Shoe Size??

[Pam112]

I've lost 4 inches this week... but strangely enough, it's not enough to fit comfortably in the next size down in my clothing.

However, my shoes are now too big.

Uhm... anyone else ever have this strange thing happen to them?

I did! I was a size 10, then at my heaviest, most of my real shoes that were size 10 were way too small (things like flip-flops and slides still did fit.) Now, much of the time, a size 10 is too big, and my real size is probably 9.5, I'm still not used to that!

I think it had to do with my feet swelling and my body retaining water when I was heavier.

now 7.5

i'm jealous!!!!!! hahaha. I wear a size 11 (12 in sneakers) - and at my heaviest (220) that's what i wore - and at my lowest when i lost 60 (160) that's what i wore.

no matter what i do - i will always have BIG FEET!
course, paris hilton wears an 11/12...

but anyways - that would be a no for me. and a LUCKY YOU! :P

Not for my feet, but I do always lose weight in my fingers and wrist first because my watch and rings get loose. Nice eh? How come it isn't the butt first?!

I just had that happen to me. I had to get a new pair of sneakers for work. My old ones were a size 10 wide. My new ones are a 9 wide. I'm not even sure if I needed the wide, but I do like my shoes to be roomy. Doesn't it feel great. Oh, and just wait until you are able to fit into clothes you haven't been able to wear in years. It is a great feeling and really helps to keep you motivated.

Glad I'm not the only one to have this happen. Was doubt'n my sanity there for a while.

And ShannonK, I'm with you... why not the butt first? lol

I went from a 6½ shoe to a technical 4½, but I can get away with a lot of 5's. Sadly (for me), this adult size is very seldom carried in shoe stores because, as I was told by a DSW owner yesterday: "Feet have grown! Fifth grade females come in here looking for size 9's. Even though 5's are an adult size, they just don't sell."

It's true - 8's, 9's, & 10's are about 80% of what I see when I shoe shop - high-end, low-end, & everywhere in between. Please, be happy your foot size isn't obsolete! lol
