shoe size

Those of you down to your goal, did your shoe size shrink? If so by how many sizes? I wear a size 11 and can't wait! I never can find cute shoes and the few stores that carry my size carry wide only and I dont have wide feet or ankles. Hoping they will shrink but also dont get the science of it, I dont feel much fat on my foot so how does it shrink?

    I'm 6.5 months out, and I went from 12 to 10. Not only are you loosing fat in your foot (some- there's not actually a huge difference in length between sizes next to each other), but you're also pu

Janice when I when I got to goal with my band my foot went down 1 to 1/2 a size, depending on the brand of course. I started at an 8 1/2-9 and went down to an 8

Not sure if it's true but someone told me the bones in your foot get wider with the more weight it has to carry. Something like that lol.

Oh ok that makes sense now

I'm not to goal yet, but already lost 1/2 size. :-) I'm glad.

I'm 5 months out and I went from a size 9 to an 8....

Boy, that is good to know. I'm in a size 12 wide and there are zero choices where I'm at. I'd be thrilled to drop a shoe size.

For your sake id hope youd drop two because there is nothing in 11 either. Its funny the average women's shoe size in America is a 9 yet department stores dont go above 10

4 months out went from a 10 to a 9!!!

Not only are you loosing fat in your foot (some- there's not actually a huge difference in length between sizes next to each other), but you're also putting less compression on your foot. The bones in your foot spread out when you stand. It's why your foot looks bigger when you are standing up than where there is no weight on it. You will probably find that your arch is higher after loosing weight.

Im 4 months out and went from a 6 1/2 WW to a 6 1/2 med.

6 weeks out today and I am a half size down along with 34 lbs!!!!!!!!!!

I'm down 80-90 lbs (official weigh in tomorrow). I lost a half shoe size at about 40-50 pounds lost.

I had a high arch, and as I got heavier it collapsed a bit. I'm back to the size I was in high school - at least the shoe size! So my foot didn't actually grow longer, it just spread out more and is now not being as crushed down.

I didn't find out it was smaller until I got fitted for tennis shoes at the mall. And I no longer need wides!

Now, to find someone who can modify my custom orthotics so I'm not out another $400...

Im 6 months out and went from a tight 8.5 to a comfy 8. Ive always been an 8 so I dont think my feet will shrink any more than that.
