rdelly01 25 Posted October 20, 2014 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BladeFox 235 Posted October 20, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzymonkey 38 Posted October 20, 2014 I went from a 8W ( wide) to a 6.5 ???? I am 6 months out. I just donated TONS of shoes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted October 20, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimpossible67 608 Posted October 21, 2014 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibble 28 Posted October 21, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marietizzy 5 Posted October 24, 2014 I went from a 8W ( wide) to a 6.5 ???? I am 6 months out. I just donated TONS of shoes 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forsythia 882 Posted October 24, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappygoSusan 296 Posted October 24, 2014 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. Susan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
able2cope 193 Posted October 26, 2014 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!

thesuse2000 698 Posted October 26, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
