    Yeah. I had plenty of fat on the top of my feet. Hobbit feet, even. It wasn't that my feet necessarily got that much shorter, but they aren't 14" thick now. So, less thick-foot means that I can fit it down inside a smaller shoe.

    Yep. I not only can't wear my wedding band anymore, I need new shoes too! I can tighten up my work out shoes but not the regular ones.

    Yes i had the same thing happen to me as well. I was wearing a size 16 EE which is very wide, however after losing 100lbs i dropped to just a regular 16. since your body gains weight as a whole and stores fat your feet are included and they can retain fluid and based on how your body distributes fat or weight gain will determine the swell of your feet as well. i have also had to purchases new glasses because as my face and head began to shrink down i realized my glasses kept slipping down my nose lol great problems to have :smile:

    Yes. At 335 lbs I was wearing a size 11 1/2 wide shoe. Now at 200 lbs I wear a size 10. No wide, just 10.

    Yes, my size 3 shoes are loose now, extra socks required with my walking boots. Specs are slack and sitting further down my nose, it was ages before I realised why I was needed to push my specs up every few minutes :blushing:

    My feet size will vary a huge amount simply based on how much sodium I have eaten recently, I will go from barely being able to get my shoes on to having them loose almost to the point of falling off within a couple of days of eating right.

    Yep! I went from a 9.5 to a comfortable 9. It was one of the most unexpected parts of losing weight!

    Yes.
    My very first NSV was being able to fit into a pair of Dansko Clogs that I bought online and couldn't stuff my feet into until last summer.

    Yes! I went from a 9/9.5 to an 8/8.5. My goal shoe size is a solid 8. :P

    Wow! That must make shoe shopping a lot easier! :)

    Yup! I've gone from being between an 8 and 8.5 to a solid 8. I have a pair of dressy heels that I'd only worn once or twice in the past, and they were way too loose when I wore them for an event recently.

    Also, sometimes when you loose enough weight your arches are under less stress so you'll need different shoes because the ligaments are able to work properly and so your foot shape may change.

    Yes, happened to me... I went from shoes being slightly uncomforable to the point I bought a few a half size up to now my 8.5 fit well and I had to give away my 9's... I agree with Nicki_101.. it's hard to find 8.5 mediums US Size - on sale!

    Sometimes if 9's are really cheap, its worth it to sock stuff....lol (unless they are pumps then your messed)

    Definitely. I dropped a lot of water weight from my feet as I lost weight (less pressure on them and more activity). Now they're starting to lose fat weight.

    I've gone from a 9WW to an 8.5W. I wore an 8W in high school, when I weighed 160, so that's probably where I'll stop. I doubt my feet are going to get any shorter, and I can't change my bone structure.

    50 lbs meant I couldn't wear any of my beloved shoe collection. I went down a half to a whole size.
