    I can't wait for this! My feet are wide and fat and it really limits my choice of shoes, I'm going to resist buying many good shoes until I lose the majority of my weight though and find out my final size :) my feet have already lost the puffiness of carrying water weight which has made my shoes more comfortable but I have a pair of work shoes that I bought a few months ago and would love to wear soon

    Well, I think in european shoe sizes, because I'm, european. But I definetly lost also half a shoe size; more to think, it's more likely a 3/4 shoe size. Before I wore 39 on shoes and was a little lose, but know I definetly can wear 38. It depends of shoes (every type of shoe seems to fit me in a different size), but all over I fit in smaller shoes. And I had to trow most shoes that are not fixed on the foot (like heels and ballerina pumps) because they went off my feet while walking.

    I went from 44.5 at 273 to 42.5 at 208. I'm American but that sizing is better and it's what I go by to try on shoes :P (I was like an 11.5 and now I'm a 10.5/11). None of my flats really fit anymore but I'm going to wear them out and buy a couple pair that fit and try to make due with that. My running shoes get replaced semi regularly so that's where I see the difference the most.

    Yep. I was a 10/11 depending on the brand. Now I'm solely in 10s, and even had to get a pair of 9.5s to wear to my brother's wedding.

    After 15 pounds I lost half a size! I went from a 8.5-9 to a 8-8.5 all my flats are feeling to big, heels and sneakers still feel fine.

    I'm glad y'all mentioned this. I thought I was losing my mind. My shoes were getting a slippy. I did buy a new pair of tennis shoes a half size smaller and kinda assumed sizes had changed. Like the shoe version of vanity sizes.

    When I was in high school, my shoe size was 10, but then during college, it went down to a 9 with weight loss. It was nice until I gained the weight back, and none of my shoes fit.

    Haha, me too! I was just saying like a week ago, "they're making shoes bigger!" xD

    I have an interview and I needed some shoes for my outfit. I tried on some shoes in my size and they fit but the back was sort of slipping, I tried on another pair same thing. I got the first one that felt best. I went to another store and found some really comfortable and pretty cheap shoes. I tried on my size again same thing. I thought are these shoes all a bit too long? I tried a half size down - the size I wore before having my kids. They were slightly tight but didn't slip and when I walked around in them they really felt good. Has this happened to anyone? I am not even at the weight I was before my kids.

    Me too. I'm down 91# and all my shoes flop off now.

    ETA: haven't bought new ones yet though to see how much smaller I got. My birthday is coming up soon so I think that's what I'll do!

    OMG, me too. After my wedding rings kept coming off my husband took me to Wal-Mart and got me some cheap ones to supplement until I get to goal when they will be resized.

    I've also heard that as you age your feel shrink. :)
    Is that it? In the last 15 years, I've lost over half a size in my feet regardless of what my weight was doing. I thought they were starting to vanity size shoes, too!
