Koala 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Has anyone else noticed their shoes getting too big? I wouldn't have dreamed that would happen, but I guess it make sense since pregnancy can cause the need to buy bigger shoes. Also, I thought of a NSV I'm looking forward to. It will be nice when I can hang my pants on ANY hanger and not have to bypass the ones with the little supports built in. What a journey! I'm much happier taking the time to soak in the sites on my journey rather than focusing only on my destination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leatha_g 4 Posted October 16, 2006 Yup. I went from a 7w to a 6.5 sometimes W, sometimes not, sometimes a 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JulieNYC 4 Posted October 16, 2006 I wore a 6 1/2-7 consistently until I was above 250. I maxed out at an 8W. Now I'm in a 7 1/2 regular and am interested to see if they'll shrink further or if this is it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mousecrazy 2 Posted October 16, 2006 Imagine my surprise when I tried on some size 9's (I usually wear a 9W) at Target and THEY FIT! The WIDE is gone! Yes, the feet get fat, too! So, when you take your meausurements and they are not changing, remember, there is weight in your face, neck, hands and feet, all places you don't normally measure!

Jachut 487 Posted October 17, 2006 I sort of hadnt noticed that my feet had gotten bigger. I have size 10 feet anyway, pretty much the biggest you can get in Australia in women's shoes, without going into specialist shoes or having them made. Because of the ankle problem - chronic bursitis - that I'd developed that was my main reason for surgery, I had huge swellings on the lateral side of either ankle, in that hollow at the side of your heel and it was very painful to press. So for a year at least, all I'd worn on my feet apart from boots or similar when I went out at night, was clogs and birkenstocks. Which is my general everyday style anyway. But with all the loafers and the like that came into fashion last winter, I suddenly realised I couldnt get size 10 shoes on my feet anymore. Since losing 29kg, and getting my ankles better too, I'm now a 9 to 9 and a half again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fauxnaif 1 Posted October 17, 2006 Oh yes! I went from a 10 to an 8 1/2. I had to get rid of all my shoes and buy new ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dani-X 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Woowoo! Manolos here we come! I bought an AMAZING pair of St. John heels that were the tiniest big snug at a killer price a few weeks ago. After reading how much people's feet have shrunk, I wonder if they'll be too big. Well, if that's the case it won't matter because I can finally borrow my sister's shoes.

sunsett 2 Posted October 17, 2006 I got a ring last Dec for my BD and it was a VERY tight 6 but DH and everyone else said wait a while before you get it resized..lol..not I will have to get it resized smaller not bigger!

I have slip on pretty shoes and I was out doing business last week and I had to climb a flight of stairs outside, they kept falling off on every step...lol...it is fun isn't it!
