Weight and Shoe Size

Obesity not only affects your waist line, it also affects your shoe size.

Even though I was only Obese for around 4 years of my life, the changes that my body went through seemed like an eternity. Not only did I have to shop for bigger clothes, but shoes too. I was totally miserable. Weight gain can play a huge part in your mental. It can lead to Depression and other mental disabilities.

My shoes became uncomfortable, so I had to by 1/2 to 1 full size bigger. So, I went from wearing 7 1/2 or 8 to 8 1/2.

What is the cause?

Increased weight on your body can cause your feet to lengthen and widen. The gain of weight places more pressure on your feet causing them to 'splay' or spread out and apart.
