I've only lost 15 pounds but me shoes are already big. Can that be possible that soon after surgery. I know my feet are going to get smaller but soo soon?? Maybe I'm going to loose weight starting in my feet and then working up. Who knows :-)

I have gone done 1/2 a size in shoes. I am now between an 8 and 8.5. I've been buying new shoes lately.

My feet were fat. And now they're skinnier just like the rest of me. I've worn crocs so long... and now I love trying on strappy heels!

I wear Crocs & sneakers with orthodics (?) in them. I love my Crocs & have several pair in several diff colors. I have 2 pair of dressy shoes for weddings/funerals. That's about it. It's no fun dressing up at nearly 300 lbs so didn't care anymore. Once I lose a decent amount of weight, I'm going shoe shopping! Can't wait to wear strappy heels!

Funny thing is this is one of the main things I look forward to after surgery! So many cute shoes my fat feet cannot fit!

I was soo excited to go clothes shopping once I lost the weight but now to look forward to clothes and shoe shopping!! Can't wait.

I buy men's shoes because they're wider. I can't wait to get cute shoes. I might become a shoe-a-holic!!

I think they "shrink" in length because the arches revert back to their normal height ...which pulls the foot up in the middle...think of a piece of kleenex that you pick up from middle...sides pull in leaving less distance from front to rear.

This is exactly what happens, I have a friend who is a podiatrist and explained this to me. FYI he used the tissue example as well lol

I am 3 months out and 58 pounds down and have lost almost an entire shoe size. I also wore orthotics in my shoes the last 20 years and now find I don't need them anymore. Also to the person that asked earlier yes my feet were a size smaller when I was younger and skinnier so hoping to go back to that size again.
