Foot Size Change

I noticed the shoes size change after a detox and my inflammation went down 12 pounds. I have lost a total of 43 pounds. My inflammation goes up and down and that seems to be the shoe size thing more than the actual weight. Half of this under a doctors care half on my own.
Getting healthy and staying healthy is the key.

My feet are very odd. I wore a size 9 until I got pregnant at age 25, then went up to a 10. Stayed there until I lost 50 pounds at age 32 - back down to a 9.5. Then gained weight but stayed the same. At age 40 I lost 60 pounds and started weighttraining and discovered barefoot shoes - shrunk to a 9 (maybe 8.5). Threw out all my shoes and bought all new ones. . then started running a 10 miles a week - feet right back up to a 10!

So weight loss and gain definitely makes my feet change. But apparently running flattened them out more somehow (I have incredibly flat feet to start with, so no clue on that) - because I went up a whole size without gaining any weight... just taking up running.

I learned my lesson this last time - no more throwing out expensive shoes. I am keeping the smaller ones until they shrink again, and if they ever do I will be keeping the larger ones too since I dont know how long it will last!

My feet changed size with every pregnancy. Before my first kid I wore a 7 or 7.5. By the time I had my second I wore an 8-8.5, but now I'm down to an 8. It sucks. I know if I get pregnant that I'm pretty much buying all new shoes for the 3rd time.

After my old weight loss, I went from an 11, to a 9.5. ;-;

Yes I lost 84 pounds andmy shoe size went down a half size. When you loose weight it does effect your feet

I weighed 230 in college and wore men size 15' every 40 pounds gained I went up a size 270= 16 310 =17 350=18
topped out at 390 yep 19's

red ones are 20's

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.

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.

Really??? I wear a D width, and I can hardly ever find D width shoes. When I buy shoes, it is almost always an investment, because wider shoes are more expensive. I am not a Payless customer.

yes, really. I guess it's size inflation? When they measure me with the foot-measuring thing, I am a B width. I am also the proud owner of multiple pairs of AA width shoes that are too wide for my measured-at-B feet. I can sometimes pad them out with heel grips under the vamp, that works OK. Cole Haan, I used to be able to buy 9.5AA without trying on, but they got wider a few years back. I have never met a dress shoe that fits in a B width. Shoes are getting wider.

Yes I went from 8.5 to 7 and even a 6.5.
