    I thought it was a 'made up' word, clearly not:

    Cankles 605 up, 79 down thumbsup.gifthumbsdown.gif
    The area in affected female legs where the calf meets the foot in an abrupt, nontapering terminus; medical cause: adipose tissue surrounding the soleus tendon, probably congenital, worsened by weight gain and improved in appearance only by boots. From the English "calf" meaning wide portion of the lower leg, and "ankle" meaning slender joint of leg with foot.

    So its fat storage, nothing to do with the size of calf muscles. The answer looks like running and kinky boots!

    2 of my favourite things! :j

  • I read a load of stuff the other day about calf muscles and cankles, after a sudden panic that mine would turn monstrously large with all the running - general opinion seems to be that a mixture of exercise (running/ walking plus stretches) and a variety of heel heights are the best things for a 'nice' shape.

    You boys can wear a variety of heel heights too if you like ;)

    Okay I have boots and am addicted to running... but I do so love my sexy London flats if only the actually looked nice with a skirt on me ah well you cant have everything, its getting towards boots time anyway...

    Does anyone else get weird bruises on their legs from running or is it just me? (I do bruise easily as the song goes)

    Hah she cant be more flirty than Rich! ;)

    I think we boys should sit on the sidelines for this one offering advice on optimal heel height from a male perspective!

    Well, you have to try to be helpful, don't you? ;)

    Are you sure the bruises are not from footie or from bumping into stuff? It's not normal to get bruises on your legs just from running. Can you describe/post a pic?

    You love it when I spread rumours - it improves your naughty reputation:cool:

    Everywhere really, but mostly on the front mid calf and on the back same place...it only seems to be one or two at a time though...maybe its all those annoying tourists I always end up banging into :rotfl:
