I have been a size 9, or 8 1/2 if they are a wide shoe, for 12 years. I learned to deal with it. Just recently, all of a sudden, my feet started to shrink! Last season, I bought a pair of indoor soccer shoes and they were a size 8. I wear my soccer shoes tight, so they tend to be a bit smaller than I normally wear. A couple of weeks ago, we went out to buy the kids new soccer shoes and I saw a pair of cute shoes that I liked. My husband has a bit of a shoe obsession so he had me try them on. The 9 fell off my foot. The 8 1/2 was way too big, so was the 8! I tried on the 7 1/2 and they fit, like a glove. I was shocked! So I bought them.
The other night at soccer practice (which was awesome, I was so excited to play) I wore my indoor shoes, the size 8's. Some of the girls got a bit rough, and since I like to play hard, I did too. I was shoving a girl into the wall land my foot slid a bit. My toes ended up being crunched up in my shoe because they slid forward so much(when I woke up the next morning I had a huge lump on my toe from the crunch!). I took a look at my foot in the shoe and noticed that my toes were nowhere near the end of the shoe. So it looks like I am going to need new indoor shoes. I'll make my husband take me shopping, he'll be thrilled!
My question is, is this normal? I haven't been pregnant in over 8 years and I thought that my feet had grown and become that size for good. Why the heck are they shrinking now? Is it due to getting older? Getting more exercise? Maybe because I have so many foot issues and my feet are just collapsing? I really don't get it. Please don't think that I am complaining! I get to buy ALL NEW SHOES!!!!! What girl wouldn't be happy. Oh, and husband's with shoe obsessions! The good news is that my awesome boots that were kind of expensive still fit really well. I guess I've got some shopping to do!
