Mine are huge. No matter what I do. And I've finally come to accept the fact that I will just always have large calves. So I'm learning to live with them.
How do you cope?

My daughter & I (40 & 18) both have large calves but thin muscular legs in general and slender ankles. It's hereditary in our case. I run and workout, but none of that has made a difference in calf size, only muscularity. I have a hard time finding tall boots that will fit over my calves and usually have to try the extended-calf sizes, so I share your distress about this! Other than that, I simply try to keep fit and eat well overall and accept the fact that this is my body, and I am glad I have legs with which to walk!

My calves are muscular because my mom made me do ballet when I was little. Just do some calf raises and lunges and it should tone your calves.

Hmm...not sure, i do no longer likely stay on my physique shape, i'm self-conscious of my shape definite even yet it is not something i will replace, i'm small...nicely short...and toned from years of workout, i've got been referred to as "curvy" and "athletic" and "stacked" not sure if those have been compliments or no longer. i'm a length 8 on a stable day...My physique is long and my shoulders are angular and somewhat wider than my hips which provides me the effect of being taller than i in my view am. My abdomen is flat...sufficient...or maybe though no-one might ever accuse me of being "skinny" i'm no longer fat or obese yet i might like to lose some pounds each and all the comparable. all in all i might say my physique shape is "overall", and seeing as anybody else in my kin has that great-slender lanky build I seem to have lost the genetic lottery...

I wouldn't admit it but mine are ok. But when I workout they turn muscular. Do some calf raises everyday. That should improve the look. Or try walking on tippy toes while at home.

My sister has muscular calves, she wears shorts to show them off!, don't ever wear Capri's! also high heels accentuate them too.
She gets allot of attention from guys, I say..If you got it flaunt it!

My calves are really small, as are my ankles. I find it embarassing. So see, we women aren't happy no matter what we have!
