Do your feet really shrink?

Hate to break it to you but you'd best start parting with some t make room for a smaller size.

It seems to happen for most. I have gone down half a size so far and that size is starting to get loose.

I am such a shoe hoarder that my husband built me a shoe wall in our basement. I can give away clothes, but my shoes it will be hard.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :( You mean I gave away all my Ferragamo shoes that were too small on me but maybe I'd get back into them???? I'm too poor to rebuy them now! I was single when I bought them! WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( :(

Honey How did you do it? I just can't!!

I would think they could shrink. Before kids and gaining weight I was a size 8-8.5, now I'm a 10.5-11

This will be interesting...I have flat feet and have been a size 10 since I was 10 years old (apparently Bigfoot is a distant relative). Over the past year, I have felt more comfortable in a 10.5 or 11...I would LOVE to be smaller than a 10, because, although the time has passed where shoe stores would only get one size 10 in each style, shoes just look so much cuter in a smaller size (like clothes do!) :-)

I am a size 10/11...my tens had gotten too small for a few years...now I am back in them. I think it is just the swelling is gone now where my diet is different now. I am 5'10"...my feet are not going to shrink, but they have stopped the every day swelling out of my shoe...

Oh, I so wish I hadn't been able to part with mine. I hadn't been able to wear them for years & my foot size has grown so figured it was a lost cause keeping my closet cluttered for no reason. I'm just sick about giving them up. Of course, now it's been about 10 years since I gave them up, but you know, they were classic shoes, so they never go out of style. I adored them but there is no way I can ever afford another pair. I had bought 2 pair when I was single & then my husband bought me another 2 pair for my birthday one year. My first two pair were from the Beverly Hills store on Rodeo Drive....I used to work in B.H. when I lived in CA, so I'd go on my lunch & window shopped (& saved a lot) till I could afford my first pair!! They were as comfy as sneakers & soooooo pretty!

Hey! Maybe I'll start saving now & by the time I get to goal, I will buy myself another pair! Yeah...right. For some reason, now that I'm a Mom, I can't even make myself spend that kind of money on just shoes. Good luck going shopping for yours!
