Losing Shoe Sizes

[ShoeLover 141]

As my screen name states, I love shoes. I have more than I want to count, and I have a few that are very beautiful and expensive. At my current size, all I can do right now is gaze at them with longing, because if I wear them I would be in pain. But I want to know if anyone has had to buy new shoes in smaller sizes because of their weight loss.

I wouldn't mind wearing a smaller size, because I am currently a size 11, and its hard to find cute shoes in that size. But I have a few pairs that I would hate to have to give up.

Good question. We should be sisters because my love for shoes is right up there with the love of food. After Christmas I went to DSW and came home with 4 bags of hot shoes. I'm hoping I can wear my shoes because I would hate to let them go...

I was wearing a size 8 1/2 wide, now I am back in a 7 1/2 Regular- so your feet will definately get smaller. SOO many cute shoes in 7 1/2 regular- I think I have transferred my addiction! lol

Wow...I wondered about this very concern last night. I had noticed as I had gained weight that my feet seemed to get bigger, but it did cross my mind lst night about this. I was always a 6.5, and went up to a 7.5 or 8 depending on the shoe. I have noticed definitely bra size, and pants are now very loose, and I still have a way to go.

I went from a size 12W to an 11 regular (I'm 6'2", so foot length is proportionate, LOL!). I still wear some of my 12's; I love them, and I just wear thicker socks or use little inserts to take up some of the room at the heel. I can't wear the wides any more because I walk out of them. :-) I've taken this as a sign that it's okay to go shoe shopping. YAY!!!

I've gone down 1.5 in size on a lot of brands. But I don't think it's just my weight loss but an overall re-sizing of products. I was this same weight 10 or 11 years ago and the smallest size I could wear was an 18w. Now I'm in regular size 16. At this pace in 10 more years I'll be a size 6 w/out losing another inch.

Yes and it drove me nuts! All my old shoes had to go. I went from an 8-8 1/2 down to a 7.

OOOHHHHHHH That's one of the things I can't WAIT for!!!!! I wear a 10ww, and let me tell you, finding shoes is IMPOSSIBLE!! When I do find them, they are unaffordable. When I was small, I wore a 9 regular. I would be thrilled to pieces!! 33 days to go!

Before I gained a lot of weight I wore an 8.5 shoe, then I went up to a size 9 and when I was at my highest weight the 9s were tight on me. Now I'm back down to 8.5 for most shoes.

to look at my feet I would not have thought I had much fat there.. but after losing only 40 pounds, I am having my heels (pumps) slip off my heel as I walk. I had to go buy those cushion things to put on the heel to keep from slipping.

Since I have a big foot since I was in 8th grade (size 10) I wouldn't mind losing a little there!
