Feet

I have wide feet ....has anyone dropped shoe sizes after surgery?

I also have wide feet and always have, even before I was heavy. I'd been forced to search out extra-wide shoes at my heaviest, but now I'm 90lbs down and finding that regular wides are fine for me now, and sometimes I can go down 1/2 size in length as well.

Thank you! That's encouraging ????

I had to start wearing men's shoes because of my wide feet, so I'm hoping for some weight loss there as well!

I have been wearing a 7.5 EE for years. I had to shop at specialty shoe stores to find nice work shoes, comfortable vacation shoes and a decent pair of boots.

Last week while out with a friend we stopped into a Famous Footwear and against my better judgement I decided to try on some flats, regular width. The first few pairs were a big fat nope but then I found a couple of Sketchers that have some stretch that fit nicely. I was shocked!

Yesterday I put on my trusty ol' Propet Mary Jane's that were never "tight" but fit snug. I noticed they were rubbing my heel and needed to be tightened with the straps. I also noticed that my foot appears smaller in them than before surgery.

Yes! I used to be a 10 wide now I'm a medium with size 9 1/2 or 10 and boots fit my calls! Love the sound of the zipper going up....never gets old

OMG ! i thought it was just me ! I went from a size 15 @ 378 lbs. to size 12 @ 165 lbs. !!!! Fat ankles and feet spreading out when you're heavy is what I believe is why. My hat size shrunk too !

Fat knows no boundaries.. Lose enough of it and of course your shoe size will decrease along with your waist size. Notice that your rings are too loose now? Bracelets and watch bands are looser? Notice that the pendant hanging from the chain around your neck now hangs lower? That, when you shopped for new, leather gloves for this winter, you needed a smaller size?

OMG ! i thought it was just me !... My hat size shrunk too !

Sorry, you'll have to find another way to be unique.

Smaller hat? Surely you've noticed your increased intelligence?

I'm down about a shoe size and no longer need wide shoes.

I went from a 8 1/2 wide to a size 8 medium AND I can wear tall boots, with or without the zipper!!! Necklaces do fit much better and I don't feel like I'm choking.

Yep, I just had to buy new shoes yesterday. 10.5 (or 11, since 10.5 is virtually non-existent) to a 10 so far.

[Wallflower7522 328]

I went from a 12 wide to an 10/11.

[lifeofblair 308]

My feet have gone down a little but nothing too crazy where I haven't had to buy new shoes or anything.

How soon after surgery did you guys notice your shoe size was going down?
