I recently purchased a new set of men's gym shoes, still not out to the world, but I had to buy a size 9.5 instead of my usual 10.  I also went to the women's section, and tried on some shoes, managed to fit into a size 11 gym shoe but couldn't fit into the size 11 wedge( they were so cute) so I'm guessing that I need a size 11 Wide in women's now.  I place the size change on my feet to my weight loss, but I suppose it could be partially caused by HRT.

The weight loss is another 7Lbs in the last week.  I started my weight loss at 307Lbs or so, and hit a plateau of 273-275Lbs, today I am a smidge over 266Lbs. 

I voted no, but let me explain.

The length on my feet are the same, but the width has decreased about one size. This may be due to weight loss more than Estrogen.

Shoe sizes vary with the design of the shoe. My feet measure a size 14C on the women's shoe measuring device. When I shop, I can wear size 12 or 13 for sandals and for athletic shoes a size 14 is a tight fit. Shoe sizes vary with the manufacturer and their quality control procedures. Does your shoe maker have a consistent product or is there a variation within any given size?

Many of my sandals, shoes and boots I bought over a year ago, are now too large for my feet. It's bitter sweet of course. 
I end up giving some of my favorites away to friends with bigger feet.
But yay! I can fit a smaller size, which is always an advantage when shopping for women's shoes!

I think it is mostly due to muscle loss.

Your feet shrink?? Is that a real thing? I've been on hrt for 2 years and my feet got a little bit bigger. I wore a size 5 1/2 . Then after a year on hrt I started wearing a 6. I still can fit into a 5 1/2 but its tight and not comfortable like it was.

Size 6?!? Wow! (I hope you're not unhappy with that size)

It sounds like you were already small in stature to begin with. I'd guess you probably didn't have much muscle tissue to loose, and in fact probably gained some "female" type weight with your transition.

I'm 6'-1" and fit women's size 12-13 boots before HRT. I'm finding that I can fit 11s now and my 12s are too loose. But I also had more muscle on my body that made my frame larger.
Just for reference, I also started with a 36-38 inch bra size. I am now down to 34, so my whole frame has shrunk.

This thread has me excited!  I have the hardest time finding shoes off the rack in Size 12 (US).  In male shoes I am a 10.  With the "rule of thumb" for shoe conversion, that puts me at a size 11.5 for women, which I've never seen.  Size 11 comes out too small and that leaves me looking for Size 12.  A reduction of even half a size could open up Size 11 and there are a lot more stores that sell Size 11.  That would be a game changer for me. 

I've been on HRT for 18 months, but at lower dosages.  I've just had my dosages increased and am hopeful that this is one of the things I might have to look forward to!

Mine hasn't changed. I'm still a size 11 (Australian)

I'm a women's US size 10 shoe and i remain that size. I feel very fortunate with that. It is possible i have lost a half size and definitely i have thinner feet. They look more "feminine" too, so there was definitely some thinning out.

I think my feet may have shrinked a bit but when I was younger, my mom used to buy me oversized shoes maybe hoping I would grow more. However, didn't happen and I remaimed petite. I thought I could only fit 8.5 in women shoes but I actually found out the other day I fit many shoes size 7.5 and 8. So I can't complain

Unless my bones shrink I don't understand how unless you are losing muscle on the feet which makes shoes fit better maybe?
I really hope it does happen as I take a UK size 10 and impossible to get girls trainers in my size

I haven't noticed a size change in my feet.  It just depends on what type of shoe I'm trying on.  One brand and type I wear a size 9 (US women) and another I wear a size 10. I just think it strange that I also wear the same size in men's shoes.

I was a size 8 in men's. Now usually a size 8 in women's too but sometimes, I even go down to 6.5-7.5.

I went from a woman's size 11 to 10 very quickly after starting HRT. Wasn't expecting it at all but super happy with it.

I'm a size 9 or 10 depending on the shoe. Always have worn 9s/10s for over 15 years. Both pre and post HRT. Not everyone experiences what you all are experiencing.

I did not vote as I have only been on HRT for 10 weeks. I was out shopping for pants with my wife tonight and I told her I wanted to measure my feet while at the store because my shoes felt huge. She has been buying my shoes online for years so she was as amazed as I was to see that I had dropped an entire shoe size (from 9.5 mens to 8.5 mens). I am really glad because that puts me at a 9.5 womens
