I chalk it all up to bad posture.
I've had patients "gain" up to 2 inches when I corrected their posture.

I have achieved both of these things: shorter in height and wider in foot. Grace in every movement, charm in every pose. OK, maybe not that part.

Well, I've lost 1/2 an inch, I've always said I was 5'6" . When I went in for my bone density test, I measured 5' 5.5".
Unlike yellow, my feet seem to be smaller too - my new Teva's are size 6 1/2, my old ones are size 7.

Just a thought
Our bones compact as the day goes on, so your height is shorter by the end of the day... dunno if it is an inch different though...
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Don't worry about it yellow - I'm 5'3" (not letting SK measure me any time soon
) and (would) wear a 41 in Sidis (if I could spare that much cash 
). Do wish I could have the normal person height to go with the normal person sized feet...

Unfortunately, my measurement was taken at 9 am! So, I may be even shorter at night!

And now I have Randy Newman singing in my head in addition to having to shop for wider shoes.

I tried Chacos - the inside soles hurt my feet. Croc's hurt too. Tevas are lovely for me. Originally Posted by KnottedYet
