Has anyone gone down a shoe size?

I can't wait for this! My feet are wide and fat and it really limits my choice of shoes, I'm going to resist buying many good shoes until I lose the majority of my weight though and find out my final size my feet have already lost the puffiness of carrying water weight which has made my shoes more comfortable but I have a pair of work shoes that I bought a few months ago and would love to wear soon

my length is still the same but my width has shrunk.

Well, I think in european shoe sizes, because I'm, european. But I definetly lost also half a shoe size; more to think, it's more likely a 3/4 shoe size. Before I wore 39 on shoes and was a little lose, but know I definetly can wear 38. It depends of shoes (every type of shoe seems to fit me in a different size), but all over I fit in smaller shoes. And I had to trow most shoes that are not fixed on the foot (like heels and ballerina pumps) because they went off my feet while walking.

I went from 44.5 at 273 to 42.5 at 208. I'm American but that sizing is better and it's what I go by to try on shoes :P (I was like an 11.5 and now I'm a 10.5/11). None of my flats really fit anymore but I'm going to wear them out and buy a couple pair that fit and try to make due with that. My running shoes get replaced semi regularly so that's where I see the difference the most.

Yep. I was a 10/11 depending on the brand. Now I'm solely in 10s, and even had to get a pair of 9.5s to wear to my brother's wedding.

After 15 pounds I lost half a size! I went from a 8.5-9 to a 8-8.5 all my flats are feeling to big, heels and sneakers still feel fine.

I'm glad y'all mentioned this. I thought I was losing my mind. My shoes were getting a slippy. I did buy a new pair of tennis shoes a half size smaller and kinda assumed sizes had changed. Like the shoe version of vanity sizes.

When I was in high school, my shoe size was 10, but then during college, it went down to a 9 with weight loss. It was nice until I gained the weight back, and none of my shoes fit.

Haha, me too! I was just saying like a week ago, "they're making shoes bigger!" xD

I have an interview and I needed some shoes for my outfit. I tried on some shoes in my size and they fit but the back was sort of slipping, I tried on another pair same thing. I got the first one that felt best. I went to another store and found some really comfortable and pretty cheap shoes. I tried on my size again same thing. I thought are these shoes all a bit too long? I tried a half size down - the size I wore before having my kids. They were slightly tight but didn't slip and when I walked around in them they really felt good. Has this happened to anyone? I am not even at the weight I was before my kids.

Me too. I'm down 91# and all my shoes flop off now.

ETA: haven't bought new ones yet though to see how much smaller I got. My birthday is coming up soon so I think that's what I'll do!

OMG, me too. After my wedding rings kept coming off my husband took me to Wal-Mart and got me some cheap ones to supplement until I get to goal when they will be resized.

I've also heard that as you age your feel shrink.

Is that it? In the last 15 years, I've lost over half a size in my feet regardless of what my weight was doing. I thought they were starting to vanity size shoes, too!
