Feet!

[rdelly01 25]

So I've read that your feet shrink as the pounds are coming off...(I'm assuming they get thinner and less swelling )

So I'm curious to know how many people went down in shoe size after WLS?

[BladeFox 235]

Nope, just feet getting slender. I have a few shoes that just float on my feet nowerdays. Not comfortable at all so I have started buying new shoes. I'm also taking some to shoe repair to see if they can tighten the slingbacks. Otherwise, new is the new me these days.

I went from a 8W ( wide) to a 6.5 ???? I am 6 months out. I just donated TONS of shoes

My are getting more slender. At some point I will have to discard all of my wide shoes which have a sloppy fit now, even with thick socks.

I put on a pair of socks yesterday that are about ten years old. The no show type? There was probably a half inch from the back of my foot to the sock loose! My shoes are sloppy but broke in and ugly and comfortable. I hate breaking in new shoes. Crocs are my fav. I bought the orange Chef Mario Batelli crocs and they are pretty loose. For me, I paid a lot for them so I'm wearing the cussing things!!!

I was shocked when I went shopping for sneakers, I no longer needed to buy wide width. The new narrow width gave me so many more options I may become a shoe girl and buy all the latest styles! LOL

you just made me very happy! I wear a 8 w but my feet are so short! They're very wide and thick. I'm I go down just like you. Though I can fit into kid tennis shoes.

Sadly, I still wear an 8.5 or 9. My calves are now 15 inches instead of 16, and my ankles have gone from 9 to 8 inches. I have flat feet. So I'm not sure they will get any skinnier. Even when I hit my goal weight, I doubt my arches will come back!

I had such high hopes for a smaller shoe size. However, I started at s 9.5 and I'm still at a 9.5.

I've lost two sizes on my feet since losing weight - and i'm not at goal yet.. doubt they will get any smaller though as they are smaller now than when I got married at age 18 and I was 30lbs lighter then than I am now!

I've been wearing 11s for a while, but I think I was really a 10 1/2 wide. Now 10s usually fit. This is beyond feet, but I bought some boots last week - and not wide-calf! That was a total NSV for me.
