actually, it's the entire leg, from the knee down.

I can't buy myself a decent pair of boots.

Any boots that have zippers are automatically a big no-no for me. They look like rain boots, or like I'm a toddler playing dress-up in my mother's boots.

And the boots that are meant to be tight-fitting, are not at all. They are tight for about 35 seconds and then gravity pulls them down and they congregate around my ankles.

They have full-calf boots now. Why can't they come up with skinny calf boots??

I knew inheriting my Grandmother's chicken legs was going to come back and haunt me!
