shrinking feet

[Pippa]

I have been on HRT for just over six months.   My feet have shrunk from a European size 42 to a size 41.   Has anybody else seen a similar reduction?

You're probably not interested in foot size from the other side of the gender pond, but I really wonder if my feet have become a bit smaller since I started testosterone early this year.

I saw a great online deal on some ankle boots from my favorite manufacturer. I've worn a few generations of these boots and ordered my usual size. When I tried them on, they were tight, tight, tight. The boots languished in the corner for months. Then I decided to start wearing them around the house for a few hours a day until they loosened up. I put them on, and they fit perfectly. My other shoes, which fit me to begin with, are now just a tad too roomy. I have to lace them up extra tight, and that's not quite enough.

I'm always reading about guys whose feet supposedly grew on T. I'm the first one I've heard of who may have experienced the opposite. Weird.

I'm not sure.  I still wear Euro 42, but my shoes seem to be a little looser now.  (Maybe my feet shrank for the cold weather. )

Shrinking feet seems to have to a lot of people, while others not. How much depends on the person, but either way it's usually not insane amounts. Ie, you're a size 13 and expect to turn into a size 9.

Some people also shrink in height. (Same thing, maybe an inch or two -- but you're not gonna go from 6'6" to 5'6")

As for me, both my feet size and height size went down.

Would make me very happy... I would kill to wear a size 9 .  I'm only a 10 as is, but I'd love to get out of the double digits .

I find that hard to believe. My feet are on the small size anyway so it's not a worry if they shrink or not.

Have you lost weight elsewhere? That could explain it.
My shoe size fluctuates, especially between different manufacturers.

It really peased me off, when a "know it all" botch told me I didn't know
what I was talking about when I told her that my nipples were soar
after a week on estrogen. She swore that, that was impossible.

Over the summer I have lost two to two and a half stone.  However, I have never had big or fat feet.   My weight now is roughly what it was about ten years ago and my feet were a size 42 then.

[heatherrose]

Twenty eight to thirty five pounds, good for you girl.

[Pippa]

Yes. I am really pleased with my weight loss, although I probably have another stone to go (from 13.5 stone to 10 stone).  It is probably the best thing so far about my transition.  I am prepared to work hard to get the female figure I am after.

[heatherrose]

You can do it girl, six months prior to when the picture I am using for my
current avitar was taken, I was almost sixty pounds (4 stone) heavier.

I can fit size 9, but I usually get 10's 'cause they are more comfy, although they can be slippy 'cause they are a bit to big... but, ah, I like my comfort. LOL (but, yeah, it trashes my socks... boy socks are good for that, 'cause they are thicker than girl socks, usually, so they can make more of a snug fit and they also last longer. Lots of girl socks are thin for some reason, and easily trashed. Sports ones aren't as bad, however.)

Also, tons and tons and tons of women here seem to be size 9 or 10. My GF is a size 10, and the last 4 have been size 10 as well. o_0 I don't know, it's pretty common. I live with 2 other girls and they are both size 10's (great for stealing shoes! Muhahaha! Although, usually it's my shoes getting borrowed. >_< )  The size 10 is 10 in womens. In mens I think that's 8-9-ish.
