******** 397 Posted May 31, 2013 Those of you down to your goal, did your shoe size shrink? If so by how many sizes? I wear a size 11 and can't wait! I never can find cute shoes and the few stores that carry my size carry wide only and I dont have wide feet or ankles. Hoping they will shrink but also dont get the science of it, I dont feel much fat on my foot so how does it shrink? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purplrose323 32 Posted May 31, 2013 Janice when I when I got to goal with my band my foot went down 1 to 1/2 a size, depending on the brand of course. I started at an 8 1/2-9 and went down to an 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolanz 1,484 Posted May 31, 2013 Not sure if it's true but someone told me the bones in your foot get wider with the more weight it has to carry. Something like that lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSG_VAL 25 Posted May 31, 2013 Boy, that is good to know. I'm in a size 12 wide and there are zero choices where I'm at. I'd be thrilled to drop a shoe size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its funny the average women's shoe size in America is a 9 yet department stores dont go above 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aquitenonnymouse 206 Posted May 31, 2013 I'm 6.5 months out, and I went from 12 to 10. Not only are you loosing fat in your foot (some- there's not actually a huge difference in length between sizes next to each other), but you're also putting less compression on your foot. The bones in your foot spread out when you stand. It's why your foot looks bigger when you are standing up than where there is no weight on it. You will probably find that your arch is higher after loosing weight. 1 miss_cee85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kathp 81 Posted June 11, 2013 I'm down 80-90 lbs (official weigh in tomorrow). I lost a half shoe size at about 40-50 pounds lost. I had a high arch, and as I got heavier it collapsed a bit. I'm back to the size I was in high school - at least the shoe size! So my foot didn't actually grow longer, it just spread out more and is now not being as crushed down. I didn't find out it was smaller until I got fitted for tennis shoes at the mall. And I no longer need wides! Now, to find someone who can modify my custom orthotics so I'm not out another $400...
