All my life I have had big feet. The good thing is I've saved thousands I'm sure on shoes. I wondered with a big loss of weight (90-100lbs) if people have changed shoe sizes. I'm a 12 even to go to an 11 would give me more options...especially if there wasn't a W following that number. Just curious.

Well typically the LENGTH will not change just the width. My size 12 shoes rattle around and I have to tie them up real tight to keep from losing them. I suppose I could try a size 11 but I have a lot of 12's and still have a wide bridge.

I DO notice hat my feet are a lot more bony looking, but there never was a lot of meat on them as it was, just slightly less now.

Yeah, the width of my shoes changed a lot. I went from having to wear "extra wide" shoes to just normal size.

I gotta say, the ability to wear normal sized shoes, and the fact that my feet really don't hurt anymore... a HUGE improvement!

Lost width!!!!! i lost a size simply because I think I was compensating with bigger sizes to get a comfortable fit.

I was a 12 and can now wear most 11s!!!! I went up to a 13 when Preggo. So, yes!!! Hard to believe but w 50 lbs down...I seem to now have skinny feet. Lol!!

I teeter back and forth between a 7 and a 7 1/2.... almost always a 7 1/2 the last few years (pre-surgery), and ALWAYS a 2E or extra wide. Since surgery I'm able to get into 7s much more often, and very often just a W and sometimes just normal width. I'm LOVING that.

I'm still in size 12 shoes, but they are obviously loose. I never wore wides to begin with, so I'm hoping my current shoes are only loose from being broken in. There's no way feet as long as mine will comfortably fit into size 11 shoes. LOL

Also, hooray for women with big feet!

I shop for shoes exclusively online. Thank goodness for Zappos!

I have went down a whole shoe size and can fit in regular sizes now and not wides!!

YAY!!

i have worn 8.5WW and 9W whenever I can actually find something to fit the width of my foot. I am now fitting in all of the 8W and 8.5W in my closet that I haven't been able to wear in years. I am hoping to go down to at least a consistent 8 and then I can buy some nice shoes again.

Im only on my pre op diet and went from a 9.5 to an 8.5. I thought it must be the cut of the shoe, so I tried 4 different kinds, from sandals to boots and they all had gone down one whole size.

12 to 11

I've gone from a 7.5 -8 to a solid 6!! i had to rid my closet of 20 pairs of shoes and am not starting my collection back up again! this is the best part of having a sleeve!!! SHOPPING!!!!!!!

I have went from 11W to a 9/12 to 10 depending upon how it is made, No MORE WIDES FOR ME!!!!!!!

I went from a 11WW to 9 1/2 to a 10 depending on the shoe and I'm still not done losing.

It is so funny that you brought this up! I bought a pair of duty shoes (white nurses shoes) about 2 years ago. I didn't try them on at all. They were same style and size as the work shoes I was currently wearing. When I got home and put them on to go to work, they KILLED my feet they were so small! I said bad words about the company changing the style, skimping on the size, etc. Now that I am down 64 pounds since my surgery, I find that I can get them on quite comfortably! In fact I wore them to work the other night for the first time. I never thought of my feet as "FAT", but obviously I have lost some fat in my feet as well as other places! I am still a size ten shoe, but wow, do they ever fit better!
