Whenever I see bloggers sharing their Ankle boots outfits on their blogs, I envy them because their Ankle boots look really good. I bought a pair of Ankle boots according to their style, but when I tried them on at home, I found that the effect displayed on the other side of the mirror was completely different from the one in the picture. This is very disappointing. This article will analyze why this is the case.
Why Ankle Boots Make Thick Legs Look Fat
The biggest feature of bare boots is that the boot barrel is tightly attached to the ankle, which can easily create a “horizontal cutting effect”. When the boot mouth is just stuck at the thickest part of the calf, it visually “cuts” the leg into two sections. Especially for people with muscular and thick legs, this design will make the muscle lines of the calf more prominent.
The ankle hiking design of the bare boot’s boot tube is tight against the ankle, which may seem simple but hides a weight trap. When the boot opening happens to be stuck at the thickest part of the calf (usually located in the middle of the gastrocnemius muscle), a clear horizontal visual break will be formed visually.
Thick Leg Type Self-Test Guide
The thickness of the thighs varies from person to person and is influenced by various factors such as height, weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, etc. For the general public, the thickness of the thighs can be measured through the following methods:
- Stand with legs 30cm apart
- Mark 10cm above kneecap
- Measure at thickest point without compression
- Record value during normal breathing
Classification (WHO 2025):
| Gender | Slim | Standard | Thick |
|---|---|---|---|
| Female | <48cm | 48-54cm | >54cm |
| Male | <52cm | 52-58cm | >58cm |
Or observe one’s own body proportions and appearance. Observing one’s body shape through a full-length mirror, if the thighs appear too prominent or uncoordinated compared to other parts of the body, it may be considered that the thighs are thicker. If you are overweight, this issue may become more prominent.
Thick Leg Boot Buying Formula
Knowing that my legs are thick, how do I buy Ankle Boot? Firstly, it is important to avoid buying items that exceed the length of the calf muscles, as this will only make the legs appear thicker. At the same time, you cannot buy V-shaped ones, as the two ends of the V-shape will only highlight the thickness of your legs.
We recommend Ankle Boot+straight leg pants here. Because the length of the pants is just right, it can expose the Ankle Boot, which can increase the visual leg length. At the same time, straight leg pants can cover the disadvantage of leg bending, making the legs appear more straight. The black square head Ankle Boot, when paired with these shoes, creates a visually slimming effect, and with the addition of pants, makes the lower body appear even slimmer.
Thick Leg Boot Guide Conclusion
It should be noted that the thickness of the thighs is not the only criterion for measuring health or beauty. It is important to maintain good physical health and confidence by engaging in appropriate exercise and adopting a healthy lifestyle. In addition, everyone has a different definition of beauty, and it is important to accept one’s own body. The charm of dressing lies in finding the one that suits you best, especially for people with thick legs, choosing the right shoes is even more crucial.
