So there is one thing as a big girl I have always let's myself indulge in and that was shoes. No matter what size I was they always looked good . So now that I'm on this journey my girlfriend tells me that she lost two shoe sizes! Um noooooooo! I own over 50 pairs and I love them all. say it isn't so? Curious did you all lose shoe sizes? Sigh......so new clothes and shoes? Hmmmm just might have to take both clothes and shoe shopping to a whole new level! lol!!!

Tube socks?

Lost 120 pounds......

Lost 1 shoe size

So I am pre-op, I have always been a size 9, that being said in the past 2-3 years I have noticed that my go to size 9 feel tight across the top of my foot, I tried 9.5s and 10s, and my feet drown in them. This is one gal who is hoping that my projected 100+ lb loss will help my feet fit shoes normally again :-D

Mine went from 9 1/2 Medium to 9 1/2 Narrow. I am literally walking out of my old shoes, my feet slide around so much. Also, before I only wore slides with a nice soft thick sole. Closed shoes or very flat shoes were too uncomfortable. Now I wear little short booties most of the time. And very flat thin soles are OK.

I'm praying for a loss in shoe size! Anything will help! I have the hardest time finding women's size 12 shoes, especially anything half way cute!

Me too sleeveless!! I am also a size 12 and it SUCKS!! Hoping to be at least in a size 11!!

I am soooo hoping my feet shrink. Currently an 11 so anything will help. I love shoes but never buy because I have poor luck finding my size. I want cute shoes again!????

Still in size 9, but had to switch from wide to narrow.

Well I haven't had the surgery yet but I buy size 8 because my feet are wide...so I better not buy anymore shoes because I think my true size is actually about 7 which are a lil tight...I wou

Yep, I lost weight in my twenties and dropped a shoe size. Delivered two babies and went back up one size. Gained 100 pounds and went up another. My feet swell a lot, so I have forever bought wide. Hoping to go down one size with the band.

Lordy Lordy, I hope I don't lose shoe sizes... I wear a 7 1/2 wide. I don't mind losing width but I don't want to lose length. My feet already look too small for my body. I have noticed all the shoes I have now are loser and I'm good with that.

I am 3 weeks post op and I went from an 8.5 to a 7. Bought 2 new pair yesterday!

Holy cow, I hope so!!! I wear a 14W--- if I can get into a 13 or 13W it would be life changing!!!!

For those solidly rooted ladies like myself, try Barefoottess.com That site has been a lifesaver for me!!!!

Before surgery I had to buy a bigger size shoe because of fat feet and the fact that they swell. Now I notice my feet swim in my shoes, even lace ups. Hopefully, I can last till the end of May when I can go shopping in the Seattle area (more stores to choose from). I think I will have someone measure my feet before I buy any more shoes, just in case they really are smaller (and not wishful thinking).

lose shoe sizes?

@@butterflypinup

when i first heard saw that questions way back when i was a newbie.............

i laughed - how silly losing a shoe size!!!!

i quickly learned it was true!!!

i went from a wide to a regular width

that was cool

so i guess you never know the changes that our weight loss can effect!!

remember - the ONLY thing we have in common is that we're all different!!!!!!!!

i've heard from some, their shoe size wasn't affected

in other words don't get rid of those shoes yet!!!!
