    Default Amazing Shrinking Feet!

    Thanks to everyone replied to my last post about shoes. I got new ones today and they are a size 7.

    And they fit.

    In high school, I wore a 9.

    Recently, I started wearing an 8, or an 8 1/2.

    These are a 7! I know stripper shoes are a little weird in sizing (or I'm assuming so) but come on! Two sizes lower since H.S.?

    Maybe it's correlated to my weight loss. I mean, I haven't lost anything recently, but I think I heard something that feet spread when there is more weight to carry. I never weighed myself in H.S. but I was heavier.

    Still. Weird.

    I almost posted the exact thing happening to me yesterday! I was a 9 in high school and when I started dancing, I became an 8 (even in regular shoes) and yesterday I went and bought new stripper shoes in a size 8 in a brand that I always wear a size 8 in and they are slightly too big.

    I never actually posted it...just thought about it but never got around to it. I hate my feet getting smaller because I like never throw away shoes and will wear them for years and I still have shoes that I bought in high school that I barely wore and still love and now I will look like a dumbass wearing them.

    Me too! I wonder if vanity sizing is occurring with shoes too...

    I'm 5'10'' and used to be a 9.5, then it went down to a 9, and now it's down to an 8 and theres still "room to grow". It seems weird to me that I could be SO tall and probably could get away with a 7.5.....!

    I''ve been contemplating this shrinking feet phenomenon for awhile now. I went from an 8.5 to a 7 since I started dancing.

    I now know it's not different shoe sizings (or vanity sizing, like clothes).
    I guess the bones in your toes and fingers grow and regrow pretty fast, according to how you use them. (Best example, think of a ballerina's foot)
    Most marathon runner's feet grow a full size over the years of running.
    I even know a pro bartender whose fingers are shaped differently after years of pouring drinks.
    Me personally, the shape of my foot is totally different now...I can tell. Especially my super retarded pinky toe I never thought they would be "shrinking" though!
    So I would only assume, that having your foot arched in a stipper shoe for the majority of the week, with a great deal of pressure on the front, would account for this.

    I think so, in the last year or so I've tried on 5 or 6 size 5's that were about a full inch too big. The sells lady at Nordies told me that "most normal women" have larger feet and they don't want to feel like they wear a large size, so some designers are adjusting their sizing (since when did a 7 or 8 become larger?). When sales people look down their snotty noses at me like that I just wanna stomp their "normal sized" toes and kick them in the shins of their 'long fashionable" legs.

    I will never understand vanity sizing. I have no idea what size I wear anymore in anything and it doesn't make my huge ass seem any smaller if I put a 4 on it as opposed to an 8. Plus I've always hated my tiny feet, so why would women with longer, elegant looking feet wanna wear a size that says "short, baby feet."

    Sorry, I'm a little wound up. Just got done trying to shoe shop a couple days ago.
