Default Shoe size after weight loss?

I know it's possible for your shoe size number to be smaller after losing weight, but what about the width? I'm a 10 Wide; will my big fit ever be able to be a medium or what it's called?

This may not be a very helpful answer as I don't understand shoe width fittings (and don't know what my width is!), but my shoe size went down (1 to 1 1/2 sizes smaller!), and I'm pretty sure that most of this was actually width. I'm pretty sure that when I was heavier, I had to buy larger sizes of shoes just to get the width to fit me.

I still have wide feet, but having lost a lot of weight, the width is definitely less, which I guess makes sense as there is less "spreadage"!

I went from a 8 wide to a six normal! Woohoo! I have also discovered that my poor feet have bunions. Something I will have to take care of later down the road, it's nice to know that my chubby feet were cushioning them for me during my overweight days.

I am down close to 60lbs and my shoe size has gone from a 12 to an 11. That's actually been the most surprising part of all this to me.

My feet went down a size after losing 50lbs (size 9w to size 8n) as well as getting narrower! I had bought some beautiful, expensive shoes at this amazing sale before I lost the weight and now they don't fit . Small price to pay overall though!!

I haven't noticed any difference in my shoe size. Wide feet actually run in my family, and I, apparently, have a high instep, so I have always been 8W. Even when I started gaining weight that never changed, and now that I am losing weight it still hasn't changed.

I have gone from an uncomfortable 8.5/9 WW to a 7W so far. Best part is fitting into my Uggs which were too snug on my calves to even get on before.

When I initially lost weight a few years ago my shoe size went from a 10.5-11 W to a solid 10 normal (occasionally 9.5). I was surprised because wide feet run in my family.

That's the one thing I can't wait to happen. I have Fred Flintstone's feet, and I want Barney's.

My feet were never big the largest was a 7W. I'm now a 6.5 (UK 4.5) I still need a wide fitting for comfort but can get in some normal fittings now.

I lost weight once before (and got down to 150). I am the same size now that I was when I was at 150 (size 9 1/2 - my Grandma has big feet and she is skinny, so I guess I got it from her).... My feet are not chubby or anything (even at my size), so I just don't gain weight in my feet, I guess. However, I find it interesting that some go down in sizes! Very neat!
