stand on the stairs with the front of your feet on the stairs with your heels hanging over the edge and lift yourself up and down with your toes.
don't know why you'd want big calves though. gross.

The main superficial muscles of the calf is 1.The Gastrocmenius 2.The soleus.
The bulky one right to the ankle is the Soleus and the deeper posterior tibialis & Hallucis Longus (beef to the heel).
To bulk them up you need to do 1. Calf raises (a variant is Donkey calf raises as Arnold illustrates very well in his film Pumping Iron). 2.Lunges.
For calf muscles you need to do high reps (20-25) per set and you must go heavy ......on a Smith machine as part of squats. The results are almost immediate.
P.S. For stability ,initially, you may try alternating one legged calf raise.
Good Luck

You want them smaller than calf, not bigger. Bigger means either you are retaining water in those areas or you are getting fat and flabby. The human body is engineered strategically so that your arch supports your entire body weight. Your ankles must take a good portion of that and help provide balance. Your legs are supposed to taper inwards from knees to ankle. You want really tight, yet flexible tendons and muscles in that area for that reason.

that wouldn't be a good idea. If you work that area over time you are going to get what is called a "shin splint" a very painful problem that many athletes get and they aren't even concentrating on that specific area.
Take care. Please leave that area alone. It is naturally "buff" if you are active.

on the side of a curb get on your tippy toes and go up and down. You'll feel the burn with fast results.

Make it a habit to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Of course, be safe. If the stairwell is isolated, please take a friend along with you.
