okay, this made me measure my calves, they're 14" and I'm only 5'2" and I'm pretty sure they used to be bigger when I was dancing all the time. Kinda wondering about my thighs, though (or maybe I should be worrying about my calves) since my thighs are only 4" larger. Isn't there suspossed to be a bigger difference between the two? Ah, who knows. They get me where I want to go over those hills
