Shoe size?!?!



Recommended Posts

So there is one thing as a big girl I have always let's myself indulge in and that was shoes. No matter what size I was they always looked good ;). So now that I'm on this journey my girlfriend tells me that she lost two shoe sizes! Um noooooooo! I own over 50 pairs and I love them all. :( say it isn't so? Curious did you all lose shoe sizes? Sigh......so new clothes and shoes? Hmmmm just might have to take both clothes and shoe shopping to a whole new level! ;) lol!!!

So I am pre-op, I have always been a size 9, that being said in the past 2-3 years I have noticed that my go to size 9 feel tight across the top of my foot, I tried 9.5s and 10s, and my feet drown in them. This is one gal who is hoping that my projected 100+ lb loss will help my feet fit shoes normally again :-D

Mine went from 9 1/2 Medium to 9 1/2 Narrow. I am literally walking out of my old shoes, my feet slide around so much. Also, before I only wore slides with a nice soft thick sole. Closed shoes or very flat shoes were too uncomfortable. Now I wear little short booties most of the time. And very flat thin soles are OK.

I'm praying for a loss in shoe size! Anything will help! I have the hardest time finding women's size 12 shoes, especially anything half way cute!

Yep, I lost weight in my twenties and dropped a shoe size. Delivered two babies and went back up one size. Gained 100 pounds and went up another. My feet swell a lot, so I have forever bought wide. Hoping to go down one size with the band.

Lordy Lordy, I hope I don't lose shoe sizes... I wear a 7 1/2 wide. I don't mind losing width but I don't want to lose length. My feet already look too small for my body. I have noticed all the shoes I have now are loser and I'm good with that.

Holy cow, I hope so!!! I wear a 14W--- if I can get into a 13 or 13W it would be life changing!!!!

For those solidly rooted ladies like myself, try Barefoottess.com That site has been a lifesaver for me!!!!

Before surgery I had to buy a bigger size shoe because of fat feet and the fact that they swell. Now I notice my feet swim in my shoes, even lace ups. Hopefully, I can last till the end of May when I can go shopping in the Seattle area (more stores to choose from). I think I will have someone measure my feet before I buy any more shoes, just in case they really are smaller (and not wishful thinking).
