Have I been wearing my shoes at the wrong size?
I went to Allen Edmond over the weekend and he measured me at an 11.5 E
I usually wear shoes at 13, though that is often to account for width, I'm sure I could wear a 12 wide. I tried on the 11.5 D, and they were incredibly tight, then the 11.5 E and it was better in ball of my foot, but still constricting, then when I asked about a 12 wide, he said I measured your foot, it says your an 11.5. Am I wrong? Was he wrong? Do Allen Edmonds measure shoes differently? For context, the 13's apply to both sneakers and dress shoes, I have even tried on narrower brands like Vans and Converse and found that they aren't wide enough even in a 13.

I lost 40 pounds and now nothing in my closet fits
So I am looking to rebuild my wardrobe basically from scratch. I have T shirts, a pair of work pants, but outside of that, everything else from my suits and dress clothes, to most of my athletic shorts don't fit anymore.
My biggest immediate concern is getting remeasured for a suit, and some dress shirts as I have 3 weddings and hopefully some job interviews in my future. So I am looking for advice on brands, as well as general advice.
