Shrinking Feet !!!

LegacyUser · 14-05-2009 01:12PM #1

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!!!
