If this is SUDDEN, Silas ... I agree with Liz. Other than that it's usually gravity-caused edema.
I went for 10 yrs with skinny legs/feet post-injury. When I began working and more time in the chair ... my ankles and feet puffed up badly.
After a bad clot in 1995 my swelling never completely resolved. But I could still wear sneakers/shoes. Then I went thru a 2-yr period of severe puffiness (I think it was my food ... many salty casseroles and Campbell Soup crockpot recipes) where I couldn't even wear shoes. My whole body was puffy. 1998-2000
After moving to AZ in 2001 things got better again. I'm doing good now but elevation (in bed) was what resolved much of it. My 6-month stint in bed from a wound made me drop 30lbs. Much was water weight I believe.

check for warmth on skin.
Is it both legs or one?
change in weather in your area?
rule out blood clot?
