Has your weight loss affected your shoe size?

Since I have put on so much weight I've noticed that I've gone from a size 9.5 shoe to a size 11 in about 4 years. I know it's somewhat due to needing a wider shoe but it seems kind of extreme to me. Has anyone dropped shoe sizes with weight loss?

    wait whaaaa?:huh: I always thought that shoe size does not change (just the width of the foot). I sure hope I'll be able to wear all my shoes (shoe-holic here), I dont wanna drop (at least not in shoe size!!!):angry:

    Thanks for your replies. This gives me hope. Whenever I reach my goal I not only get to buy new clothes but maybe new shoes as well!

    Here I thought I was the only one. Now that I have lost almost 70 pounds my shoe size has dropped from either 7 to 7-1/2 to 6-1/2 to 7. Not sure why except there is less weight being carried by my feet!

    I haven't actually changed sizes but my shoes are fitting much looser, almost sloppily loose now!
