Went to see the podiatrist today (privately because nothing offered on NHS in this territory). She was lovely and made me laugh because she is very concerned that I do not have sufficient fat on the underside of my feet. I told her that I don't know how you put weight on the soles of your feet. She responded by giving me some foot pads to wear. Good thing that she said was that neuropathy is not 70% certain (as my doctor had told me), but can be prevented by careful blood sugar control. Other than being too thin my feet are in good condition 😉
 
How can feet be skinny?
 
Good to hear your feet are in good order - even if they are a bit on the lean side! 🙂 I have quite skinny feet also, very narrow with high arches, had to go to Clarks for my shoes when little for a 'C' fitting, if anyone remembers those! 🙂
 
I've got floppy feet. My podiatrist laughs hilariously every time he treats me.😱
 
glad feet are in good condition, our feet take a lot of punding so good feet are essential.
 
My feet lost lots of weight when I lost weight. Shoes which originally fitted me are now way too loose!

Andy 🙂

would explain why the shoes I have on are feeling extra roomy, I have been loosing weight....
 
I agree, stupidly your feet are one of the places you lose weight from first, along with your face and your boobs themselves as opposed to your chest - even if it was your belly you wanted to lose it from.
