Calve work-out question

A couple of questions...
I've been doing 5 sets of standing and 5 sets of seated calve raises and I'm wondering if it would help to alternate the angle to which my feet point from set to set (inward, straight, outward). Does anyone know if this is effective in exhausting the calves vs just doing them with toes pointed straight ahead?
Also, I've been doing weight that I can do 20 reps with because I'm a bit shy when it comes to loading on the weight. I have a fear that my small calves will snap or something under a load where I can only do 10 to 12 sets...any comments on this? Are the calves a pretty strong muscle in general?
Thanks
