So I was trying on some shoes I haven't worn in a while (my dad once told me that fat girls in pretty shoes look ridiculous, so when I got heavier I switched to runners) anyway, some don't fit like they used to! Could I have fat on my feet? Or did they flatten due to all the walking I do?
Good question! I use to wear a size 6 shoe. They were fine. Very comfy. I have tons of shoes, size 6, in my closet. Then I couldn't fit in them and wore a 61/2 for years, and now even those are uncomfortable...can't wear with socks now. My feet don't look fatter to me. I go barefoot a lot, or in slippers a lot, around the house. Can wearing slippers/moccasins all the time make my feet wider? Makes me so mad! I think a lot of shoes these days are made in China! I think they use crap materials and maybe they use teeny tiny Chinese feet to measure their shoes!
I think they do change. I recently lost a bit and find that the straps on my sandals don't bite into the top of my feet anymore. It was driving me nuts.
Oh god...so glad I'm not the only one with this issue...I had to bring TONS of shoes with me to Japan (like 7 pairs D: ) because I wear a US women's 11...which is hard enough to find in the US, nevermind Japan, land of tiny feet. Recently none of my shoes fit. Feet are so bony...I never realized that I had fat feet TT^TT

My feet got a lot narrower as I lost weight. I don't know the specific width change, but I can try on shoes and boots now that I never would have been able to get into before. As WeightLossSOM said, there's no reason feet should not store fat same as hands do. How much, of course, varies from person to person.
I'm a size 6 in most shoes but depending on style it's sometimes 6.5, that said, never bigger or smaller. When I was at my heaviest of 163lbs, my feet were very wide and I couldn't wear certain styles of shoe but when I lost 30lbs, suddenly my feet were a lot more slender.
Fat feet?!?
