Shoe size?

I have a question. Has anyone's shoe size gotten smaller with weight loss?

    This thread makes me laugh! What great news--smaller feet on the way. I'll take that. Reminds me of Dolly Parton who once said,"well, I wear a size six, but the seven felt so good I bought an eight!

I have narrow to med feet. Also in the double digits. I wonder if people are losing length or width? I've noticed that my friends have lost width but so far no one I know personally has lost any length.

I went from an 11 to a 9-1/2. :)

Hey that is awesome! I hope I do too.

Oh goodness, I hope I'm lucky enough to be a foot shrinker! :)

Wow, I would love to lose some length but I think if I do it won't be too drastic because when I was a healthy weight I still had big feet. Goes with the territory when you're almost 6 ft. tall. At least they have cute shoes in larger sizes.

I can't imagine what women did even 30 years ago.

I have been wearing mostly sandals this summer, I noticed them getting looser and looser, in fact my toes now come out the front when I walk. I tried on a pair of size 8 heels and a few other pairs of size 8 shoes that I had and they are all too big. I am now wearing a size 7 :)

I sure hope so! I'm a size 12 now & it's hard finding shoes, I'd love to have smaller feet =)

All my shoes are to big and my flip flops are out of the question. I tried wearing them last week and I kept tripping and falling out of them. Can't wait to go shoe shopping and boot shopping in the fall. I will finally be able to get boots that don't have to stretch just to fit around my calf's. I actually blew out a zipper in a pair of boots trying to fight them around my calf!! When that happened my best friend and I were laughing so hard we had tears and makeup rolling down our faces.

Not only am I wearing smaller shoes, I can wear strappy heels! Wearing heels in general is awesome, but ones that I can actually reach down and buckle (yay!) that don't cut into fat pads is simply AMAZING! Looking forward to winter and the possibility of being able to zip up boots!!!!!!

Yes!! I noticed this last night actually. I'm almost 5 weeks post op' date=' and have been just wearing flip flops lately in this hot weather. Got dressed up in my heels, and my foot kept sliding out of my shoe. I had tried on 4 pairs, and all the same...loose. Although it was a bummer not to have shoes to match my outfit, I laughed so hard out of joy, I'm starting to see the changes in my body and despite the pain and struggle in the beginning, the sleeve is totally worth it. =)[/quote']

Oh no, that means I'm going to lose my strappy sandals. Nooooooooo!!! Oh wait, that means I will have to go shoe shopping soon, all better now. Lol
