I haven't crossed this bridge but I hear it is common withlosing large amounts of weight. No Problem! I'll buy shoes!

Yeah, when I lost lots of weight in the past my feet always shrunk too... Just buy cheap shoes for awhile. Maybe at Payless shoe store if they have one in your area. :)

My girlfriend told me today that my shoes were too big on me... I laughed because I never imagined my feet would shrink... But she is right, my heals are coming right out of them.... Can't wait to go back to NY and tell my husband I have to have new shoes... I can't wait to see the final size as I have had two surgeries on my left foot and its very important that I wear good shoes.... But I will take it.... Keep that weight coming off....

My feet are still huge and I still have to squeeze them in my old new balance sneakers when they swell . hehe

get some really thick socks or stuff the shoe with something and wear the crap out of those 45.00 babies :)

I have gone from a size 9-9 1/2 down to 8 1/2 -8's...I have just purchased a few pairs to wear to work and slippers that I don't trip over.

Everything is going to shrink. I went down a whole shoe size. I can't wear my wedding rings because my fingers shrunk as well. Is there a consignment shop that you can give your shoes to and possibly get some of your money back?
Shelley :o)

Yeah, I was wearing 7WW - had a hard time finding any shoes that actually fit. Now I wear a 6 regular. I made the mistake of buying a bunch of shoes when I was wearing 6 1/2.
