Does HRT reduce your foot size?

[EmmaK]

I have fairly large feet, size 12-12 1/2 in men's. Which roughly comes out to a size 13 1/2-14 in women's.

I want to wear high heels after I transition, but I know that anything in women's above size 10 is a uncommon size. (im a footwear sales associate just fyi)

So my question is: Does HRT effect your feet like it does the rest of your body, making things more feminine and dainty?
Or do I just have to suck it up and shop around to find places that sell my sizes?

it wont shrink bone, but i think you can get you toes/feet shortened these days.

You can lose fat or muscle mass in your feet. I went from a 11 in women's sneakers to a 9.

You can but it runs anywhere between 1,500-2,500 per toe to reduce the size. I just don't have that kind of money.

So you saw a actual reduction in your size?
I dont have large or muscluar feet, they are pretty thin and long. But I know that HRT effects soft tissues, and alot of your foot is soft tissue.

I lost ~ 1 1/2 size on HRT (which was kinda unexpected and I am literally stepping out of several pairs of really nice and comfy unisex loafers ). But it is possible - not necessarily with You, but I can attest that it happens . Some people get C cup by just looking at hormones, others experience feet shrinkage .

That's good to know! Hopefully im one of the ones with a foot shrinkage xD

Indeed, I did and before anyone fires back some snarky response I am going to do a pre-emptive strike on that. YES, it actually happened. No matter what brand of women's sneakers I buy now. 11's are like clown shoes on me when that wasn't the case in 2006. So, yes, it is possible.

But as far as fat is concerned, I am a total cow (chewin' my cud at this moment) so I certainly had some fat to lose, and still do.

MOOOOOOOO!!!!

Big bewbs are kinda cool too (at least they say so), but... beggars can't be choosers .

That is one thing I will never expect. Even if I was a GG, I would have more than likely lost that lottery.

Oh im okay with either one, would give my girlfriend something to squeeze <3
But if I cant wear high heels with my dresses I will be totally crushed!

I never liked heels. They just seem like a back problem waiting to happen. My balance is bit off, anyway, so I doubt that I could walk in them properly.

Even if it takes me forever to learn to walk in them I still want to have the option to wear them. I cant see myself wearing them that often since I usually don't dress flashy, but if there is ever a time I want to wear a dress (and there totally will be), I want to wear "appropriate" shoes.

I can understand that. I just stick to plain tops (with a few exceptions), jeans and sneakers. Dressing up doesn't interest me. But I can see what you mean.

I'm the girl in my all girl relationship, so im alot more dainty and feminine than she is. (despite this awful body I currently have T_T)

She usually dresses up in casual or unisex clothes, sometimes she wears feminine stuff like sun dresses or blouses. But she has openly stated that shes leaving the "prancy" stuff mostly to me! I would gladly ablidge to dress more femininely!

I thought you were a squirrel

Well, the individual in the avatar is, yes, and that is whom it refers to.

I, on the other hand, am a fat cow. Now let me chew my cud in peace.

I kind of em in your situation. I am a size 12 in mens and I almost could fit into a size 11 in womens. If my foot lost some of its girth I would be able to get away with a size 11 womens.

I don't think my feet are smaller (I am still a womans size 10), but they are certainly looking more feminine. I think the fat being redistributed and the skin getting more translucent were the major responsibles for this effect...and probably any reduction you might get may come from here.

My feet were always a disphoric thing for me. I always thought they were terribly ugly, but now...I am loving them

My shoe size peaked at a size 9 in men's shoes.  I now wear women's size 8 1/2 (sometimes just an 8 ).  So that's equivalent to what?  A men's size 6 1/2 or 7 or something?  So shoe sizes can go down.  I don't know why.  But like you say, it is possible.

Come to think of it...are there any FTM whose feet grew and gained a few sizes and also grew in height being on testosterone?

loss of weight associated with transition can affect foot size too.
