Why some of us have shrinking/expanding feet and am coming up empty. The only thing I could find was about feet in regards to running shoes and it wasn't very helpful. Anybody have any clues about books, blogs etc, that may address these issues? I'm thinking it could help lots of us when selecting shoes to know more about this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-about-shoe-size#post-440637 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 23:20:12 +0000 Queen Mum 440637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm actually often just the opposite. I usually take the larger size in heels, and smaller in flats (especially sandals) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-about-shoe-size#post-440633 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 23:11:18 +0000 Inge 440633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear the same size in flats and heels, but the high arch explanation does make sense. Curious to hear more about this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-about-shoe-size#post-440463 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:48:48 +0000 christy 440463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny - Aida and I were just talking about this yesterday! If it helps, I have the same issue. And Elly's makes sense as to why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-about-shoe-size#post-440267 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 03:58:41 +0000 Elly 440267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep--- this is typical for me but I also have extremely high arches. Actually, I have some shoes that are 1.5 sizes smaller than my normal.</p> <p>In heels your arches don't act as springs to absorb shock and therefore don't have to have room to expand and contract like they do when walking in flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-question-about-shoe-size#post-440251 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 02:41:20 +0000 Refugee 440251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have found that heels fit my feet best if they are a half size smaller than the size I wear in flat shoes. For what it's worth I do have a very high arch, maybe that makes a difference? Does anyone else find this to be true for them or am I just a mutant? </p>
