Did your feet get smaller with weight loss?

Slim140

I seem to have gained a whole size in shoes as i got older and bigger. I don't know if its the age or the swelling from walking so much.

Mine seem to have gotten smaller, but not by a lot

I gained two shoe sizes while pregnant, I have noticed my shoes have gotten roomy lately. Idk how much smaller they have gotten though as I haven't tried on any smaller shoes.

No but my boobs did lol

If you had fat on your feet (swollen even) due to being overweight your feet could be loosing inches

They can. Just like the rest of you.

Funny just recently I found out the hard way that my feet were a lot smaller. I bought a whole new outfit to go to my Uncle's memorial, but not shoes. I grabbed the outfit, shoes out of my closet and off we headed. Once we had lunch my family decided to change at the restaurant as it had big clean bathrooms. I put on my whole outfit slipped into the shoes I haven't worn since last year and my God I felt like I was slipping into my mother's shoes as a little girl. I started to walk around and clip clop clip clop I went. I told DH and he said we could stop and buy me shoes, but at that time I didn't feel we had time. So, I stuffed some TP in the toes and did the best I could to stay in them.

Dunno, but I can see them now.

Hell yes. Fat can and usually will be deposited all over the body. As you lose weight, your feet can get smaller. I went down a half size after 50 or so lbs.

I was wondering that myself, I have wide feet and I swear my shoes feel looser. I'm hoping that I have lost enough so I'm not wide width any more. Defiantly will try some shoes next time I'm out

I notice that the width definitely changes. I think it is because your feet spread out more when they are holding up more weight. When I lost a bunch of weight, I noticed that my feet felt different (smaller) in shoes and boots I'd worn for years. When I gained weight again, some shoes I wore while thin were way too tight. Could be extra tissue or swelling, or simply that the width spreads out wider with more weight.

NOBODY believes me when I tell them that with my weight loss of 45lbs I lost 2 shoe sizes. They always say "it's the shoe" or "your shoes were too big".
I was an 39 before, now I am 37 (German size) I think it's 8 and 6 in the US

After 3 months of exercise (cardio) I started noticing my feet would go numb while i was working out! Didnt dawn on me till later..

My shoes were too loose!!

Got to buy a new pair of running shoes though. WIN WIN!

YoungDoc2B

Waaah! What's wrong with me? My feet got bigger! :sad:

Dunno, but I can see them now.

lol
I noticed that with less bodyfat, I retain less water. So they don't have the tendency to swell.

marekdds

yup, gone from a 81/2 to 71/2 or 7 in some styles. So sad, had to buy all new shoes, lol, wonderful nsv for me.

emd528

Yes! I was a women's 7.5-8, and now I'm usually a 7 (occasionally a 7.5). And that's only with losing 25 lbs...

jerbear1962

Yes I dropped from a size 12 to a 10.5...really didn't notice it till I was out for a walk and had to go down a hill and slid inside my shoe. Surprised the heck out of me.

EnchantedEvening

Definitely. I've lost some fat around my ankles, and I don't have the swelling in my ankles and feet anymore. An 8.5WW used to be tight on me. Now I can wear an 8W, and I can wear my ankle boots that zip up. Last spring, I couldn't even get them halfway up my foot.

lovinmyselfagain

I went up a shoe size when I gained all this weight and now I'm down about half a size since my journey began. I hope I get back to a size 8, because I have some cute shoes begging to be worn again .
