Yup. I lost about a half size. Amazingly, even throughout pregnancy, I've maintained that foot loss. Good thing...I have enough shoes.

Ooops, pressed enter on accident! Yes, I was shocked at the foot shrinking phenomenon as well!! I was a size 10 before I lost weight, now I can fit into a 91/2 and sometimes even a 9!!

No, I really wish they would though

Don't know about US sizes, but they're big and I have real trouble finding shoes that fit.

When I was in High School my feet were a size 10 (I was fat also, and not tall) but when I originally lost 115 pounds I went into a size 8!!! Now that I am heavy again, (working on loosing that!!!) I am a 8.5-9 depending on the style. When I am at my goal weight, I am a size 7.5-8

I have naturally wide feet (no - really! wide AND fat), but can wear some regular sizes now. Actually, before I started, there were loads of 8 or 8.5 wides that I couldn't wear. I hated to go shoe shopping because I always felt like one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters, rarely able to squeeze my foot into anything & tended to wear the same several pairs of shoes sized ww. That's no longer the case, and I stop by the shoe aisles almost every time I'm in any store, anywhere. Last night I bought two pairs of shoes at Targét, both regular, including a pair of with 2-inch heels (!) and find that I'm slipping back down from 8s toward 7.5s. I tell myself that it's okay to splurge on shoes b/c I'll be able to wear them for. ever. but I'm starting to wonder if that's the case.

What a fun question & fascinating answers.

Mine did. Well, I haven't actually tried on new shoes to see, but I've been a size 10 for a gazillion years until maybe the last year or so. Then it was up to an 11. Now my feet, they look like somebody else's feet, not mine. I have veins in them again and that is just so darn cool!!! I'm also able to wear some of my old size 10's, glad to see those old friends back again.
