    Mine did when I lost weight. Not too much, but enough to notice a little extra wiggle room at the ends of my toes.

    It should - just like with your rings.

    Mine has. Was a 7 for a while and now I'm a 6 and sometimes have to wear two pairs of socks so they're not sliding off of me.

    Very strange place to lose weight. I wouldn't have even thought it was possible.

    When I lost 40 lbs, they went down 2 whole sizes. I also stopped drinking milk and eating red meat, so my doctor suggested that the lack of hormones might have contributed too.

    It depends, did you gain any weight due to pregnancy? A lot of time that can actually re-shape your feet into a bigger size. My feet grew a size when I was pregnant and after 70lbs they have yet to go back.

    The ladies I work with are laughing at me for this! I say the only places my weight loss is showing is in my fingers and my feet!

    Mine go up and down depending on weight. Last time I was at my goal weight (2 years ago) I was a 10.5 and right now I'm about a 12. Expecting it to go back down with weight loss too.

    My mom lost 180 pounds, and her feet are a full size smaller. I know this because now she steals my shoes. :)

    I was 5'7" with size 13 feet last summer.

    Now I'm 5'8" with size 11 feet. :-D

    I wish mine would because my feet are fairly big at 9-10 depending on the shoe! My feet never really got fat though. (I wish my belly got the same memo :laugh: )

    Man, I hope so. I have size 11 feet. Very hard to find cute shoes.

    My feet have gotten smaller. I used to have to buy wide width shoes only and now many medium width shoes fit.

    Strange! I did not know this was possible. Makes sense, though.

    My width has gone down, not sure about length though even though my last pair of running shoes was a 1/2 size smaller...might have just been the brand/style.
