    Question How stretchy are tights?

    Seriously- will they fit over my calves? I mean they are bigger around than Scarlett O'Hara's mythical 17 inch waist.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    It varies widely by brand. I think you'd have better luck if you go for ones that don't advertise themselves as "compression" tights. Those tend to be less stretchy than just tight.

    Call TE, they are very helpful with sizing questions. If you have a particular brand and size in mind, they'll measure it, and if you don't, they'll suggest some for you.

    A lot of cycling tights have zippers at the ankle so it shouldn't be a problem.
