Hey Barbie.
Mine went from 8 1/2 Regular to 9 Narrow. Supposedly, because I became a runner, my arch dropped and elongated my foot. Also, when I was a teen and young woman, I always wore a narrow so it may be that I was destined to be a narrow at a healthy weight.
But, yes you can definitely expect shrinkage from all over your body--even your foot.

I never had large feet but have gone from a 7W to a 6.5 sometimes regular sometimes still wide.

YES 
At my highest weight, I was wearing a 10W. This was mostly casual shoes - any dress shoes or shoes that are usually more narrow by nature, I couldn't wear. Not being able to find shoes to wear was one of the major instigators to me losing weight. Health, clothing, my sense of self all were as well - but shoes were one of the immediate, urgent reasons. You cannot go through life without shoes, and I was having a very hard time finding shoes I could wear.
I am THRILLED to say that 50 pounds down, I can comfortably slip my foot into most 9.5 casual shoes. Occasionally, if the make of the shoe is small, then it'll be a 10. But these are shoes I wouldn't have been able to wear before. And now I can.
I would be thrilled - and hope - that at my goal weight, I will be wearing size 8s. I'll be surprised if the jump is that great, but I remember wearing 8s when I was younger so it might be possible.

I hope so! At my lightest (14st / 196lbs) I was wearing a size 8 regular (UK). Right now I'm wearing a size 9-9.5 wide (UK). I'm hoping that by the time I reach my goal of 10st / 140lbs, I'll go down by at least another half size from where I was at my lightest (so, 7.5 reg).

It doesn't seem to take all that much - I went from a 9W to a 9 1/2 regular in the span of only 20#. I don't have the running/arch thing to fall back on ala TBG's post, but that explanation does make a lot of sense! I have noticed that with the weight loss, I'm a LOT finickier about how my clothes fit. Possibly my foot size didn't change, but I became a lot more aware of how my shoes fit too?

I've gone from a wide to a regular width. I don't expect my foot to change length at all but it would sure be a nice suprise if it did!

I've gone from a 10W and sometimes 11W to a 9 to 9.5 regular. It's kind of a drag, because the one thing I never skimped on is shoes, and I have some pretty neat shoes that are too big now.

I went from a 9WW, that's right DOUBLE wide to either a 9 regular or a 8 or 8 1/2 wide. So yes, they got smaller and way slimmer, but I wouldn't have minded even more of a loss in that area. Oh well.
Oh and even my earlobes lost weight. Really, everything shrunk. My hats became too large on me.

My feet are still wide, maybe just slightly less wide but I went from wearing an 11WW to wearing a 9/9.5 W.
