Has anyone lost a shoe size on their journey?

I seem to have gone from squeezing my foot into a UK size 8 shoe (sometimes a 9!) to being very comfy in a size 7. Am I just odd or is this something that happens sometimes? Did I just have fat feet before?

    My shoe size increased both times that I was preganant. I don't know about decreasing with weight loss. That would be nice.

    It happens, extra weight makes your feet spread - I went up a shoe size when I was expecting my children, but went back to my original size once I'd got back to my usual shape. Nothing to worry about!

    Went down a little over a size! I can wear 8.5's now! I used to wear 10-11 depending on the brand. Normally 9's are perfect for me, and before I lost 121lbs, 9's were way to tiight. Lost fat on my foot too, perhaps! :o)

    Hello!! Yes I did !! I lost 30lbs and a closet full of clothes that used to fit. To my shock, many of my shoes didnt fit as well and I went from a size 8 to a 7 1/2.

    Also, I wanted to say that I was VERY uncomfortable in heels and NEVER wore them. Losing 30 lbs put me in 4" heels for HOURS with no issues. Another lovely suprised aside from losing 1/2 a size

    i have really wide feet too (or at least I thought I did. My fiance tells me I have hobbit feet minus the hair!) This is why I was so shocked when I bought a pair of size 7 trainers today. Do you have long feet as well as wide?

    Same here,I didn't believe it could happen but yeah I went from a size uk 8 to a 7.

    Odd thing is I remember when I changed up from a 7 to an 8, I convinced myself sizes had magiclly shrunk! Denial or what :-)

    I just resided to wearing trainers for most of my life as I always had big feet, even as a child and my mum used to have to buy me clarkes extra wide feet shoes.
    I've had a few pairs of heels over the years but always move back to my trainers. Now, however in a size 7 I might be more inclined to try heels again!

    I was a UK 10 at my highest weight, now a 9. I anticipate being back in UK 8s by the time I hit goal.

    If you're in the UK, try vivaladiva (or their 'older ladies' version, the shoetailor). They have lovely shoes in bigger sizes and wide fittings.

    Hehe @ hobbit feet! I think mine are pretty long for my height (5'5") -- I usually wear a size 10 or 11 US/Canada, or around 41-43 Euro, but I can sometimes get away with smaller if they are really wide with a boxy toe. I call them my "flipper feet" when I swim. :laugh: Problem is that most shoe stores here stock only size 9 or 10 at max. :cry:

    I'm afraid of what will happen when I get pregnant one day. :frown: I'll have to start wearing shoeboxes.
