Cankletop is a form of serious body deformation or wardrobe misuse. The term is derived from the combination or cankles and muffin-top. Cankles occur when the ankle and the calf are connected as one. Cankletop occurs when the cankle itself overburdens a specific type of footwear, causing a "muffin-top" effect to occur on the cankle. This effect can be seen most often on females who choose to wear sweatpants with ugg boots.
