Does my DD have monster feet?

I've just bought school shoes/socks for DD age 4.5. She's a size 12 shoe. Socks seem to come in a 9 - 12 or 12 - 1 size, so I was going to get the bigger ones (she can grow into them ) - the age on these was for 7 year olds. She's always been big for her age, but is this bigger than average? How big are the feet of your 4/5 year old?

Guess she'll never blow over in the wind, eh?

My dd is a couple of months younger than yours, NP, and wears a size 11 shoe. She's in age 6 - 7 clothes though, so is big for her age.

NoPearls · 26/08/2005 17:12

I have mighty size 8s and am quite tall, so maybe she is just taking after me. Poor little thing!

I keep consoling myself with the fact that as dd is only 4, she has plenty of time for her feet to settle down and start to grow at a more sedate pace!

my dd is nearly 4 and half and she takes 10.5 shoes.

NoPearls · 28/08/2005 19:24

So, are they all just bigfoots or are they just generally big all over? DD was on the 99th centile for pretty much everything when life revolved round the little red book. Like WWB's DD she is in size 6-7/7-8 clothes for some things and she's about 116cm tall - so I think she is probably in proportion.

My DS is 4, 5 in April, and wears size 12.5every time we go for new shoes he needs at least one size bigger, if not two. I think he is quite stocky and tall for his age and wears clothes for a 56 yr old. In a couple of weeks we have to get new ballet shoes and they'll probably be a size 1 (!) as they come up very small...

tortoiseshell · 29/08/2005 17:22

My 4 year old ds is coming up for size 9.

QueenEagle · 29/08/2005 17:26

ds3 is 2 and a size 9.

dd is 13 and a size 8
ds1 is 11 and a size 6
ds2 is 9 and a size 4

Big feet run in our family!!!
