Heels?

Ok so I have a funny question. Have any ladies who have lost quite a bit of weight (I have about 100lbs to lose) noticed that once they lost weight high heels were more comfortable to wear? When I wear heels at this size I feel like my weight makes them so painful because I'm so heavy on the heels. Crazy question I know but I would love to know!

Yes. You lose weight everywhere, including your feet.0

When I lost weight my shoes were looser and had to buy inserts so they fit better.0

Yes ... I have arthritis in my right foot. When I was heavier, wearing high heels was almost impossible. So painful. But one day, after I had lost about 15 kg, I decided to wear a pair of high heeled boots, figuring I'd be out of them by lunchtime ... and I wore them all day fairly comfortably.
Most of my shoes seem more comfortable now and even though the arthritis is still there, it isn't as painful as it was.0 -
Yes carrying around less weight puts less stress on your heels. Makes sense!0

I bought a pair of heels a year and a half ago when I was 60 pounds heavier. That week, I tried to walk the 25 minute walk to the train station in them and had to change into flats soon after because I couldn't handle it. Fast forward to last week , 60 pounds lighter, wearing the same heels in a nightclub in Vegas, dancing the night away for HOURS. I was totally fine in them! How exciting! So to answer your question, yeah I've noticed that I'm more comfortable wearing heels after a big weight loss.0

Yes, way easier on my legs and feet. Even funnier is that my shoe size actually went down! I was wearing a size 10 shoe and had to.drop to.9 - 9 1/2 after I'd lost about 50 lbs.0
