What's your child's shoe size?

Tomorrow is my ds2's birthday, so I decided to buy him a pair of shoes. I measured his foot size, and he's size 11! Frankly, I am shocked. Last year he was only a size 9. I've always known that his feet looked like sausages, but size 11?

What's your child's shoe size?

DD1(16) is size 5
DD2(10) is size 4
DD3(8) is size 2

They are all on the shorter side height wise. ExH was 6' and had size 11/12 feet. I am fairly short (5' 3.5") with size 5 feet.

DD (3.5) has just gone up to a 10.

In comparison to her male cousins who are a few months older than her, she has huge feet they are still in size 7/8. She isn't much taller than them either.

Clearly takes after her mother as I always had huge feet as a kid but they stopped at an adult size 7.5 when I turned 13 and never grew again.

DD is 12 and is size 3. She's always had smaller feet and hands than average. She's about average height, though.

No one else wondering why people posting random shoe sizes of their children is in any way useful to someone with a child of unspecified age??

Maybe it's academic research into willingness to answer even random pointless questions?

cricketmum84 · 22/09/2018 22:43

My DS now 14 always had teeny tiny little feet! He was an adults size 2 when he started high school and jumped to a 5 by the end of the school year. I'm actually considering binding his feet now Cos the shoe outlay is starting to outstrip my salary.

DD (9) had much more steady (although still fast) growth and is now in a 3. Seriously her feet look like sideshow bob!! I'm a 6 so not huge and DH is an 8 so goodness o my knows where her clown feet came from Grin

LooksBetterWithAFilter · 22/09/2018 22:43

Dd is 14 and has been a size 6 for ages she’s not like me tall but with silly tiny feet.
Ds1 is 12 and a size 7 he is growing like a weed just now.
Teeny tiny ds2 is 8 and a size 12. He’s the opposite of his siblings and takes after his father who was short all through school then grew.

SimplyPut · 22/09/2018 22:46

DD7 is a 10/11 depending on the shoe Shock

Witchend · 22/09/2018 22:46

It varies so much. I went to secondary in a 13. Dd2 was a 13 when she started infants.

littlesquish · 22/09/2018 22:50

7.5 yo DS and he's a 13 Grin

spader1987 · 22/09/2018 22:52
