I've been in SL for a while, but just recently noticed that the ankles on my avi look weird. I've gone to appearance to try to fix it, but have yet to figure out how to change it if it can even be done. The ankles look like knobs sticking out all around. The foot size is set to 0. I see other avi's with slim ankles. I have tried changing shapes to see if it was the shape I have but even with the Linden basic shape it is still there. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

Not sure how to post a picture, but here is the URL to a pic I just took showing the ankle.

Can you post a pic? I don't think I've seen what you describe before.

I remember when I first started SL, I read in a blog that the foot size of 0 that shoe designers made for was a travesty because it caused knobby ankles, which I saw everywhere!

If you have mod shoes, you could scale them up to fix the proportions I suppose? But it's kind of like the system skirt vs prim skirts, I already have two body shapes to avoid the big butt of system skirts, do I need two more for size 0 shoes and ugly ankles versus shoes proportioned to flatter our ankles?

It could be your leg thickness. The slider setting for leg muscles.
