do your shoes still fit?

Those of you who have reached your goal weights or close to it, have you noticed if your feet have shrunk enough to warrant a different size?Curious, as I had bought expensive but comfy shoes for summer as they are open mesh and opentoe and strapheels.

I am concerned that they may be too big for me next summer.

What do you think?

anyone had that problem?

:scared0:Smart ass that I am....

MY shoes dont fit anymore....my feet have grown LIKE everything else...ask vegasangel :cursing:

You know what they say about big feet....woohoooooo

LOL

My feet have shrunk substantially. None of my shoes fit and I'm still 40lbs from goal. I used to wear an 8.5Wide, now I can wear a 7.5 or 8 regular width(depending on the style of shoe). Some flip flops I still need an 8.5, but tennis shoes, or runners I need a 7.5.

I was more upset about my shoes not fitting than I was about my clothes. I seriously love shoes ! ! !

Mine did too! With the band loss originally it was almost a wwhole size........ so I got to be a 9 or 9 1/2 (who hoo....sarcasm here......still huge and limited cheap options) but I used to be and 10 1/2 or an 11.

I also lost some width too!

BUT I COULD BUY BOOTS OFF THE RACK................that was amazing and of course expensive!

My shoes -at least all the summer sandals (mostly mules) are too big and my feet slip in them if I have to walk any distance. I haven't tried any new shoes on yet, but am sure that I will no longer need a wide width and am hoping a smaller size.

My shoes got loose right away. I still take the same size most of the time but my feet aren't as wide so all the wide styles I used to wear are too big.

im only a month and a half out and already i have had to adjust the buckel on my fav shoes. (i dont own many shoes as most dont fit my foot.)1 foot i moved 1 hole and the other one has moved 2 holes.... very happy!!! it would be nice to be able to buy some shoes and not worry about the width!!

cheers

ange.

Mine shrunk too. I have gone from a 9W to a normal width 8 1/2. I am amazed at how much cuter the shoes are just from going down that tiny bit.

I can't imagine buying shoes that aren't wide. So much more variety!

Mine have shrunk big time. Feet, fingers, body, only thing that still fits are my earrings lol. I love it.

Brandi - what a great line about the earrings - I may use that with friends!

I had my feet measured at a shoe store yesterday. My feet have dropped a half a size in length and have gone back to a medium width. So now, I am getting rid of the shoes I bought when I was at my highest weight and going back to the size I was years ago. Too bad I had gotten rid of most of the shoes in THAT size ages ago. DAMN - I am being FORCED to buy shoes - what a burden! (evil smile)
