Foot Size Change

Doit4theOMG

I went from 9.5 to 8

I noticed the shoes size change after a detox and my inflammation went down 12 pounds. I have lost a total of 43 pounds. My inflammation goes up and down and that seems to be the shoe size thing more than the actual weight. Half of this under a doctors care half on my own.
Getting healthy and staying healthy is the key.

88 lbs down and my feet are still a 10.5 horrible size. But they are narrower. I went from a 10.5 B to 10.5 A/AA. This was no improvement. If anything it made finding shoes harder.

Yeah, this is about my size and it's almost impossible to find shoes. I measure at a B but actual regular width shoes are almost without fail made more like D, so I have to buy the AA, which measures like a B. I feel like out of the good qualities a shoe can have:

Good Price
Good Fit
Good Quality
Good Style

I can get three of those, if lucky, but never all 4. Wide shoes may be difficult to find, but Narrow is nearly impossible.

Really??? I wear a D width, and I can hardly ever find D width shoes. When I buy shoes, it is almost always an investment, because wider shoes are more expensive. I am not a Payless customer.

My feet are very odd. I wore a size 9 until I got pregnant at age 25, then went up to a 10. Stayed there until I lost 50 pounds at age 32 - back down to a 9.5. Then gained weight but stayed the same. At age 40 I lost 60 pounds and started weighttraining and discovered barefoot shoes - shrunk to a 9 (maybe 8.5). Threw out all my shoes and bought all new ones. . then started running a 10 miles a week - feet right back up to a 10!

So weight loss and gain definitely makes my feet change. But apparently running flattened them out more somehow (I have incredibly flat feet to start with, so no clue on that) - because I went up a whole size without gaining any weight... just taking up running.

I learned my lesson this last time - no more throwing out expensive shoes. I am keeping the smaller ones until they shrink again, and if they ever do I will be keeping the larger ones too since I dont know how long it will last!

I have wide feet, like stupidly wide. My foot shrank a bit after 40 lbs lost, but still very wide. Was EEE now just EE. Almost impossible to find ones in a woman's 8 1/2-9 that aren't ugly or super expensive. I actually have a bunion forming on my left foot from wearing too-narrow shoes my whole life...

My feet changed size with every pregnancy. Before my first kid I wore a 7 or 7.5. By the time I had my second I wore an 8-8.5, but now I'm down to an 8. It sucks. I know if I get pregnant that I'm pretty much buying all new shoes for the 3rd time.

Yeah. I was a UK 9 (US 11) but now I'm an 8 (US 10) or 8 and a half, depending on the shoe. You don't find many half sizes in the UK though, so I have to either go for 8 or 9s. I'm actually glad. I could never find pretty shoes when I was a 9! The only women's shoes in a 9 were trainers, many places only go up to 8. Now I can find any kind of shoe.

After my old weight loss, I went from an 11, to a 9.5. ;-;

I wore wide shoes my entire life. Then, at age 51, I lost 57 pounds and went down to a normal width. It's the last thing I ever expected! I think it's a combination of vanity sizing and the fact that my foot bones don't spread as much now that they don't have to hold up so much weight.

Yes I lost 84 pounds andmy shoe size went down a half size. When you loose weight it does effect your feet

kimdawnhayden

yes, really. I guess it's size inflation? When they measure me with the foot-measuring thing, I am a B width. I am also the proud owner of multiple pairs of AA width shoes that are too wide for my measured-at-B feet. I can sometimes pad them out with heel grips under the vamp, that works OK. Cole Haan, I used to be able to buy 9.5AA without trying on, but they got wider a few years back. I have never met a dress shoe that fits in a B width. Shoes are getting wider.

Just a thought - look into those shoe stretchers . THey are wooden, you insert into the shoe (maybe wet shoe first) then unscrew them so they widen. Let shoes dry like that overnight. I think you can get those small enough it just stretches the toe box not the sides so they dont get wide in wrong places.

Yes I went from 8.5 to 7 and even a 6.5.
