Vanity sizing. I was a 6/7 in school and now I'm a 5 and can even sometimes fit a 4 if they're wide-fit. I have some old size 7 canvas shoes from Topshop and they fit like 5's do nowadays.
There's your answer then. Your feet wouldn't actually get smaller as in shrink and go down sizes but if you've lost a lot of weight then that's most likely why. Well done on actually losing the weight by the way

But would I shrink down that many sizes? And thanks

It's possible. If you did have a lot more weight back then and a lot of it was on your ankles/feet then maybe. Shoes are just the same as clothes, and people go down sizes in clothes. It's more unusual to lose shoe sizes but I guess it can happen!
My point about the actual shoe size numbers still stands too. A lot of places vary in shoe sizes even though the numbers are the same. I had a nightmare getting shoes to fit when I was in school. One shop would have a size 6 that fit me and then another would have a 6 six that either felt 2 sizes too big or too small.
Weight loss sometimes does this! Did you go on a fad diet or sth? I was on an intensive diet recently so if I run with my shorts, which is like a size 12 there will be naked issues !
It's so annoying they keep threatening to fall off & I only have the one clean pair for basketball at uni !

I just fell ill and lost weight, then continued joined a slimming group to carry on losing weight. I'm not there yet though, have a bit more to lose. Really surprised that shoe sixes can change that much, what am I going to do with all my old lovely shoes.

Stuff tissue in them to make them fit...I did that with a pair of ballerinas from Faith before they went out of business !
