Is it unusual for an 8.5 year old to have size 5 feet?

I'm a bit concerned at the rate her feet are growing! Her twin sister is still a size 1.

I believe I was about a 5 when I was that age. My feet stopped growing when I was 10 - I've been a 6.5 ever since. ( I was pretty big at 10 compared to my classmates at 5'5" - again - havent grown any since)

My twin DD's are 9 and one is a size 5 and the other is a 4 - they are tall as well. It's perfectly normal - they all grow at different rates.

My DS1 age 7 is size 4, DS2 age 5 is size 12 and DD age 15 months is size 5 (small size, obviously!)

All tall too.
