I was wondering if anyone has noticed a change in shoe size since they have lost weight. I am currently a 9.5-10 depending on the shoe!! I would love to have a smaller shoe size!!!

Funny you should ask!!

I went and bought some new shoes last weekend and I have ALWAYS worn a 10 in a dress shoe. ALWAYS!!! Depending of my weight, I sometimes need a WIDE!! I wear a 9,5 in a tennis shoe.

So, I get these really cute dress sandals for work and try on the 10W and it is HUGE on me. so I get the 9.5W, same thing! I ended up getting the 9M. My foot went down a whole size!! THAT IS CRAZY!!

I have lost weight before, but never had my foot go down a whole size!! Just the width!

When I lost 70 lbs a couple years ago, I lost a 1 and a half shoe sizes. I never gained it back even when the lbs came back, so yeah you will lose some inches in your feet too.

You will lose in width, but not length. I'm a size 10 and so are all the supermodels!

ps - I'm a shoe-***** too.

I would LOVE to not be a wide width anymore. I could shop at all the cute places instead of just Payless. :)

So far I'm down 67lbs and I'm down half a shoe size or even an entire size depending on brand. My shoes all seem too big and too wide now. I have a friend who also lost a lot of weight and lost almost 2 sizes.

i had a lot of flats and sandals in my closet that I haven't been able to wear for several years. Over the last two weeks all of them now fit me comfortably so with 80lbs lost my foot is shrinking. I was an 8.5 extra wide, so for years now I have been wearing sneakers every day. It is really nice to actually be able to wear something else for once. I can't wait to lose more and actually go shoe shopping one day.

My foot shrunk a whole bumch, and it happened pretty soon after surgery. I went from a 9 1/2 Wide to a regular 8 about 2 months after surgery. I haven't ized myself since, but I think they may have gone down even more than that. Its been hot enough that I've just stuck to flip flops for now. I am getting close to the end (knock on wood) and am going to wait until winter to really but any more shoes. It's amazing how much changes, in't it?

I am a shoe addict. I Have recently bought some shoes, and found I had to switch from an 8 1/2 to an 8. And, the 8 1/2's I wore a lot at my heaviest, I walk right out of now. Wonder if I will end up a 7 1/2 again?

I don't care about the length. I just want the width to shrink. I am sooooooo tired of trying to find something that fits my wide foot. I would love to go to a store and say wow those are cute shoes, I would like to try those on.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
