Do Your Shoe Size or Feet Shrink When You Lose Weight?

When most people start losing weight, their main parts of focus are the waist, stomach, arms, and also thighs.

 

What they fail to take note of is that your feet can also shrink and go smaller as you lose weight also.

 

You may often discover that your old shoes don't fit anymore and you would need to get new smaller ones when you shed a certain amount of weight.

 

There are a lot of ways in which weight loss can also affect your feet size.

 

Why Did My Feet Get Smaller?

 

Many individuals often discover that their feet have gotten smaller when they lose weight.

 

I know this sounds weird to a lot of you but it's true and is scientifically proven.

 

Expert research shows that when you put on a certain amount of weight, the ligaments in your feet would stretch to contain the fat present.

 

When the weight is lost, the stretch reduces and this causes your feet size to reduce, thereby causing the change in shoe size.

 

Also, the case of flat feet is more prevalent among obese people as excess weight is a more key factor to the development of flat feet than ageing.

 

Also, there is a theory that the flatter your foot is, the wider it becomes and this makes your shoe size bigger than normal.

 

So, losing weight also comes with a reduction in feet size. Most times when there is a reduction in feet size, it is due to weight loss.
