    Default shoe size

    Do your feet get smaller as you lose weight?

    Mine did! My foot went from a wide size 9 to a normal size 7 1/2 or 8!... Am a little sad about that, because I have way too many pairs of Ugg boots that are all huge on me now! Have had to replace my entire shoe wardrobe, which is fun, but expensive!

    I've noticed that it seems mine are. I wear a strap on ankle brace and I need to tighten it up more than I used to.

    Yes! I lost a full size. All my old shoes are like wearing little boats now. Not a bad problem to have though.

    Don't worry about hurting my feelings because I guarantee you not one bit of my self esteem is tied up in your acceptance.

    I had bought 3 pair if very nice shoes at the end of last summer clearance. Put them away until this season. I held off on buying clothes but did not give a second thought to shoes. Took them out of the closer all size 8's ,all to big . I was lucky since they were better regular priced shoes a friend bought them for what I paid for them . She got a great deal but I needed all new shoes. We away for the week and hit the Tanger Outlets.I bought 3 new pair size 7..
    I have been lucky as far as clothes . Had a friend who gained weight and we "exchanged "clothes so I had extra money to spend in shoes .

    It's. The only negative. I lost over a full size. My entire shoe collection had to be replaced. A few pairs I actually shed a tear over.

    I bought 4 new pair the other day and got a size smaller than what I use to wear, not a bad problem but like someone else said it gets expensive fast especially since we are all having to buy new clothes. Oh my whats a girl to do shop shop shop lol.

    Default Re: shoe size

    Hmm this is interesting to know. I wouldn't mind losing a shoe size. Maybe my weight gain explains why I was up to a size 9 in some brands where I usually am an 8.




    Highest pre-surgery weight= 306lbs
    Weight at last pre-op Dr visit= 304lbs
    Weight day after surgery= 310lbs
    Lowest adult weight= 199lbs
    5/17/14- Passed the 50lb mark

    I didn't think about my feet getting smaller...that is good to know. With 200+ shoes/boots (I don't think I have gotten rid of many) I am guessing I will have to replace many of my favorites. It will be nice to buy boots that aren't 'wide calf' - it does mean some of the pairs I currently don't wear may now be new options.

    I am actually terrified at this possibility. I am a shoe addict. I have over 200 pairs of shoes, and love so many of them. I figured it out and if I had to replace all of them, it would cost at least $20,000! Please, no.
