care less what my thighs and calves measure. Size 6 pants fit nicely. Good enough. I honestly don't even know, never measured....

    This is a bit silly...we are all different heights and frame sizes. You can't really compare unless you find someone who has the same build and proportions that you do.

    Calves: 15"
    Thighs: 25"
    Weight: 209
    Height: 5'10"+
    Frame Size: very large/extremely long torso/short legs/large chest
    Pants Size: 8S
    Body Fat: no idea, but I am very muscular

    I don't have ANY fat on my legs (swimmer/dancer) and don't have trouble finding boots to fit.

    CW: 139lbs
    Height: 5'7
    Thigh: 20.5"
    Calf: 14"

    My starting weight was 221lbs and then my thighs were 26"
