Has anyone else's shoe size gotten a little smaller after weight loss? I went shoe shopping recently and discovered that I need a half size smaller!

I hear ya..i went from a 7.5 to a 6 in 87 pounds..I'm thinking i might lose another half size before I'm done. Thank god for goodwill.3
-
yes went from very wide to regular width

Yup. From an 11 to a 10. Foot didn't shrink front to back, but apparently I was buying a bigger shoe to compensate for the width rather than buying wider 10s...1

I needed anything from a 10 to an 11 50lbs ago. I'm mainly buying 9's and 9 1/2's now. Totally normal.1

Not me!1
-
just by losing 20 pounds, I went from 10 to a 9.53
-
Nope, 85 lbs lost and feet are the same!1

I haven't bought any new yet but my feet are starting to slide around a bit in my shoe. I believe I need a smaller size.1

Yes, Goodwill has been a lifesaver for me with clothes on my journey. I was a very frequent shopper buying smaller clothes. I check their shoes but am picky about my good support shoes. Haven't found what I want yet.2 -
Yes, I dropped half a shoe size by losing weight. It probably happened after 60 lbs or so. My total loss ultimately was about 180 but I didn't keep dropping shoe sizes tho lol. Just the first one.1
-
Nope, 60 pounds down and still a 10. Apparently my feet didn't gain like everywhere else.1
-
I dropped half a shoe size myself.0

Losing the 30 lbs I had gained means I went from a regular B width back to my normal A/AA narrow width shoes.1
-
88 lbs down and my feet are still a 10.5 horrible size. But they are narrower. I went from a 10.5 B to 10.5 A/AA. This was no improvement. If anything it made finding shoes harder.1

Yeah, this is about my size and it's almost impossible to find shoes. I measure at a B but actual regular width shoes are almost without fail made more like D, so I have to buy the AA, which measures like a B. I feel like out of the good qualities a shoe can have:
Good Price
Good Fit
Good Quality
Good Style
I can get three of those, if lucky, but never all 4. Wide shoes may be difficult to find, but Narrow is nearly impossible.2 -

I am so with you! I am generally a 10.5, but at my heaviest was more of an 11. And I'd rather stay an 11 because 10.5 is the worst! Why, why did someone somewhere decide to skip 10.5 and go directly from 10 to 11 in women's shoe sizes?? It doesn't even make sense.2 -

yup1 -
Yes, my lovely sandals that were perfect last year and still in great condition were pulled out for Spring/Summer use a few days ago and are now too big, losing weight has been great but not cheap!1
-
Same here! Some of my shoes now fit like clown shoes.1

I'm a little jealous of everyone who went down in shoe size! I seem to be a freak of nature because after losing 136lbs I've had to go from a size 10 to an 11. I have no explanation for it, I was REALLY hoping my feet would get smaller. It's really hard to find cute shoes in size 11 too1
