Foot shrinkage?

Yes!! This happened to me too. My size didn't change, but my gait changed drastically. I lost quite a few pairs of expensive ( think Clarks ) sandals, but of course...I replaced them with cuter, not so expensive pairs.

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

My feet vex me! I have always had very wide feet.  I'm an 8.5 wide now,  but before surgery I was in a 9.5w. They were always too long,  but we're the only thing I could wear for the width. I still struggle to find shoes.  I hate shoe shopping.

I was an 11 WW, I have gone down to an 11 W, but they are still hard to find.  I also hate shoe shopping. I can never find anything that I like. One of my friends said, after you've lost all the weight, we are going to find you some heels instead of loafers.  I had to explain how difficult that is.  People just don't get it if they don't wear wide shoes.

I'm actually a EEE width now with a very high instep,  so not all 8.5w will fit.  My family have what we call "Fred Flintstone Feet"

My feet didn't shrink till this past year. I can wear my boots still. I sometimes wear heavier socks. I had no problem looking for new shoes after surgery. I did wait though.

You perspective on hand bags and jewelry will change also. I used to carry huge bags and wear huge jewelry. To hide behind it. 

Now that I am smaller I don't feel that need.

I hear ya. I have bought a lot ( too many, haha ) of the smaller, cross body styles that never would have fit me properly even with the strap as long as it could go. I love that they're so easy to wear. I can't wear my biggest bags anymore...they're too heavy, and now they look ridiculous on me  , but I can't bring myself to sell them because a few of them were really hard to find, even pre-loved.

Me, too. I guess I thought all the jewelry was camo.

That is interesting about the bags.  So far most of my bags aren't big (well except my gym bag and totes to go to the beach etc) but it is exciting to think my adorable cross body purses will look less silly :D

I have pancake/Fred Flinstone feet.  They look just like my fathers feet, just smaller. I did go from a wide width to a normal, so there are some boots I can't wear properly even with thick socks & lacing up sneakers tightly. I can wear a 9.5 or 10 depending on the style/manufacturer.

I don't wear a wide anymore. I had to 86 some shoes I loved, but I found others. One bonus now is that it is easier to find shoes.
