    Is this the male equivalent of the fat watery feet I get in summer? Can’t wear some of my shoes when we’ve got a heatwave outside because they don’t fit anymore.

      Have you checked your blood pressure lately? Salt intake? Hydrating okay? Hormones? Allergies?

      Could be an early warning sign of something more serious.

      A little swelling and water retention especially on hot days is normal. But, if your shoes stop fitting due to a little water retention, they probably didn’t fit very well to begin with. It’s easier than you’d think to get used to shoes that are too small. Your feet adapt, but suffer.

        I’m 35 and have this issue for > 10 years now. I appreciate your worries, and yes, there’s a lot of stuff not okay but this problem is pretty common at least among those women I talked to about it.
