I understand that as we lose weight our shoe size may change. Im not banded yet but I have serious shoe buying issues. I LOVE them! I dont want to buy an expensive pair of shoes if my size will change. i dont have wide feet so width isnt likely to change much but i do wear a size 11.

I know everybody is different, Id just like to hear of your experiences. And yes possibly help me understand the probability.

Wow - I hope my size 9s shrink!

I've gone from a 10M to a 9M & I have a love hate relationship about that. I love shoes & boots, and I own a lot of them. I've had to give at least 5 pairs of boots away but some of the shoes I can get aways with or just put a cushion in them to give me that support.

It's a tough price to pay for weight lost but I wouldn't change it.

The biggest size I wore was 11's, the shoes I'm wearing now is 8 1/2, no longer wide.

I got 11's more because my foot wouldn't fit in the shoe, not necesarrily because of the length though, but still.

lapbandit,

Your achievements are truly amazing and an inspiration to us all. Can I ask you, are you excercising too? If so, how? treadmill and weights?

i am really hoping my shoe size will go down when i get the band on. this thread just made my day!

NO!!!! Still got the clodhoppers! My feet aren't baking bread anymore though. (that fat bump you get over the tops of shoes)

OH OH Oh, I can wear regular calf tall boots now. Never having big legs I had always been between regular calves and wide calf boots which made it harder than usual to find good boots (I never had). I still haven't found them yet but I am sure having fun looking!

YES. Size 9 to 7 1/2. I have petite feet now! :smile2:

I'm walking out of all of my shoes. I was wearing a 7. I needed a pair of black classic pumps and bought a 6 1/2. After wearing them once and not wearing them again for 6 weeks, they were too big too. I should have gotten a 6.

i went from a 10w to 8 1/2 .. no more wide... :rolleyes2:
