What did your FEET do?

This is a huge NSV for me. I've always had big feet for a girl. Kind of embarrassed about it especially because I'm only 5'6 ish.

My brother used to make fun of me and call me Saskwatch!! So mean ????????????

Anyway, at a size 9.5 my feet were already above average. When I gained weight, they grew to a size 10.5!!! ????????????????. Almost 11!!

Oh. My. God. The horror!!

Anyway. I've lost 130 pounds. And I now wear a size 9!!!!! Yes!!!!

Thank you vsg for saving my feet. And no foot pain either!!

so far I have gone from a 9 to an 8. I no longer need wide width either! :D

Same size -- but my shoes in that size now fit much better.

I'm back down to 8/8.5's

I'm hoping my plantar fasciitis calms down after surgery. I am typically an 8.5-9 - but usually a 9 for width. Hoping I can share my daughter's shoes -- she's an 8

Plantar fascitis has been inactive since my surgery. I am down from 10 to 9.5 and that's at 4 weeks out! Hoping for at least another 1/2 size.

I've gone from a 10W to a 9.5; regular width for sneakers/comfy shoes, still wide for heels/boots. Small victories!

I went from 9 Wide to 8 1/2 narrow.

I believe it was inflammation related to the high sugar diet I was eating and the stress of the weight on my small frame.

I pray for my plantar fasciitis to go away post surgery. It is horrible pain!

I went from a 9.5 to an 8.5. I'm super happy! I Still need to lose another 25lbs but I hope I'm done going down in shoe sizes cause I just bought 5 new boots/shoes for the winter.

What did your feet do?

It's a little early into the game for me to know for certain, but I suspect my feet will be saying thank you !!!!!!!!

"You was killing us, Haus".

:D

My feet went from a size 7 to a bony size 6. I needed all new shoes!!

I wear a 15 wide and it is hard to find shoes in this size so going down a size or two would be nice but what I am really hoping is for the foot pain to go away!

I'm a 10 1/2 no . I haven't had surgery yet.. But I actually measured from toe to heel.. And it showed I WAS a 10 1/2. Does losing weight make your length of foot shorter?
