I think it depends on the person--if your feet are chubby, then they'll get smaller as you lose weight. That said, if you've started a running program I can't emphasize enough the importance of quality running shoes that have been fitted for you by a fit expert. Not only will they make your runs much more enjoyable, but they will help prevent injury.
I noticed my shoes getting looser more in my sandals and dress shoes--sneakers were much more forgiving. If you're already running, I'd go ahead and invest now--chances are, you're not going to lose so much in your feet that your shoes fly off, so you should be ok to wear them until it's time to replace them. At that point, you'll probably have lost enough weight that it would be a good idea to get re-fitted anyway.
