Has your shoe size changed after your weight loss?

hello_momo

yes! i thought it was just in my head. i've lost 10 lbs. and recently went shoe shopping. i've been buying a size 8 for the past few years and none of them fit me! i had to go back down to a 7.5 which is what i wore when i was in my early 20's & thinner. it was a nice surprise!

I am on the flip side of this scenario...as I am just at the beginning of my journey to a new healthy lifestyle that I can sustain.

Since middle school, I wore a size 9 regular. Now as I have gained weight as an adult, I have to buy a 9.5 regular most of the time. Not for the length, but for the width across my toes and top of my foot. Especially in dress shoes/pumps. I work an office job where we have a "professional" dress code - which means dressy shoes...and I have a closet full of beautiful shoes that fit perfectly when I bought them. Now, they are so tight they pinch my toes or press on the top of my foot and it hurts so bad, I can't wear them.

I am not going to get rid of them though...I think I will just lose the weight and get back into them!!! Wish me luck!!

In high school I lost about 20 pounds and TWO shoes sizes! Since then I've gained it back, lost it again, etc. but my shoe size has remained the same. Weight loss is strange...

I've gone from wearing a 9.5-10.0 to an 8.5-9.0 and don't need wide width anymore. Still need wide calf though if I'm getting tall boots.

Yes, I went from a 8.5 womens regular to 7.5 womens regular.

Sorry for minor thread necromancy, but I was shoe shopping today and was deeply disturbed to find I'd lost 1/2 a shoe size somewhere along the line. It made finding shoes that fit a little tricker than expected.
