Did your shoe size get smaller ?

I am a tall Gal , about 5'8" ... I have always had big feet. When I was younger I would ask my Dad " Why are my feet so big compared to other girls in my class ?"

He used to say: Honey, you can't put Volkswagen tires on a Cadillac !

Well, I am wondering if any of you Veteran Sleevers are wearing a smaller shoe size now that you have lost a good portion of your excess weight or did they stay the size length but just got thinner ???

I am soooo curious if my size 11 feet will turn into a size 9 maybe or maybe not lol

    NO NO NO - I don't want my feet to get smaller - I bought,OK went a little crazy with sandals this year, and not the cheap ones, they are all 8 1/2s - I really thought i'd have them for the next 5 years. I am going to have a massive yard sale next summer

    You are so funny... I went crazy too and brought pretty summer dressed that I might fit into when I hit goal... and I don't even know what size that I will be when I hit goal.....
