    your feet can shrink. They're not supporting the same amount of weight, so they're being "pushed down" (for lack of a more elegant way to put it) less.

    I lost 1/2 shoe size :)

    I've lost half a shoe size as well. It is normal when you lose a lot of weight.

    At 45lbs lost I am down 1/2 a size as well. That's ok with me considering I went up 1/2 - 1 shoe size with each of my 3 kids! I have huge feet for a 5'3" person! :)

    I am finding my shoes to big, also. I usually wear a wide width. Now, they fall off my feet. I have even walked right out of them. New shoes in my future. Ahhhhhhhhh :)

    I hope not,if my feet shrink,i'll be wearing kids shoes.I think your feet probably could get smaller,if u lose a lot of weight,makes perfect sense.

    My daughter lost about thirty pounds and has had to buy some new shoes too. She is a true shoe-aholic. Retail therapy for her is at Discount Shoe Warehouse. She bought four new pair today. She is down half a size. This weight loss business is not cheap.

    Interesting - I purchased 2 pair of shoes recently - one fit fine but the other pair feel like clown shoes! At least now I know I'm not (too) abnormal!

    When I lose weight my shoe size gets smaller. Lost 85 pounds years ago and my shoe size dropped an entire size.

    I lost an entire shoe size as well which is cool because now I can steal my daughters shoes!

    I would be happy with that lol..I have huge ankles and calves..or should I say kankles. I want a pair of boots so bad and cant seem to find any because I have that problem . It would not be so bad if my feet were a bit longer but I wear in between six and six and a half depending on the shoe . I also have wide feet. Unfortunantly the weight i have lost has not been from there.I have not lost one inche in that area..uuurrr

    My shoe size went down about a whole size to a half size depending on the shoe brand... weird but cool I guess since I have big feet lol

    I bought a cut pair of croc sandles that dug into my feet while walking the dog, so I always avoided them. Forty pounds lighter and they fit perfect!

    I didn't go down in shoe size, however, I went from a wide width to wearing a medium width shoe.

    I lost weight on the top of my feet... in some of my older shoes I need pads to bring the top of my foot into closer contact with the shoe's tongue.

    My feet also seem shorter... I used to wear size 13 shoes but that was because men's shoes don't come in size 12.5. Now I wear size 12.

    For running shoes, I still need size 13s.... not sure why.
