Someone mentioned in an earlier post the struggle they had wearing rain boots. I just wanted to let that girl know she is NOT alone! I have never bought a pair of boots that went above my ankles that actually fit around my lower legs. I buy rain boots and have to cut them to wear them at all, and that is total bullshit! I am 250lbs and 5'4, my legs aren’t some insane nonhuman size like the clothing industry would like to make me think they are. I am a pedestrian in a city and walk to 99% of the places I go to and that totals at least 90 minutes per day. My legs are bulky and yes, although I am fat I am quite healthy. I should be able to buy boots that will fit my legs that have worked hard for me my entire life and have carried me to wonderful places.



“But why not just shop in the plus size section for boots? they have wide width!” - Said everyone I’ve ever spoken to about this.



For one thing, those boots are NOT “wide width” at all. At my lowest weight of 198LBS I still didn’t fit into those boots and that was after losing 130LBS. My calf size didn’t change because my legs aren’t deformed or something like that, they’re just big because I walk and workout a lot. I enjoy doing those things and will NOT stop just so I can fit into some boots made by companies that have an unrealistic idea of what the legs of every female in the world look like.





Why does having legs of a certain size automatically decide for me what fashion trends I can and can’t follow? Oh yeah, because all women need to look the same so no one has to look at me and my fat legs in boots because there’s nothing worse than a fatty wearing boots.



Sorry that was to lengthy, I’ve been needing to say that for a long time now.
