Foot Size Change

dr_soda

Yes, I experienced this. Over my lifetime I've lost about 2 men's shoe sizes from when I was heavy.

Last time I lost weight, my shoe size actually increased by half a size haha!! I was doing the minimal shoe thing with the vibram 5 fingers and vivo barefoot, and it seemed to have stretched out my feet or something. Or maybe my shoes were always a little snug and once I got used to more space I just couldn't go back. Now I mostly wear sneakers, sandals, or wide flats, so we'll see if there's any changes as I lose weight again. I can still wear sneakers from when I weighed less so I'm gonna guess no change for me.

My shoe size has stayed the same but my pants literally fell off in the hallway at work. Time to go shopping.

Yes, I went down 0.5 to 1 size... sometimes I wonder if shoes are being vanity sized, just like everything else now.

Yes! My feet have been changing since 2013. After pregnancy, I went from an 8 regular to a 9 wide. A couple years later and 45 pounds lighter, I went from a 9 wide to an 8 1/2 regular.

Shoe sizing seems to be varied depending on who makes the shoe. But my foot definitely got more narrow.

Yes. Lost half a shoe size.

After losing 80 pounds I lost 2 sizes and went from wide-width to normal.

Had to completely get rid of all of my old footwear (still mourning the loss of some great boots I had), but it's so awesome having way more options having a smaller foot!

I've lost 23lbs but haven't noticed my foot shrinking yet. I would normally fit a 7-7.5 depending on the style. I hope it hasn't. Just bought some Louboutins 7.5 which was already a little loose.

Sure did. went from a "9" to an "8.5" and some shoes an 8. I generally were a 8.5 medium.

lemonychild

Yes!!! It's irritating! All my shoes are loose

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.

MarziPanda95

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.

PrincessParfait

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.

kirstinethornburg

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