Fat Feet? Who Knew? A 13 EEE NSV

Caught an early sale on shoes today and instead of needing the 14EEE's I've worn for the past 5 years, I slipped comfortably into 13EEE's.  Okay, they're still boats, but I've moved from aircraft carrier to destroyer - and the selection was greater.  They will make my 3 mile daily walk a few steps quicker, I'm thinkin'.    Does everyone lose weight in their feet?  Or is it just that when I lost diabetes the swelling went down a full shoe size?   Puzzling, but pleasant.  And a good sale, too.

I also went down a whole shoe size!  I think it's because our feet were so fat and our weight just spread them all out.  Had to get rid of 13 pairs of shoes a couple of weeks ago and have several more pair that need to go, but just didn't have the heart yet!  YAY for NSVs!!!

As someone who can barely fit in some 11s, I sincerely hope my size decreases!

You are preaching to the choir SpiceyMom....I wear a women's 13-14 depending on the style.  Well, I did until recently.  I've moved down to a 12(ish).        I keep praying for 11's!!  :-)  Tired of any dress shoes I find in a 14 looking like a Transvestite Las Vegas Showgirls shoes....no offense to any TLVS that might be here!  LOL

johnbertak,

I don't know why your foot "length" would actually decrease...I would think that the ankle's/cankles? Would get smaller as fluid is lost..
I am in the same unfortunate "Gun-Boat" as you.
I wore size 13 in HS, and I now wear size 15 athletic shoes and 16 in dress shoes. I haven't been sleeved yet (12 more days!) but I never noticed my feet gaining weight like the rest of my body did.

I HOPE I drop a few foot sizes - buying 15/16 shoes is an expensive online nightmare...I don't have much hope for it though, i'm 6'3, had these feet before I was super-obese man, and could palm a basketball when i was 9...So I think your feet are genetic.

Cheers,
J

I dropped from an 8.5W to a normal 7, and in bowling shoes I need a 6.5.

I think I only need more length to accommodate my huge Fred Flintstone type feet.

Congrats on the new kicks ! ! !
