Is there a way to lose weight in just your calves?

I've got thicker calves... and they don't allow me to easily find a pair of western boots that I actually fit comfortably into. I mean, they're not huge, but they're annoying, lol. I'm 157 lbs, 5"2... I want a new pair of boots, but they don't fit right because of my legs :(

Update:

@Fanny

Very funny... Really your comedy is killing me... Seriously, I'm dying here. Wish you could see this. I mean really, you're just too stupid.

Update 2:

I currently AM on a routine workout and diet; and I'm also in the Amry National Guard, and most of it IS muscle, thank you very much for the rude and unnecessary comment....

People are so cruel, and ignorant.

    Go for a run.

    edit - if its all 'muscle' then what are you worrying about? Some people just cant pull of certain things. For me its being able to find a career that I actually like.. for you its not being able to fit in cowgirl boots. Jeez your 157 at 5 2? That is obesity. You must be one muscular chick!

    Not really - it isn't easy to target such a specific area. A lot of the calf is muscle, so I'm not sure that you'll be able to slim it down too much. You could try calf exercises to tone them up, but I don't know that they'll change them too much. Hope you find some nice boots...

    Regardless of what anyone tells you there is no way to "spot treat" fat off portions of your body. By increasing your physical exercise and maintaining a healthy diet you will lose fat from your entire body which will slim your calves as well.

    If you are 157 pounds and 5'2" you should probably be more concerned about the fat than you are boots.

    Apologies. I didn't realize that you had SO MUCH muscle that your BMI rating was borderline obese.

    Don't allow your calves so much grazing pasture. That will keep them slim.

    Also tell all your livestock to mind their own business about your footwear.
