I great set of calves is probably as much genetics as it is exercise. My calves get quite a bit of exercise, but the genes are against me. I have tiny calves. Not sexy tiny. Tiny as in “where the heck are they?” I blame my mom. Hers are even smaller.

My feet aren’t a matching set of small though, which has made finding a pair of knee high boots (or mid calf, or anything above ankle) that fit well a bit of a never ending boot shopping mission of mine. If they fit my feet they leaving a huge gaping space between my calf and the boot edge, sorta like Wellington boots.

I had a bright idea this year though. I got boots with fluff. Particularly, I got boots with fluff around their tops! The fluff goes a long way towards filling the calf to boot edge gap, and I’m quite pleased with the result. See my chicken legs (knobbly knees & all) in their amazing gap minimizing boots below…
