Title: OT - Can your feet shrink in size???
Post by: Bucky on January 10, 2009, 06:48:42 PM
Hey, I'm just wondering . . . can your feet shrink in size??  I have lost some weight the last few months (woohoo) and now my shoes seem to be too big!!  I know my feet "grew" when I was pregnant years ago, but can they also "shrink"?  Shoes that use to fit are too big now and I'm inbetween sizes . . grrrrrrr.  So, they are either a little bit tight or too big.  The half sizes I've seen are usually in a wide width, which I don't need.  What's a girl to do???

Yep they can.  When I lost weight I went from a double wide shoe to a wide shoe.  The length stayed the same.

Hi  :)

My daughter's feet shrunk more than I size. We still don't know why - because she was never overweight. They did it though!

Take care - Scottie  :)

I can so empathise with losing the car. Whenever I go to the supermarket, I try to park around he same area. I usually manage too - because I guess there are a lot of other people who have to do the same thing  ;D so we are normal after all.

My mother-in-law went down a shoe size when she lost weight, so I guess you are not alone.  Congrats.

Bucky-

I've never experienced my feet getting smaller, but my husband now wears shoes that are 2 sizes bigger than he wore when we got married 26 years ago.

Congrats on the weight loss!
