    Hi MFPals!

    I'm trying to find the average thigh and calf sizes for women online and found nothing substantial to compare myself to. I am bottom heavy and my goal is to fit in regular rain boots but am unsure what the standard calf size is for women. I want a number to set my goals to! Here are my stats:

    Calves: 14.25"
    Thighs: 21"
    Weight:117lbs
    Height: 5'3"
    Body fat: 24.5%

    Stats from women of all shapes & sizes welcome! Thanks for helping a girl out!

    My calves were 17" a few months ago. I've lost about an inch off of them. I have very athletic calves, so they won't ever be slim.
    Thighs - no idea
    weight 151
    Height: 5'7"
    body fat - 23.5%

    So what's the inches where calves will fit into regular boots?

    My calves are 18" and my thighs... well a rather chunky 32"!

    Unless you have slim calves, (neither you nor I do) you have to buy boots that are sized to fit your calves. Most online shoe sites have the calf measurement for the boot.

    I think most boots aim for a 14-15" calf.

    Height: 5"
    Weight 135 lbs
    Bodyfat: 17.1% (last measured Oct 2016)
    Thighs: 21"
    Calves: 13"

    I'm a powerlifter, have a very muscular build and a large frame. My BF is probably closer to 18%-19%? as I have been bulking since last November. Interesting note I'm 58 years old and my biceps are 13" lol. I'm in better shape now than I ever was even when I was much younger.

    Height: 5'2 3/4"
    Weight: too much- still losing
    Calves: 14"
    Thighs: 26 3/4" on left, 27 1/4" right

    I was a dancer most of my life and have strong, large thighs. They are also the first place I lost (the inner thigh). As I'm losing my legs are fairly balanced. I'll feel fine with them when I'm done. I am mostly broad hipped. My boots fit really well at 14" calves but I could get them zipped at 14.5".

    Different body types do exist, so I'm not sure how trying to fit into other people's sizes will help you out.

    I have no idea about body fat, but I am sure my waist is much bigger than all of yours!
