Default Did your feet shrink?

Just wondering if the hooves shrunk after your surgery. I'm addicted to shoes . . .

Cool Yup

I've discovered that there's "vanity sizing" in shoes as well as clothes. My feet were a 12, now I can wear anything between a 9 and 10. My booty was a 28, but now I can wear anything between an 8 and 13... whatever

Cool Feet

My feet went from an 8 1/2 to either a 7 to 8. Depending on the shoe. I have long toes (my friend MariKay calls them foes....lol), so when it comes to some shoes I have to wear a bigger shoe.

I'm only two months out and some of my shoes are already too big to wear. That's a good thing though, because you'll need new shoes to match all new clothes! wahoo!
