    Yes - my feet has gone all "skinny". Put on a pair of boots I have not worn since winter (it is summer here at the moment) - normally I wore them with thights - had to put on thick wooly socks as they were way too big....

    I also had to buy a smaller size jandals (flip-flops) for the beach as my old ones was just falling off my feet....

    although the pounds aren't off yet my feet have already shrunk. i went from a 9.5/10 to a comfy 8/8.5 Plus my feet are as wide as they used to be so it happens before you know it!

    Awesome! That gives me hope! lol Thanks for sharing! (:

    I was around 180 in HS (I'm only 5'2'' so quite large) and wore a size 9. At my thinnest healthy weight (110) I wore a 7, so yes, your feet will shrink. How much just depends on the person.

    I've gone from a men's size ten to a men's size 8, and from EEEE to EE or standard width, depending upon the shoe.

    It'll happen :-).

    O_O nothing besides the feet shrink... right?

    Per your concerns: I've heard the opposite...

    That's great! I would love to wear a size 7. My mom wears a size 7. I get jealous sometimes. haha. Congrats on your weight loss! That's wonderful! (:

    OOo that'll be fun! My feet went from a 5.5 -> 6 up to a 6.5 -> 7 between pregnancy and keeping all that weight around.

    Hope it doesn't go down TOO far... 5.5's are incredibly hard to find - especially in a "wide"!!

    When I was thinner I use to wear about a 7-7.5 and as I gained weight I went up to 8-8.5(depending on the shoes) and now that I've lost some weight I am back to 7.5 YAAAY lol :happy:

    Well I know for sure that when you gain weight so does your feet. At my smallest my shoe size was always a 7 1/2. As I begin to gain weight, i slowly creep up to a 8 and then to a 8 1/2. I refuse to be in the 9 category so I am for certain that when i am done losing the 80 i've gained, that my feet will go back to at least a 8(giggle)

    Goodness! I don't even think I could get my hand in a 5.5! LOL!

    Man! lol I have been a size 11 shoe since I was in the eighth grade, but I've also been the same dress size since then too, so that could be why. (:

    When I lost 80 in college I went from a 9 1/2 to an 8 1/2! Then I had a kid and am back to a 9, darn pregnancy and perma expanded feet. But it definitely can happen.
