Feet

[It's time. 145]

Weird question... did your feet get smaller when you lost weight?

[catwoman7 11,212]

I was a size 9 and still am, but I now take a medium width instead of wide.

however, some people's size goes down a bit, too (like from a 9 to an 8 or 8.5)

YES.

I went from a 7.5-8 to a 6-6.5

On the bright side I got to buy new shoes, lol. INCLUDING tall boots that I hadn’t been able to wear in YEARS.

I no longer need Wide shoe size.

I lost an entire shoe size!

This actually gives me so much hope. I have all these great shoes in a size 7N, but the past few years my feet have grown to a size 8. I've been thinking about selling/donating them, but maybe I should wait a while after my surgery to see what happens?

yes - there's a chance you'll be able to wear them again...

Yes! A lot!

I'm resurrecting this thread- I was wondering about this and a quick search shows you guys have had this discussion before. I have been wearing size 11ee, but lately, my feet seem to slide around a bit in my shoes. I went back to a pair that was normal width and they seem to fit better. For years, I was a 10 1/2 D and I am wondering if I'll go back to that. I think I still have some in my closet.

My wife went down .5-1 full size did but I didn't. I've always had big feet even before I put on weight. 14 4E before surgery and still wear that now.

I went from a women’s US 11 wide at my heaviest to a current 8.5-9 depending on the shoe.
I put on my oldest’s shoes on accident the other day because they’re the same color as mine and was like “hmm this feels a bit snug.” But I guess a well worn 7 1/2 fits in some cases, too. 😂

I never gained weight in my feet so my size didn't change as I lost the pounds. One thing that did change though is my calf size! I can wear tall boots now, which I never could before (even the standard wide-calf boots were too small for me).

[catwoman7 11,212]

I still wear a 9, but I'm a medium now instead of a wide.

SAME!

I was so happy when I was able to zip up some tall boots over my calves. I barely (just barely) fit into extra-wide-calf boots early in my obesity "career", but the last years just before surgery I couldn't anymore, even if I put on one 2 sizes up.

Now I can even wear jogging pants tucked in them just fine, lol.

I went from a 38.5/39 to a 38. My feet were slip sliding around in my sandals & flopping about in my closed in shoes. I think they’re a little narrower too as my little toe doesn’t get as sore as it used too (from pressure on a nerve).
