Will our shoe size shrink?
Hi, I was just wondering if the surgery vets have found that their shoe size got smaller after they lost a good amount of weight? I wear a 10 M now , but before I had my children years ago, I wore a size 9.... I keep seeing cute shoes, but don't know if I should buy them now or wait until I lose the remaining 80 pounds? Thanks....

Yes I went down almost 2 sizes in mens size. Lucky I had saved some of my best old shoes so I could get into them again and they seem to be a little big now. So I would wait to buy more shoes.

I'd wait to buy new shows until you need them. I just went through this a couple of weeks ago, and ended up buying 9W because 9 1/2W was too big, but 9M was a tad too snug. I used to wear either 8 1/2 or 9 depending on the maker back in high school.
Sort of. From my banding experience I can say that, while my feet got smaller, I didn't shrink a shoe size. I had to get rid of all my old, stretched out shoes, but the new ones I bought were 11W just as they'd been before. I'm waiting to see what will happen when I cross the 200 lb mark, which I didn't do before.
I bet your feet will shrink since you used to wear a smaller size. I'd wait a bit before getting new shoes unless you are in dire straights right now as far as shoes go. And how exciting, right?!
