When I was at my heaviest (well before I started HRT) my feet were a full size bigger than they are now, and I was nearly an inch taller. I don't think it was bone changes (or else I would imagine it would vary much more) but, perhaps connective tissue, muscle, etc. I measure myself alot and these were things I didn't expect, but as time goes on, I notice my feet don't continue to shrink so I am thinking it isn't all that variable.
