    My shoe size didn't change but my width did. I went from a wide to a regular. Finger crossed if I lose another 10 pounds maybe I will drop a size also in the foot area!

    Yup, after losing 75lbs, I went from a size 9 down to an 8. Aw shucks, I had to buy new clothes and new shoes - it was tough :smile:

    This is a timely topic. I tried 2 pairs of shoes on that I haven't worn since last spring. I have lost 23 pounds since January. One pair is 7-1/2 wide width, the other 8 reg. My heel totally slipped out of the 8 and the 7-1/2 wide I wore today with thick socks. They were still quite loose with thick socks and I had to concentrate to not walk out of them. I didn't notice a change with my tennis shoes I work out in; other than my feet don't seem to fall asleep as much.

    Yup, it's a thing. You lose weight in your hands, too. I actually had to buy new gloves this past winter, too!

    I went from an 8 to a 7.

    My rings are all so loose now!

    Sure hope mine shrink. I'm at my heaviest ever right now. My feet are 6-6.5 ( EE). Size 36 in Birkenstocks. The only comfortable shoes for me are Birkenstocks. I need bunion surgery and I also have slight avascular necrosis ( from cortisone/prednisone) in both ankles and all four bones in both knees.
    I love my Birkenstocks but I would be thrilled to wear my Danskos again!
    The avascular necrosis has caused me a lot of inactivity and weight gain. I was in a wheelchair for 6 months last year and not only inactive but terribly depressed about my condition.
    I'm now able to walk almost 2 miles and often, I'm able to do it twice a day! I had both knees operated on, with stem cells placed inside the bones from my hips. It seems to working, along with blood thinners and plaquenil. I may have the ankles done later this year but recently the lesions have shrunk, hopefully from the blood thinners. Woo Hoo!!
    Anybody with joint or bone disease, please friend me!

    I need my ring to be loose! I have a really nice wedding ring that I had to take off because it was giving me a blister and rash from being so tight.

    Yes, i was a 10wide and now I am 9-9.5 reg. the cool thing is I can wear ladies hats now. Hats were always too small for me. Buying shoes off the rack is so cool. No more mail order or men's shoes

    I thought I was going crazy finding that certain shoes were too big, but it seems to be the truth. Have had to ditch a few pair. With 25 lbs. lost, I dropped half a size from 10 to 9.5 :smile:

    I went shoe shopping over the weekend and it appears I've dropped another 1/2 size which brings the total shoe size down 2 sizes and from wide width to normal. :noway:

    I thought my boots were getting a little looser, but this didn't cross my mind at all. Crazy! I really hope they stop shrinking though. haha

    After my mother had Gastric Bypassm her feet went down a whole size (and she already had tiny feet). She also stopped wearing wide width. She was pretty excited about it because 1) she's in a shoe size that practically no one wears so she knows they always have her size available in whatever style she wants and 2) a lot of shoes don't come in wide.

    I hope I lose weight in my ankles. I have big ankles (cankles) and would love to wear whatever strappy sandals and heels I'd like.

    You know, my shoe size has been shrinking...and I couldn't explain why.
    I can fit into a 7.5/8 now, depending on the brand, and I used to regularly wear 8.5 or 8.5W. It's awesome!

    You know, I didn't even think shoe size could change. But I put on a pair of my wedges the other day, and they were falling off of me. So I'm thinking I did lose about a 1/2 size or so. Weird!
