My 5, nearly 6 year old has size 1 feet!

[Fantatwist23]

We had him measured today for school
shoes and he’s a size 1, when I looked online it said that was typical for an 8 year old!
Is this foot size unusual on such a young child?! He’s one of the tallest in his class too so I guess that plays a part.

My tall, lanky non-identical girl twins, aged 6, are in size 1s now. Most of the other girls in their class are in size 9-10.
I'm 5'8", with size 7.5ish feet, so maybe they get their big flippers from me?!

My just turned 5 ds has jumped from a 10 to a 12 this year: his 3 Yr old sister is already an 8. I'm an adult 7 and my husband is a 12

Mine had massive feet. Even when he was born! He is 20 now, over 6 foot and size 11-5 feet

My 7 yo DS has size 5 and is close to needing to upsize to a 6. He's expected to be 5'11 but I'm 5'7" with size 10s so makes sense to me!

My 10 year old dd had size 8 feet, but then stopped growing thankfully! I am also an 8, dh a 10.

My 5 year old ds is a 12.5

My 9 year old dd is a size 4

Their 8 year old cousin is a size 11

Same here 🤷🏻‍♀️

My almost 11 year old daughter has size 1 feet 😂.
But she's the smallest in her school year by far and would look silly with bigger feet 🤷‍♀️.
But her brother had size 1 feet age five and he's very tall for his age .
There is definitely a huge range of normal for growing children

Mine too, size 1 shoes to go into year 1. Our cleaner said they are the same size as her shoes which my son thinks is really funny.

My daughter is the same age and same shoe size. My son was a 1.5 at that age. Some kids feet grow quicker than others. It's a none issue - besides maybe the cost of so many shoes for constant growing feet 🤣

My son is 8 and an adult size 4 and I'm a 5. Will be sharing shoes soon

My son is the same, he’s the tallest in his class too. He’s 7 years old and in size 3 now.

My 8 year old is in a size 1
My 4.5 year old is in a size 8/9

I'm only a 4.5 though and fit into girls rather than women's shoes fine.

My nearly 7 year old is a size 2 and short. My daughter who’s much older spent years being a 2/3 then shot to a 5 and hasn’t grown since. It really doesn’t mean much.

My daughter has just turned 7 and will likely be a 2 at her next measure. She is tall but not unusually so, her feet are noticeably bigger than her friends. I do feel for her as I can already see her choices reducing for cute shoes.

Ds has big feet, he was a one at around 6. He is currently a 10 at age 13. He goes through fits and starts. They seem not to grow for bit then grow really fast.
My dd is twenty and a size 3. There’s 7 years between them and ds was almost 8 when they got to the same shoe size.

If he's tall it makes sense, my 5yr old DD is very small and still in junior size 6 lol

My dc has just measured as size 1 for shoes. They will be 6 in a few weeks. I jokingly told them that they can't have size 1 feet while in reception class. Somehow he remained in 13 and a half until this week so a week before year 1.

Size 12.5 age 4 and a quarter. Adult size 8.5 at age 10.

Thanks for all your comments.
In terms of height, he’s around 4ft. And definitely one of the tallest in the class.

My poor DS has always had huge feet-the bane of his childhood.
Was given those big clown shoes as a joke and they fitted-no extra comedy room at the front. 😂

Now as an adult he is a UK15.

@ALPHAFEMALESINCEBIRTH I'm 🤯 at a newborn with size 8 feet.

OP sounds like your DS has large but not abnormally large feet. My DD is 4 (nearly 5) and has just had her first set of school shoes measured as a 12.

DS was the same. He's 16 next week, his feet topped out at 13 a couple of years ago.

That is quite big, he's probably going to be tall! My 9.5 year old has always been very tall and bow has bigger feet than me (5.5/6)!

Does his dad have big feet ?
My sons have the same size feet as their dad
so I wonder if it’s genetic. My DD’s shoe size is one less than mine (All of my kids are fully grown)
