Growing feet...
Permalink Closed

I really don't know where else to post this, but after trying on tons of shoes this past weekend, I came to the realization that my foot is now definitely a half size, even a full size bigger than this time last year.  I know feet supposedly grow with pregnancies, but I am 29 years old & have never been pregnant.  So why are my feet growing? 

It's annoying!  Not because I think my feet are too big now, but because I have so many pretty shoes that I'm not going to be able to wear anymore.  I don't even want to think how much money is invested in my shoe collection.


Sigh.  Such is the sad reality of getting old...

Forgive me for asking the obvious, but have you gained any weight recently? My shoe size went down a half size when I lost weight.

That's a good question.  My weight always seems to fluctuate ~5 lbs.  Right now I'm probably closer to the higher end of that due to bc pills.  
However, I've been on and off bc for 10 yrs. (7-yrs straight somewhere in there) and it's never affected my foot size.  The only explanation I could come up with is that it's a sign of aging :( 
Has this happened to anyone else?

This happened to me too.  Sometime between 29 and 31 (my current age) I went up a half size.  I didn't gain weight during that time, in fact I've lost weight.


I can still wear all my old shoes, but when I buy shoes I now half to buy a 1/2 size up.

I've heard that lots of running or hiking can make your foot wider, but I don't know about longer

I'm so gald you posted this.  I'm 29 as well and I swear my feet have grown.  I used to be a 7.5 or 8 and recently I'm more like an 8 or 8.5.  At first, I just assumed the shoes I was buying were running small but this past month I've been wearing some of my summer shoes that I haven't worn since last summer and they really seem too small.  I haven't gained weight either (in fact I think I've lost some).  I have no idea why this would happen!?

My feet have also grown - and are also wider, I think thats the main problem with shoe fit.  I can wear all my old shoes still, luckily - but wear about a size larger or even more sometimes.


I think its pretty normal.
