DD's feet won't grow!

DD is 4 soon and we got her feet measured today.
They were measured in September as infant sized 5.5. Today one foot was between 5.5/6 and the other 5.5! They aren't growing!!
at aged 1 she was a 2.5. In over 2.5 years she has only gone up to a 5.5.
Is this unusual? DS has huge feet but not sure if thats a boy thing?

My dd has just turned eleven and has size twelve feet. She grew in to Clarks school shoes in I think year 2, but we couldn't get them small enough for the first two years.

She's very short but also just grows slowly. If you're concerned about her balance maybe get that checked and mention he foot size thing then. But I'd be surprised if there's anything to be concerned about.

My DD1 was the same ..tiny teeny feet. Very slow growing. Now she is an adult who is 5 ft 10 and only a size 4.5... ridiculous at her height. She also has very small slim hands and a ballet dancer's frame.

Kids just vary!

I always had very small feet indeed as a child. Small for my height and for my age. I remember being many whole sizes smaller than my friends. I am a size 3 now and I’m 44yo.

My dd has always had diddy feet. Now at age 6yrs she is only size 9 which is about 2 sizes smaller than the majority of her friends. I find it great as I only have to buy one pair of school shoes every year! Although, she becomes so comfortable in her shoes that when she does need new ones it’s a right pain as every pair feels uncomfortable!

My DDs' feet only ever grew by at most 1 size per year. Fully grown they stopped at size 3.5/4.

If you are anywhere near Southampton, French & Sons are good at fitting difficult feet.
