Should I buy new shoes?

I have wide feet and measure at size 9 womens . Being over weight I usually buy size 11 shoes so they fit. I'm 80 pounds down and have about 55 to get to goal 153 lbs. I'm 5'7''. I'm worried about buying shoes then dropping therest of the weight and then my shoes get too loose on my feet! What did you do? when is it safe to buy shoes? 10 pounds over goal, 20 pounds over goal?

Time for Payless. They'll be worn out in 6months, just in time for a good pair.

My shoe size hasn't changed with my weight. Has yours gone down with all the weight you have lost so far? Congrats on that too. Perhaps you can estimate from your experience so far.

I would get some new shoes. your weight is different and it's extremely important to wear shoes that properly fit. Your feet have lost weight too so I would invest in 1 pair of shoes that fit you properly and then wait until you're near goal and get more shoes...CONGRATS on your weight loss! :)

I had to buy new shoes.... I still have 65# to lose. I only bought one pair at a shoe outlet store as I anticipate buying a smaller size when I reach my goal.

am a size 9 1/2 wide or a 10 wide but with 130 weight lost now I only wear a regular size 9 or 10 but I notice it when I was down 75 pounds

WHAT!!!!! A woman contemplating NOT buying shoes???? Babe I wear A 13 in woman shoes...yeah i said it....and i would LOVE for my feet to shrink,,,Iam actually hoping they will............,so buy them girlie................

My shoes have become loose on my feet.

Do it! I'm a huge believer in dressing for the size you are not the size you hope to be.

My shoes are too big now :/
