I am so sorry you got all these “just accept it” responses. It is lipedema. It is not your fault. It is now treatable. Generally only liposuction works. Some insurance companies even cover it.

I don't agree with wearing mules/slides/anything with a small heel. I had cankles with all my pregnancies and wearing backless or small-heeled shoes just made me look like I was murdering my shoes.
I remember looking down at my kitten heel one day when I crossed my legs and noticing how tiny it was compared to my cankle- like an elephant in ballet slippers. I had to wear them while pregnant due to swelling and the second the swelling was mostly gone I threw them out never to wear them again. I still get cankles when I fly- and my kids are all tweens now!

I have them too and I am glad that something other than ankle pants have come in style.

My whole life I've dealt with them because of the way my muscles and ligaments protrude and extend down the back of my leg right into my Achilles. They make from broadness. I do wear sandals with a low heel and it helps when I'm wearing dresses.

I also have cankles - have since I was teen. Super annoying. I def don’t wear socks, sneakers and shorts due to it.
But anything w/ some heal works and honestly lots of pants (which I prefer for other reasons too -esp being pale).
I do think when my calves were more toned, it looked better so thinking of getting back to that.

Look for mules and slide style sandals with a small hidden wedge. Never wear capri length or midi dresses. Never wear ankle booties or a shoe with an ankle strap. The idea is to have as long of a line from knee to foot as possible. Keep your shoes delicate and when appropriate, skin tone neutrals.
Try calf exercises to tone and define your calf and make your ankle look smaller by comparison.
Maxi dresses, loose linen pants, or knee length dresses.
