What size shoe is your Year 5 DC?

Mine (10 year old boy) seems to have very small feet. He's a 13.

Everyone else I speak to - which granted isn't that many as it's a weird question to ask - have children with much bigger feet.

Just wanted a quick straw poll.

My Yr 4 DS is size 3, but he is around 75th centile for height. Many boys in his class are at least a size or 2 smaller.

13 too same as your boy

Gosh that is tiny!

My DD in year 3, normal height and very slender…. 2.5

End of Y4, youngest in class, size 4.
He is quite tall though.

My yr 4 Dd aged 9 is in adult size 5 now, but I'm a size 8 and her dad size 11 so dainty feet were never likely for her. She's also ridiculously tall and towers over 3/4s of her class.

Porthia · 26/06/2023 12:42

y5 DD is only just in a 2.

RhosynBach · 26/06/2023 12:43

my ds is 10 and shoe size 5. He is 11 in august
my dd is 8 and size 1

is your ds average height? Both mine are about 75th percentile for height so prob why they have bigger feet. Ds is 5 foot

Sarahtm35 · 26/06/2023 12:44

My daughter in year 5 is a size 2 but she takes after her dad who is short with massive feet.
im sure he’ll do all his growing when he gets to a teen 😊

Smarshian · 26/06/2023 12:45

DS is size 6. DD (yr1) is a size 2. 13 does seem unusually small.

BamBamBambi · 26/06/2023 12:45

DS is 10 and a size 2

CMOTDibbler · 26/06/2023 12:47

DS was a 13 at the start of reception, by end of yr 6 I think he was an adult 6. He is 6'5 at 17 and a size 11 shoe so not massively big feet

Iizzyb · 26/06/2023 12:49

DS is 10 and a size 5 foot but also very tall for his age - his dad is tall, as was my dad, my brother and my uncle (dad's brother) are also tall with big feet - it would be more of a worry for me if he was petite

He towers over several of his friends tho x

Crunchymum · 26/06/2023 12:49

I'd say he is on the smaller side height wise, not the shortest in his class but definitely one of the smaller boys. It does seems to be a very tall class though!

My 8yo is a size 12 and 5yo 9.5.

My Y5 dd is a size 4 (dh and I both are tall with big feet though!). My 5 year old is in a size 11.

Lazyladydaisy · 26/06/2023 13:00

Yr 5 - nearly 10 size 4. He is one of the taller children though, even as one of the youngest.

Hill1991 · 26/06/2023 13:07

My 5yo is a size 13 but he's really tall for his age.

Sensibletrousers · 26/06/2023 13:08

DS is 10 and a size 3, and average height

Quartz2208 · 26/06/2023 13:10

DS is a 7 but he is the same height as me

DD was I think 13/1 at that age is now 3.5 at 14 and also same height as me

CeeJay81 · 26/06/2023 13:12

DD Y4 is a size 3. Just below average height I think.

Wanttoshavemyhairoff · 26/06/2023 13:20

Size 13 is very small ! My dd5 is a size 12!
Dd10 is a size 4. Both are extremely tall though .
On the bright side at least you won’t have to fork out on adult sizes for a while yet !

Crunchymum · 26/06/2023 13:24

I thought they were small.

He'e been measured recently as well (and has a brand new pair of size 13 trainers he says are the comfiest things ever) so I am sure he's wearing the right size. He isn't all that long out of a 12 to be honest.

My just turned 7 yr olds are size 1 1/2.

Kimchi · 26/06/2023 13:29

My DS 11 is in 5.5. He’s slightly taller than average. Other DS 8 is in 3.5.

DiscoDragon · 26/06/2023 13:31

My 9yr old (end of yr4) is a size 1, depending on which shop we take him too anyway, sizes seem to be different in different shops!

Ilovewillow · 26/06/2023 13:32

My son is yr 5 (9, 10 in August) and tall and hes in an adult 6 going into a 7. For comparison my nearly 15 yr old daughter who is short like me is only an adult 5.
