Shoe size after weight loss

Has anyone's shoe size gotten smaller once you lost a significant amount of weight? Since my shoe size has gotten about 1 1/2 sizes bigger and wider as I gained weight over a period of 30 years I am hoping it will get smaller as I lose weight.
 
You will, before surgery someone in my support group said it happened to her and she was so happy, I really didn't believe it then it happened to me, I felt pretty dumb after my feet shrank and I didn't believe it. It wouldn't be so bad but my work boots cost about $400.00, so I hope I can get by with having them rebuilt for half the price, they usually come back a little tighter. :cool: Tom
 
I have quite a few pairs of shoes I haven't been able to wear because my feet swell up. Maybe I will be able to wear them again once I take some weight off. Same with clothes. 2 of my closets have clothes in them that are too small for me right now. It will be like Christmas morning once I can start using this stuff again :)
 
How funny, I have a bunch of clothes that I grew out of years ago that I kept around, mostly old t shirts and levi's, good thing they never go out of style. I now have about 4 large lawn and leaf bags of cloths that are to large for me, they are going to our second hand store soon. :cool: Tom
 
My feet shrunk both in width and length, in regards to clothes I took my pants in as they got lose, after my panicetomy in November I tossed all pants that had elastic waist bands, it is to easy to gain weight without noticing when elastic bands.
 
oh could we all live without elastic waist bands. I foun that becayuse of my apron I have to keep the elastic i my waistbande because It take the next size up to hold the apron..patti
 
oh no... i am looking forward to shopping for new clothes but i might have ot shop for new hoes too? yikes- i'll go broke!!!!hahaha.
 
living strong,
hi I've been stuck with a womens size 12 shoe since I was in 7th grade, talking about being a "bumber", now at age 55 still wearing a 12, and they are hard to find especially if you want something with a little style, a size 11 or 10 would be a dream come true,I quess only time will tell.

I will be the odd duck here. I have lost 70 lbs, shoe size pre-op was 81/2. My shoe size now is 9-91/2 depending on the shoe. I have no clue why this has happened, but my daughter is happy because we now wear the same size and she can wear my shoes, lol
