I've been wanting some Ugg Boots, but my calves are also way to huge, and I wear a 12 quadruple wide.

I am almost 10 months out and I am shocked that I have gone down a WHOLE shoe size.

What really surprises me though is I NEVER, even at almost 300 pounds, thought I had fat calves.
Well, long, high-heeled go-go types boots were so darn cute this year and since I am wearing skirts more and more, I decided to treat myself to a pair. Forget about it!!! My calves did not fit into a single pair I liked. Not one. I pushed and pulled with every ounce of energy I had. Who is wearing all of these skinny girl boots? I felt really bad about this until I was talking to a cutie-girl at work that is a petite size 5 or 7 in dress clothes and she said she couldn't even wear them.
I know I could get them from one of the plus-sized stores, but I'll be damed if I've come this far to have buy my shoes from one of them if I don't even have to shop there for clothes any longer.

Are your twins boys, girls, one of each...it's always nice to talk to a fellow twin-mom, especially one who has twins older than mine...encourages me to believe I might survive! HA HA

Ohh you will survive .. trust me if I did you will..My twins are boy/girl and they are a hOT mess.

If you have a rather fatty foot, it will definitely becomes thinner. I went not only down 1 size, but the best is that I can try shoes I could no longer think of trying to slip my foot in. Such a great feeling. 1 month ago I finally bought a pair of Todds I was dreaming about. Pure happiness.... yes I like fashion.

You will enjoy
