    My feet got bigger as I got fatter; now I have lost weight they have got smaller again. I had found some really comfy heeled shoes for work so bought 6 pairs at $20 each (cheapies from Rivers) thinking htye would last me for ever until I retire; and of course now I am left with 6 pairs of shoes, most unworn, that don't fit.

    Am I unhappy? :noway: :laugh:

    When I got fat I started having to wear sz 10 shoes....now I'm back in 9.5. My feet are way more pretty when they aren't all bloated up. :)

    Mine shrank!

    I'd prefer to lose a pants size instead of a shoe size, but I have an excuse to get more shoes now :)

    Yes! Since I've lost 13 pounds so far my strappy sandals that were a little tight are now super loose :D

    Yep. My foot was a 12.5 in the measurement tool, and 70 pounds later, it is 11.5. Since there is less of you to support, they will get smaller.

    YES...I have always been an 8-8.5 (even in high school when I was much smaller than I am now), but I have recently lost 40 lbs. and am now in 7.5 for dress shoes.

    Weird!!!
