Do your feet really shrink?

[Vixynne 695]

Yup. They sure do. I hadn't worn my dress shoes until almost 2 months after I was sleeved. I got dressed, put on my shoes (Yes, I only have 1 pair of dress shoes lol) and they were flopping on my feet. It was too late to stop & try to find a new pair. I was walking up the stairs at the event I went to & I literally stepped right out of my shoe!

You had a Cinderella moment--okay, I know, Cindy was LEAVING the party, but still! Great excuse to go shoe shopping!

Having been skinny before gaining my weight and now having had the sleeve, I can say without a doubt your feet shrink and grow with your body. I used to be 105, and wore a size 6, when I was 265, I wore a 7.5-8. I am not 180, and already back into a 6.5-7. So all you shoe divas like me, BEWARE! Lol! I already had a run in with my shrinking feet. I bought a pari of KILLER heels from Chinese Laundry in Nov right after my surgery, size 8, I keep all of my shoes in their original boxes, and put them on to wear with a hot new outfit...not so fast! I step right in, and right back out of them! Luckily Chinese Laundry has excellent customer service and is letting me exchange them for a smaller size even though it's been 6 months.

100 pounds down and my feet are still the same length...I've been wearing a size 10 since 6th grade so I don't think they'll get shorter at this point! My feet are a bit narrower and my instep is not as full so I can more easily fit into shoes... I used to be a "wide" width in many shoes.. I went to the shoe store last week to get fitted for some new athletic shoes.... and he came out with a MEDIUM WIDTH!!!! After I bought the shoes, I wandered over to the Dansko section and tried on a pair of danskos in medium width and they fit perfectly.... SO AWESOME because in the past, I was limited to only the plain shoes because those were the only ones that were offered in wide.. But now I can wear any cute pattern I want... I ordered a patent leather floral design... YAY for NSVs!

I totally did. I was actually at a bar in Manhattan for a friends wedding reception. My bf was already up the stairs ahead of me, but an attractive bouncer at the bottom of the stairs got me shoe & held it out for me to slip back on! LOL. It was great. When we were leaving he said, "Goodnight Cinderella". Maybe my bf isn't my Prince Charming after all.

Yep, the feet shrink and I am so sad because I love my shoe collection...but then again, new opportunity to go shopping!

[MichiganChic 3,262]

Yep, mine have gone down about one size - from a 10 to 8.5-9. I used to be an 8 before I had kids/gained weight. I step right out of all the old shoes I had. I have a newish pair of sperrys with a floral sparkle. and I only wore them once or twice, and now they are too big. Too bad you can't alter shoes.

My feet are narrower, but I hope no one ever calls me Cinderella!

[KitKat40 100]

Wow I can't wait for my feet to loose weight too LMAO

Oops! My mistake. I thought the title "feet shrink" was a misspelling. I was all fired up to talk about how my "feet stink!"

P.S. I hope the feet shrinking thing is not applicable to the hands and um, other parts, I can't afford to lose half a size anywhere else!

LoL u got me cracking up

[nanaspez 58]

Mine shrunk about 1 size

Great Question! I would really like to know the answer to this from some of the Vets on here. I have a lot of High Steppers (High Heel Shoes) that I really do not want to part with. Unless this will give me a reason to replenish my shoe closet. Ummmmmmmm

Hate to break it to you but you'd best start parting with some t make room for a smaller size.

It seems to happen for most. I have gone down half a size so far and that size is starting to get loose.

[FeeIsMe2 508]

Mine went from size 10 to 8.5

[Pixie Dust 526]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( You mean I gave away all my Ferragamo shoes that were too small on me but maybe I'd get back into them???? I'm too poor to rebuy them now! I was single when I bought them! WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[incontrol(almost) 14]
