What size are you now??? I might be buying shoes from you!! I lost a 1/2 size after the first 40 pounds left me. I think my feet are as small as they will get now even when I lose more. I am only 30 pounds from goal. I wear an 8 now.

I've lost half a shoe size so far...I never had any problems with my shoes before, but one thing I notice is that I can squat on my hindquarters for a long time (like when picking stuff up off the floor)- where before it cut off my circulation and made me want to pass out!

oooo, I hope I can wear cute shoes someday! My heels hurt so bad all the time that all I can wear are Merrells, Wolkies, etc. They are great shoes but not all that stylish and they cost me a fortune. I really am hoping my feet will feel better. That would be such a plus!

I always hated shoes as I have heel spurs and never felt like I was dressed up especially for work. My shoe collection consisted of entirely flat shoes or runners and I usually wore only one or two of the same pairs to work.

After my loss, I have also lost 1/2 shoe size! Go figure! I also bought my first pair of heels the other day and not one ounce of pain in my feet even after wearing them to work 2 days in a row. People said I looked different, perhaps I was walking taller or more confident, I don't know, but I will be looking for more fashionable shoes in the future. I just have to lose a bit more around cankles (where the calf meets the ankle!)and my shins to look glam in a pair of stilletos!

I have feet as wide as flippers, lol, so any sexy shoe must also be closed or have a wide band across the foot. Strappy sandals look pretty ornery on my feet, my toes all squish out the gaps.

Peek, I've had heelspurs too - on the backs of my heels rather than the bottom. Miserable. .

I love my birkenstocks. I found two pairs, new and still in the box, at a good will for 2 dollars a pair. I looked them up on line and they were 112 and 124 dollars. This was a couple of years ago.

Oh I am a shoe-aholic! he-he. I have always been able to wear heels (but never more than 3 inches). I was banded the 19th and even losing about 10 pounds (all Water weight, I know) - my feet are looking slender. I can see the veins in them, lol. AND I don't have the "muffin top" I had in all of my pumps, you know that fat that bubbles over near the opening of the shoe. I am looking forward to a night out on the town in a cute pair of 4-inch stilettos! :P

I put on my sandals from last year, and whoa baby they did not fit. My lovely pump feet from last year stretched them out. Now that I have my narrow feet back; my toes are hanging out over the top rim or my heal is not fitting into the back. I quicky donated my oh-so-lovely-but-hey-its-not-fault-it-they-don't-fit-me-any-more-shoes to the Sallyann. Then it was off to the mall for a pedicure and new sandals. I love getting thin there are so many benefits.

I lost a half size and no longer wear a wide width in shoes...still have some pretty large puppies though...size 9. LOL!

I can wear stilettos now!!!! I'm thrilled! I always wore a chunky wedge before but can actually balance in stilettos now and not look like a fool when I walk in them. I assume its the weight loss as nothing else had really changes. Maybe my posture improved with my weight loss?
