    I don't think it has to be a significant amount of weight. Since I started running and losing - my feet have shrunk a bit. Only a 1/2 size, but it can be quite annoying in heels.

    Yup. Actually, the first place I typically notice weight loss is in my feet and elbows. Kind of makes my legs look ridiculous...I have bigger calves and thighs, okay ankles, and then these thin, flat feet. Bahaha. :blushing:

    I lost 45 lbs, wore a 10 and now I can do 9 1/2 or 9's depending on the shoe. There is hope!

    I've lost a size in my feet, but I also gained a size in my feet on the way up to my highest weight...

    and those are some sexy cowboy boots you are wearing!

    Has anyone who has had a decent amount of weight loss had their feet shrink?? I'm just wondering b/c a friend of mine had the Gastric Bypass last year and she lost over 100 lbs and now her feet are almost two sizes smaller...as a girl with rather large feet *pretty tall* i'm kind of hoping for the same results!!

    :laugh:

    When I first lost weight I did lose some fat in my feet.

    not a weird Q!

    It can be true, I've known/heard people drop a shoe size or two

    BUT :/

    No matter what weight I'm been my feet have never changed size :(
    Would love them to be smaller as they are the largest size available and can be really hard finding shoes that fit and are comfy as a lot of shoes run small :(

    I hope yours shrink tho! good luck xxxx

    I lost a significant amount of weight before and my feet went from a 9 W to a 9M. I went from 200 lbs to 183-186lbs

    I wear 14s... Yeah.

    Odds are that the bones are recentering. Extra weight can make them spread out, as well as fat, and 100lbs would be greatly impacting to the pressure on the foot. Her arches probably went from flat to arched. Fat isn't likely to make they longer, but wider, so I guess you could go to a narrow if you lost enough. You'd have to weigh quite a long for them to be elongated.

    One of my MFP pals posted that her feet were a smaller size now so I guess it is possible.

    My feet are certainly slimmer and much less inclined to puffiness at the instep. Even my husband has noticed.

    ETA My shoe size is still the same just the width has changed.

    I was a 9 before I gained. At my high weight I wore an 11. I'm in a 10 now.

    I haven't lost much weight, but my feet are smaller. It was the first place I really noticed weight loss, too, which was really frustrating. I walked out of my favorite pair of shoes.

    "Really, Weight Loss Fairy? You're making my FEET smaller?! Gee... thanks."

    I have a pair of dress shoes that were always tight on me and now they fit comfortably. A friend at work who has also dropped weight has said he noticed the same thing.

    Yes, when I gained weight my feet got bigger. Now that I am slimmer, my shoe size is down a whole size. Had to buy all new shoes. I am a shoe *kitten* so I didn't mind the shoe shopping! lol

    I went from 238.8lbs to 147.3 & my shoe sizes went from 11/11.5 to about 9.5. I've always had wider feet (still do) but my feet are definitely thinner. Who knew how much fat could accumulate around your feet? ;)

    I never thought I had fat feet or anything but I used to be a size 9.5 and now, 80lbs lighter, I'm a size 8. I'm 5'7" if that makes any difference. I know my fingers got smaller as well but I don't know what size I used to be, but my ring finger is a size 4.5 now.
