    Default My feet are shrinking!!!

    At first I thought it was my imagination. Then I thought it was a fluke when I bought a pair of my usual dance shoes in my usual size and it was like wearing a full size bigger. When I started trying on other dancer shoes, I thought it was vanity sizing. But then I found a pair of sneakers in my closet that my mom gave me 2 years ago. Back then, they were so small I couldn't even get my foot in them (and I tried hard back then! I tried all different kinds of socks- they were cute sneakers!) I tried them on again yesterday. They fit perfectly, I can even wiggle my toes.

    WTH IS GOING ON WITH MY FEET!?

    And does this have anything to do with the constant popping and crackling that's recently started in my feet/ankles?

    Anyone else had this happen? I've asked a few girls at work and they look at me like I'm crazy.

    I'm guessing maybe a little weight loss. Water loss could also be the culprit. Feet are usually bigger at night after you've been on them all day...did you try the stuff on in the morning?

    I havent' gone through that with my dance shoes but when I recently went and bought some running shoes I found that I had to get a 5 1/2 instead of a 6 like I usually wear. I'm now starting to think shoes are starting to be made bigger but I don't know.

    My feet shrank..... I was a size 8, I am now a size 6 (up from 5.5 at my smallest). I did lose a lot of weight before my feet became smaller.

    exersize can change your shoe size. For instance. New runners tend to have an increase in shoe size. The impact from running causes pressure on the arch. With each step your arch flexes. Impact exersizes such as running can cause your arch to be less archy resulting in your shoe size increasing a 1/2 to a full size. I imagine that if you used to be a runner and stopped the reverse effect could happen. Also, heels, constantly being on your toes may have that effect. My feet grew when i started running, now I am unable to run due to a med problem and my feet are about the same size, same as you I know this because of old shoes.

    My feet have definitely shrank. I used to be a size 8.5 and now I'm a 6.5 or 7. I think it comes from wearing high heels all the time!

    ^^^ See, that's what I was thinking as well. Is it possible dancing in heels can do this? I know my grandma has really messed up feet from wearing high heels all the time. Can it squish your bones together, like a corset squishes organs together over time?

    My feet have gone down a whole size since I started dancing. I'm actually happy they have, but, I'm guessing it's not the best thing in the world, lol.

    My feet have shrunk over my dancing career too by a half size. i think it is the high high heels because i don't think happens to 'normal' women!

    it's definitely the heels. when i was younger i did "pointe" ballet and the constant pressure shrank my feet. any time you redistribut the pressure to one end of feet, they'll shorten. BUT, the extra mass will just move your feet OUT...meaning, they'll get wider or eventually cause your foot bones to become warped...
    happened to my grandmother, she wore stilletos for years and ended up getting two surgeries on one foot and one surgery on the other.

    Looks to be two ways.... losing weight and walking around in heels for 8 hours a day.
