idnib Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Just for fun! (I know there's no reliable correlation.) I was shocked when DD9 got new shoes today and they're women's size U.S. 7.5! She's only 4'6". But yep, they fit her! And DS, who is 13 and 5'6" needed a men's 10.5. I wonder if they'll grow tall or if I'll just have hobbits with big feet. My side of the family is quite short and DH's side is quite tall. Any others who had young kids with large feet? How tall did your kids end up being? Edited September 24, 2017 by idnib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 My ds has always had long feet. He's 18 and 6' 1" or 2". He's sort of in another growth spurt right now, so he's not done yet. His dad and I are both tall, though. I'm 6' and his dad is 4" taller than me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixpix5 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 My two oldest had huge feet from the beginning. One is 6'1" and wears a 13 mens now and the other 6" and wears a 12 mens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwalker Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My adult kids have smallish feet, dd is 5'6" with size 5.5-6 feet, ds is 5'11" with size 9s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndGenHomeschooler Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm wondering the same thing. My girls are all in women's sizes. DD13 wears a 9.5, DD11 wears a 10, DD10 (3days ago) wears an 8, and DS 7 is in a kid's 4 - and he says they're too small. My DH is 6'3" and wears a 12-13 but I'm only 5'2" and wear an 8. All of my family is short but still have pretty big feet. I guess my kids could go either way although at this point it's looking like they'll all be tall. The older two are taller than me and all of them are taller than any other kids their age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My kids have pretty big feet but aren't notably tall. My husband wears a size 13 and is 6'2" and I wear an 8.5-9 and am 5'2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My oldest had men's sized 15 shoes at age 15. He topped out at 6'9" with size 17 feet. He does not buy off the rack very often. :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbeanmama Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) My son used to have really big feet, and was off-the-chart tall for his age. Then he started heavy asthma meds that have slowed (almost stopped) his growth. But the kid's gotta breathe, ya know? I became concerned one fall when I pulled out his sneakers from storage and realized they weren't from the previous year...they were from the year before that, and they still fit him. His feet didn't grow at all from age 7 to age 10. He actually just went through a growth spurt, growing a whole inch, which is more than he's grown in the previous year and a half. So, my poor boy who used to be super tall is now about the same height as his sister who is three years younger. Her feet are the same size as his, which she thinks is hilarious.

Alicia64 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 One of my boys is 6'1 and always had giant feet. At 10 he was wearing a shoe size 10, at 11 an 11 shoe size and so on. Every year his age matched his shoe size. He's 14. (We have tall grandfathers.) Alley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-rap Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Most of my children have a height in relation to their foot size. So my tallest dd (5'9") has size 9.5 feet. My next tallest dd (5'7") has size 9 feet. Next tallest dd (5'5") has size 6 feet. Next tallest dd (5'4") has size 7.5 feet. (So the last two don't quite fall into line, but the one with the smallest feet is the most petite and weighs the least.) My ds is close to 6'4" with size 13 feet. All my children turned out to be about double their height when I measured them at age two. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriwether Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Dd14 is almost 5' 10" and wears a size 8.5 shoe.

Cinder Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We don't have big feet--now--but we seem to grow feet first and then our height catches up. Ds1 is 6'2" and wears 11; ds2 is 6'4" and also wears 11. Dd is only 12yo and at 5'5" is already in a 9. She's projected to be 5'8"-9". Dh and I suspect she might be at least as tall as me. I don't remember when my feet stopped growing but I (5'10") wore a 9 for years until after my first pregnancy; now I wear 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 DS is 6'6" and wears a 14. He had feet like a Saint Bernard puppy when he was little, but he eventually grew into them.

kewb Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I will admit I was happy when dd's feet got too big to wear my favorite boots. Not thrilled that she was wearing women's sizes when she was 11. Do you know how difficult it is to find age appropriate shoes in the women's section? And I still remember the sticker shock when ds outgrew the last boys size. That adult shoe was a hair larger and $30 more. Such a racket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My oldest ds has feet 13 inches long - here men's shoe size 13 not sure how the sizes are in USA. He grew to 6 foot 4 inches. He is my tallest child, though ds19 is only an inch shorter and may still grow. Ds13 is already 6 foot and growing rapidly. It will be interesting to see how tall he will get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 DS12 is 5’11†and wears size 11.5 DS11 is 5’3†and wears size 9.5 DH is 5’11†and wears size 10 I am 5’3†and wear women 6 or youth 4 boots. My kids shoe size didn’t change this year so maybe their feet aren’t going to get any bigger. We don’t have any relatives taller than my husband so DS12 would likely be the tallest if he continues to grow taller. DS11 grows in spurts so hard to tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linders Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 From the age of 8 to the age of 13, DS17 had a shoe size to match his age. Then his feet quit growing, and now he is 6 ft tall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelli Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Dd13 appears to have reached maximum height at 5'8". She might eek out a bit more height but probably not much.

PeterPan Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 You can have large feet and not be terribly tall. I wear a size 10, and I'm only 5'5 1/2". Obviously that 1/2 is important. :lol: My dd is 4" taller than I am, and she wears a smaller shoe but in a wide. She just has really large bones (my dad was very tall), and the top of her foot was always really high for kid shoes, even when her feet were smaller. So even when they were small, they were big, if that makes sense. I suggest you put their height and weight into online growth chart calculators if you want to see their trajectory. You can put in data from other years, if you have it, or just graph what you've got now. My dd's percentiles were pretty consistent, and where the growth chart calculators extrapolated out to for her is in fact where she ended up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZRom Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 My DS’s shoe size always matched his age until age 16. He’s a size 17 now and is 6’6”. He was born (2 weeks early) into a size 2 shoe so we were never really shocked by his shoe size. My DD just turned 12 and recently went from a size 10 to a 10.5 shoe. She’s just shy of 5’5”. Waiting to see if she’ll grow into her feet. Both of my kids were/are late bloomers when it comes to puberty. The boy had his growth plates checked and he is NEAR adult height. Hoping he doesn’t get much taller, it’s already uncomfortable for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Zombie post. But for the record, I was born with big feet, now a women's 11, and I topped out at 5'6". My mother, same shoe size, was a full 4 inches taller than I am until she started to shrink with age. I suspect I would've had another inch or two of height if I hadn't gotten my period at ten! But then, the younger kiddo, who's just my height and possibly has one more growth spurt in her, has shoes sized women's 8.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The last I remember, ds was a size 13 or 13.5. He’s about 6’2-3”. I’m not certain of my older dd’s shoe size, but it’s probably about 9.5-10, depending on the shoe. She’s about my height, 5’8. Her feet surpassed my 8.5 when she was barely in high school.
