Random question

Hi all! Random question.

I'm am getting sleeved in June. I have super wide feet. Like size 10. But the length of my feet fit a size 8/9. Has anyone's feet gotten slimmer after losing weight?! I'm hoping it happens to me. I'm always tripping over my own feet bc my shoes are too long lol

  • I went down a shoe size and lost 1/2" in height! I apparently was carrying lots of weight in my feet...including the bottoms!

Yes! 2 weeks after my sleeve I went down a shoe size. Only 4 weeks out so I don’t know if it will be more. Also went to get my nails done and have been going to the same lady for years, she said I went down a nail size too [emoji3]

Whoa! I had no idea you could go down a nail size lol

I started this wearing almost an 8 in most shoes but if I was lucky and found a true wide, I could wear a 7W. I now wear a 5.5/6 Wide (depending on shoe type and brand).

I've lost 60 lbs so far, and my feet are definitely smaller (width and length, actually).

I've gone from an 11 wide to a 10 regular

I'm 8mo post op and I've lost 90lbs and my feet have definitely slimmed down. Length wise I'm still am 11 but all my shoes are loose width wise
