Weight loss in feet?

Silly question - can your feet actually get less wide with weight loss? Back when I started running (around 50 lbs ago) I was in a wide running shoe. In recent months I've noticed my shoes felt less tight, and actually a little bit big (to the point that I was getting blisters from excess movement. Just got a new pair of kicks on friday, and was able to comfortably fit into a normal width shoe.

It sure seems like a 25% weight loss has affected my foot width, I was just surprised to see that. Anyone else ever notice this?

    Yes, I have had the same experience with weightloss. I went from a wide width to a normal width in my shoes. Size still remained the same though.

    Yes, same here. My shoes have gotten loose. I will need a smaller pair soon.

    I lost a whole shoe size when I lost the majority of my weight.

    Ok thanks everyone - I never thought feet could be a "problem area", weight wise.
