Your feet are arguably the foundation of your whole body. They provide balance and enable you to walk, run, stand, and enjoy countless activities. Foot health is important, but foot size is not. All women’s foot sizes are normal. Heights and weights have increased in the United States over the past several decades. Feet have gotten larger, too. While there are no official statistics about shoe sizes, anecdotally, the average shoe size for women in the United States ranges between 8.5 and 9. Average shoe size by height There’s an established correlation between height and shoe size. Taller women tend to have larger feet since they need a larger base for balance. Shorter women tend to have smaller feet since they require a smaller base. Anecdotally, American women report that their shoe sizes vary widely, independent of their height. That may be due to natural variances in heredity and genetics, or simply buying shoes that are too big or too small for your feet. There’s no official data correlating U.S. women’s height with their shoe size. Anecdotal information indicates the following: Age Height Shoe size Over 20 4’9″ to 5’3″ 5 to 8.5 Over 20 5’4″ to 5’7″ 6.5 to 10 Over 20 5’8″ to 6′ or taller 9 to 15 Average shoe size by country Average shoe sizes range from country to country. They’re based on many factors, including genetics and nutrition. Some average shoe sizes in other countries include: Country Shoe size Conversion to U.S. size United Kingdom 6 (EU 39) 6.5 or 7 Japan 3.5 (EU 36.5) 5.5 Australia 8 (EU 39) 7.5 Average shoe size worldwide Anecdotal evidence supplied by shoe salespeople indicate the average shoe size for adult women worldwide is around a U.S. 7 to 8. Does size matter? There’s some data that men and women find small feet in women more attractive than large feet. However, these findings from 2007 are far from conclusively proven. In fact, some cultures go the other way , finding women with large feet more attractive than those with small feet. Whether you’re a size 5 or a size 15, all women’s feet are equally attractive, normal, and appropriate for their height and weight. Pregnancy and feet Among the things that may affect women’s shoe size is pregnancy. During pregnancy, some women report that their feet become wider or flatter. In some instances, this change may become permanent. The cause may be due to extra weight put on during pregnancy, or a hormone secretion in the placenta called relaxin. It dilates and softens the cervix as well as loosens the ligaments of the foot.

Does losing 20 pounds change your face?

When you lose weight, you inevitably lose some fat, including that which naturally occurs in your face and neck. And when that happens, volume in your face and neck decreases, says Nina Desai, M.D., a dermatologist in Manhattan Beach, CA. That creates skin laxity (derm speak for sagging) and folds.

Most weight-loss milestones are celebrated. More energy! Lower blood pressure! Looser jeans! But there’s one we tend to get quiet—if not silent—about: changes to the skin. More pointedly, looser skin and wrinkles.

After all the effort that’s put into eating healthier, walking more, and prioritizing your wellness, it can be deflating to see this unexpected change in the mirror, as if you’ve pressed fast-forward on the aging process. You may even feel younger, so what’s up with those jowls—and why didn’t anyone give you a head’s up about this?

“Most patients are happy about the weight loss, but often feel discouraged when they see their skin changes,” says Marisa Garshick, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. Of course, you can (and should) feel all your feelings, whether that’s disappointment at newfound winkles or pride in the lines that now grace your face. But whichever side you land on, here’s one thing we can all agree on: It’s time to start talking about how weight loss affects our facial skin. Just like plateaus and non-scale victories, complexion changes are a real and natural part of the weight-loss experience. And normalizing (and celebrating!) this shift can only better prepare you for the journey. So let’s take a science-backed look at the causes and explore what you can do about them if (big if!) that’s the route you choose to go.
