Let's talk Feet...



Recommended Posts

I have really wide feet and don't even bother looking in ordinary shoe shops anymore :cry

Have any of you had your feet shrink either in width or size as the pounds have dropped away?

It would be nice to think there is a chance of finding some really trendy shoes that fit as time goes by...

I have just begun my "banded journey", but with just 24 lbs gone, my shoes are getting more loose. My friend had gastric bypass last year and she lost 2 shoe sizes as well as going from wide to "regular". She can wear the "cute" shoes too. I'm with you. I want to get rid of the grannie shoes I have and get something sexier. Can't wait! Let's do it!

Now I wear an 11 or 12 wide. When I've lost weight before, and before I got fat, I wore a 10.

Man, that is what I am hoping for too. I've read several posts about people having their feet shrink some or become more narrow - so there is hope!

Yep, I think everything shrinks, even the feet!

I started out in a regular 10 and even though I can still fit a lot of my 10's, I can also fit some 9 and 9 1/2.

9 1/2 to 10 (preferably wide, but could squeeze into some regulars) before, I'm down 55~60 lbs, and I can wear most 8 1/2's. I still get some wides, but many aren't. The shoes that I wore for my sister's wedding a week ago were 8 regs.

I'm in "Next size Violin Case" now but I hope that eventually I will be able to at least fit in some nice 10 1/2 or maybe even 10. WHooho- that would be soooo cool! :clap2:

For sure they do- I was a 8 1/2 & when I tried some shoes this past fall nothing fit! I had to go buy 2 pair both were 9 1/2. It seemed more in my length BUT couldn't have been true b/c now I am almost 40 pds down & now my old shoes are fitting again! thank goodness!
