Shrinking Feet !!!

LegacyUser

Not sure if this is the correct forum (feel free to move if it's the wrong place!) I'm not looking for medical advice but have anyone's feet ever shrunk? I'm a size three and over the past few months I have noticed that my feet have shrunk. I thought maybe it was shoes stretching but I was shoe shopping today and a 3 is now too big for me. I'd say I'm probably a 2 and a half now, there's a good half inch at the heel and the shoes literally fall off me!! I haven't lost a drastic amount of weight or anything so I can't really think of a reason but it's really upsetting me now because not only do none of my own shoes fit but I cannot get shoes to fit anywhere! Anyone ever had this? Or know where to get a 2 and a half

I cannot believe this but it happened to myself plus another friend
I didnt even think this was possible. I have been a size 6 my whole life, could pick up a pair anywhere and they would fit. But over the last 2 years my feet have shrank 2 sizes to nearly a four - madness.

Have you lost alot of weight recently?
Or puppy fat?

I honestly don't know the explanation but I too am in a similar boat. I used to be a 5 - 5 &1/2 in certain shoes. I'm now a 4, most 4s are just right, *some* are a little tight, but a 5 is tooo big. It's odd, it's only in the past few years (I'm 25).

Clarks used to do half sizes I believe

I was a size 4 in school and a size 3 by the time I finished shool. I'm now in my twenties and it's only recently they're shrunk again! Don't think I have lost weight, am a size 6-8, have taken up running lately but this is ridiculous! Am pretty upset as I have a serious shoe collection but getting worried now - - where do you get size 2 and a half shoes ??! It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen! Glad it's not only me though!

Why dont you get an appointment with a pediatrist (did I say that right? My mom roared laughing at me one time for calling it a pediatrician...)

My mother was laughing when I handed her a pair of gucci shoes
As they didnt fit me anymore *sniff*
I had kept them in good condition for 7 years and could still smell the new leather off them.

I've been a size 5 all my adult life but in the past few years I'm nearly always wearing a 4 or even trying a 3.

I've suspected that they may be doing the same thing that they've done with dress sizes - what used to be a 10 is now an 8, to make women feel better about their sizes.

I've had friends - shoe size 7 or 8 who hate their big feet are embarassed in shoe shops because they hate asking assistants for big sizes.

Could it be a conspiracy to make us all believe we are more petite than we really are?

i feel your pain teeny!!i used to be a size 4 pretty much,some 3's fit me but most were tight but over the last few years ive become a 3!and now some 3's are too loose! also alot of shoe shops look at me like im mad when i ask for shoes in a size 3,as in 'why would we have such a thing!!' a friend of my sister is a very small 3 and often a 2 and she orders off the internet,she doesn't pay crazy prices either. not sure what kind of shoes you're looking for but this site does size 2 and the shoes are dirt cheap!!!

No, it's podiatrist.
