I am old now, and finally happy to have muscular legs and broad shoulders. one looses muscle when getting old, even with exercise. So if you have more than some, then loosing some, leaves you stronger as you age. back when I was 30 something I remember trying on western boots in a shoe store, and was finding them too tight in calves, and then the shoe salesman said something to the affect that he had never seen boots fit a woman like that. At the time I weighed about 112 pounds and am 5ft. 3in. tall. His remark, and me trying to get the boots pulled up-(no zipper kind back then), I was almost in tears.
I have some regular tall boots that fit, but last year I bought wide calf tall boots after trying on regular ones. they are too wide at the top, but with my slipping up on heels with so many boots, I finally found some wide calf that fit my feet so i bought them.
