Can your feet get ... smaller??

PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 52 points –

Over the last 4 years i've barely worn shoes like 30 days in total. Today I noticed my previously best fitting shoes are like a size too big.

Ive also lost 40 kg from the point i bought these shoes. Have the shoes shape been ruined or have my feet shrunk??

How is it possible to wear shoes for 30 total days in 4 years? That seems like an incredibly low number.

Sandals, flip-flops, slippers.

I live in a culture where people don't wear shoes ever.

Yeah thats pretty much it. Tho i also like to play the couple of sports I do bare foot in the grass unless theres risk of cat poop

I know this is veering off the course of discussion a bit, but I think I'd prefer to stand in shit with my bare foot than with a shoe on, because it's much easier to clean off. Unless I haven't got anything to hand to clean it with and I've come to the field wearing shoes.

That makes sense. I was thinking no shoes = barefoot.

Working from home, I'd imagine. Since covid, I think I've only put on real pants maybe 8 times.

Could be shoes that only get worn on special occasions. I have a pair of ghillie brogues that I only wear a few times a year

Edit: wait, never mind, I see now that OP meant shoes in general, not a specific pair

Do you consider sandals "shoes" or just footwear?

The difference is that shoes that are fully enclosed need to fit you pretty well to be comfortable, while for something open like a sandal that's not nearly as important

I'm so confused as to how people say sandals aren't shoes. they're open-toed shoes. what is your definition of "shoe," people?
