DD is 3 years and 3 months and is a size 5 shoe. Never thought much of it but noticed a lot of the children in her pre school class have much larger feet.

Can having small feet affect walking, balance etc? She was very late to walk, she is very clumsy, she cannot run yet. She’s been seen by Paediatrician’s etc but they keep telling me it’s nothing and she will catch up 😬 I am considering paying to see a private physiotherapist to get some answers!

How tall is she?

JKCR2017 · 26/09/2018 20:26

About 93cm I believe. So not particularly tall?

This is probably not very helpful but my 2.8yr DS is 86cm and size 5 feet. Although he is 6cm shorter than her I don't think she sounds out of proportion. Children's feet size differ so I wouldn't worry about comparing too much. What size feet do you and your DH have?

I asked about her height as tall people tend to have bigger feet than shorter ones. I'd expect a shorter child to have smaller feet than her taller friends.

It's been a long time since I had a 3 year old but in my experience, shoe sizes increase isn't constant and comes in sudden jumps.

How do you and your h compare with the average adult? I suspect that there's a genetic tendency so if you were smaller than average then so will your dd.
