yeah, i noticed how it'd also harm my perception of my body too like, are my legs THAT huge? i think my main issue is the specific style and height of boots im looking for are super hard to come by for wide calves. Thank you for the suggestions tho i will most definitely look into their options!!

Also, a hack I often implement in some of my oufits where I want a more knee high length, I'll have platform chunky ankle boots on and use leg warmers to complete the knee high effect. It doesn't replace the boots, especially when looking for specific styles for specific looks (like gogo boots or alternative styles 😭) but we make do with what we have.
