Losin4good 690 Posted January 9, 2013 I have a nice pair running shoes. Since I bought them I have lost 115 pounds. They seem really big now and when I run my feet move around. Anyone else experience this? When I asked someone if its normal she looked at me like I was crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGamer 406 Posted January 9, 2013 When I lost weight my feet got smaller, too. Not in terms of length, but overall, yes! I wear birks and used to have them on the last hole and they'd still dent my feet (water retention). Now, I've taken them in 2-3 notches and they feel just fine.

keldolbeth 262 Posted January 9, 2013 I just experienced this recently! I thought people were crazy. I have wide feet but not fat and always had slim ankles. I'm down 140 and was excited to try to wear heels again because I have SOOO many! However, last week I wanted to wear heels to work and tried on three pairs before I found one that I THOUGHT fit. It sounded like I was wearing flip flops walking down the hallway and looked like a little girl playing dress up. I bought a super cute pair of black booties this weekend, a full size smaller.

Matthew 27 Posted January 9, 2013 Lol....yes, I've had this happen after many mass yo-yo weight losses in the past. The clothes i could handle, but there were always shoes that I wish I could have still worn after the weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carol Watts 67 Posted January 9, 2013 I have had this experience also. Before I gained all the weight I wore between an 8 and 8 1/2 in a shoe. After i gained weight I went up to a size 10 in a shoe. Now I am between and 8 and 9. I just bought new tennis shoes about 6 weeks ago and they getting to big already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunnyCox 245 Posted January 9, 2013 I gained shoe sizes as I gained weight. So happy to have lost a size and half. I am back in my 6.5! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted January 9, 2013 More weight pressing down on your feet will make them wider, but also longer because our arch will flatten out to a small degree. Lose a bunch of weight and the arch could rise, making the foot shorter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoozisAnyway 176 Posted January 9, 2013 Yep! I'm down 80 lbs and almost a full shoe size. In addition, my pain from plantar fasciitis has just about disappeared. Yay for smaller feet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillowsAngel_32513 70 Posted January 9, 2013 OMG, I am so looking forward to wearing smaller shoes, my feet are an 11, but i have t buy a 12 due to width, hard to find cute shoes in a 12....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmwheel 127 Posted January 10, 2013 Yes, I went from a 9 or 9.5 wide to an 8.5 medium already...and I'm not done losing. It sucks because I had a ton of really nice wide-calf boots that are not only too big in the leg, but in the feet as well. I have about 2 pair of shoes I can wear and no money.
