Hey mate, 90% of people have this problem. Could be a dumb question but are you eating in a calorie surplus?
Also I don't mind this article for a bit of info on overall hypertrophy Muscle-Specific Hypertrophy: Biceps, Back and Legs by Menno Henselmans | SimplyShredded.com
Stubborn calves are stubborn.
Just keep persisting. They may take years to respond, mine did and they are by no means huge.
I tried super setting calves last year and I don't think it really did much. They got partially worked each day, but never to a point where I had DOMS or they were that fatigued. I've tried a few things this year with doing mega sets of 50 reps etc. I think the best way is to dedicate half a day to purely training calves and really fatiguing them. I also found dropping the weight slightly and pausing at the top and bottom worked them better than quick little rabbit hops I see people do.

All good lol, no way I'm working out for 4 hours a day. Yeah DOMS isn't the be all and end all of getting results, but it's a good indicator that you're pushing your muscles to grow.
