AuriP 420 Posted June 4, 2014 Just a question about shoes. Did you lose shoe sizes after weight loss and were you able to wear different kind of shoes now that you weren't able to prior to surgery? I really want to start wearing wedges and heels but my feet, ankles and knees hurt terribly with any shoes higher than 1-2inches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
microdot 28 Posted June 4, 2014 Yes! I was a 7 1/2 - 8 before surgery, and now I am a 6 1/2-7. I bought my first pair of platform pumps several months ago, and I am able to walk in them with no problems. 1 BeagleLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sassy14 178 Posted June 8, 2014 Huge change! I went from a 9 wide to an 8 or 8 1/2 and I can wear heels! I bought a pair of beautiful high heeled boots and wore them all winter. Now I am wearing heels 2 - 3 inch heels, platform sandals and wedges daily. It's what 120 less lbs does! My knees and ankles were awful before and I had to wear orthotics. No more!

Wallflower7522 328 Posted June 8, 2014 I was a 12w when I started loosing weight and now I'm down to about a standard 11. I'm only 3 months out but I was thrilled about this part. It was always really hard to find shoes. The only thing that sucks is that a lot of the shoes I did have no longer fit, but at least I get to buy some new ones.

ladykatie_ 117 Posted June 8, 2014 Wow, didn't even think about the possible size change... I can't wait to feel comfortable walking in heels and wedges but I guess I shouldn't buy any shoes until I lose more weight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AuriP 420 Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks for the replies ladies. I currently wear a size 8 -8/12 in shoes depending on the style and a 9-10 in sandles and wedges due to my feet being so wide. I can't wear standard size boots becasue I have 18" calves, they arent even flabby. I have pretty muscular legs with barely any jiggle. Sigh, I cant wait until I get a surgery date. 1 Roostertail2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilBoo007 491 Posted June 10, 2014 I want from a 6 1/2 to a 4 1/2 (kids) or 5 women's depending on the shoe.. I can wear heals as well but not like 6 inches or anything but I have been known to sport 4 to 4 1/2 inch!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamsoworthit 430 Posted June 12, 2014 I went from a six wide (when I could find them) to a five normal. I can wear kids 4s too and bought sperry topsiders in the kids department for 50.00 cheaper than the exact same shoes in the womens dept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
