Your Feet & Shoe Size ?

I'm going to have surgery in September, I could use a new pair of shoes before long. My question is, has anyone's feet gotten smaller after weight loss? I wear size 11 1/2 now, just wondering if I will need a smaller size after weight loss.

Definitely a difference now. Sneakers fit normally and don't look like I stuffed my feet in them. Also had to adjust the strap on my slippers that have become my daily wear because my feet looked ridiculous in anything else. Also noticing loss in my calves and thighs.

By the end of the walk I could feel my pinkie toe on both feet getting rubbed raw. Finished my walk, took off trainers and left toe was red and raw. Same for right toe except I had an added piece of dangling skin. Oh what a great feeling.
