high heels

Hey all,

I wanted to know if anyone found it easier to wear heels after losing a significant amount of weight?  Also did your feet change sizes? if so how much?  I love shoes and I want to wear heels so bad but I have never been able to because they hurt so much.

I am hoping this will be a nsv!

Yes! I have a pair of black pumps with a medium chunky heel, and they were my go to shoes for formal/upscale occasions. They always used to hurt my feet terribly. I recently had occasion to wear them, though, and I was amazed at how much more comfortable they were after losing about 80 pounds. I don't know how much my feet have changed in size at this point, but the shoes were definitely looser and fit much better in addition to the heel height being comfortable too. I'm hoping to be able to wear a pair of serious high heels after I get to goal weight myself, and hoping my size 11 gunboats will go down at least one size.

Easier yes, but still hurts my legs and feet by the end of the day. I have some joint problems that weight loss won't take away :(

I did go down a size in shoes and had to replace all shoes and boots. From a 9 1/2-10W down to an 8 1/2 regular width. 

I am only 15 weeks out, but I've gone from a 9 (mostly for width) to a 7.5 wide or an 8 medium.  I have been able to wear heels to two formal occasions -- something I hadn't done in over 4 years.  My feet were pretty tired by the end of the night, however.

I had a job where I wore suits and heels everyday.  So I needed to find heels that did not hurt and were comfortable all day even when I was overweight.  Easy Spirit were my go to brand.  I can wear these all day and do a lot of walking or dancing in them without hurting.  Be very picky about fit.  Have your feet measured and make sure that the width and length are good.

Most heels, even wedges, can make your feet hurt after awhile.  Part of the secret is just learning to walk in them.  Practice at home. Start with a quality leather.  I have also had success with Rockport, Hush Puppies, and Naturalizer, but Easy Spirit has always been my favorite brand.

Love this question! I just limped out of the Easter vigil Mass last evening on my minimal heels. Really looking forward to this NSV as well.

My foot size has not changed.But the shoes that I had last year are somewhat too big.I hope to wear low heels at one point.Like pumps from the 80s

Just be careful and start wearing them around the house a bit to get used to them.  After losing 79 pounds, I put on a pair of expensive, red sandals in my house and just as I was going to take them off, I fell!  I tore 3 tendons in my rotator cuff!

Be careful at first!

The last time I lost 100 pounds I also lost a shoe size. I went from a 10 to a 9 and yes I was able to wear heels then but found it very difficult to drive with them on. Good luck.

I only wear heels since I lost weight.  My feet were a 7 or 7.5 when I was MO but are really a 6 or a 6.5 when I am really wearing shoes that fit properly.  I just buy most boots super big, like 7.5 or 8 and then pad with three pair of socks to make them the most comfortable on earth and balance out the fact I am 5'5 and have such tiny feet for my ass size.  I hate summer shoes because I have to wear the proper size and I don't like it.  Most of my summer shoes are chunky buckled types to make my feet look bigger.  Believe me it is the only part of my body I ever wished was bigger.

I bought these last year at DSW.
