    Again, your feet are the only body part that keeps growing. I used to wear a 7-1/2 when I was in my 20's now I am up to a 9. If your feet have actually shrunk it would be in width, and only because they had some fat on them.

    When I was in high school I wore a size 7-71/2 women's shoe. Now in my 40s I am wearing a 71/2-8, but in men's for the width.

    My question is, if I lose weight, can I look forward to not wearing men's shoes anymore, or are my feet forever widened?

    Thanks!

    I wore a size 14 and 1/2 when big, depending on the cut and type of shoe. Now that I'm 187 lbs, I fit 12s and 13s. Interestingly, I noticed pretty early on (I guess around 240ish pounds) that my shoes were looser. I never thought of my feet or hands as fat, but after this experience and noticing the differences in my hand size upon holding up ebay items for pics, I notice for sure.
