I have/had a lot to lose 150# altogether to reach goal so I asked my surgeon about that and he said to expect to go down 1 or 2 sizes as well as moving to normal width so I am holding off on new shoes for a bit :P

I can say that I have to lace the ol tennies a little tighter and there is now more toe room with the 50#'s I have lost so far so I think i'll be needing some new Nike's

Yes, you can go down up to two sizes depending on your current size and normal Fluid retention in your feet. Most of the weight is actually fluid and not fat in the feet.

Yes, I went from a women's size 12W to a 10R when I went from 329 lbs to 214 lbs back in 2009. So yeah, expect to buy smaller sized shoes when you lose more and more weight! Amazing isn't it? LOL

I really hope my feet shrink in width. I really don't care about length really. My feet are wide and I have a he'll of time finding shoes/sneakers that are comfortable. I even had to get men's rollerblades just do I'd have a little more width. And I still get a blister on my foot everytime I wear them. I've lost 47# (I think) since banding and over 100# since my highest weight and I don't believe they've shrunk yet

I'm 5'9 so I have big honking feet as it is. I started having to wear an 11, now...almost 50lbs down...I can wear a 10W or a 10R. I don't think I'll go down much smaller than that. Even when I weighed 155lbs back in the day I was a size 10. My dad always used to tell me I could just wear the boxes from his new shoes...nice guy. blink.giflaugh.gif

As my sister says we have platypus feet. She is a normal size person and takes wides. My nephews even as small thin children had wide feet. We got it from both sides of the family so no matter how thin we may be we take wide shoes. GRRRR

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
