How tall is your 14 yr old DS? Also shoe size? Just curious.

It has just occurred to me the last few weeks with him being around all the time that DS1 who is 14 is the same height as me ; 6ft.
He now needs a men's 10 in shoes.

I am 6ft, his dad is 5'11".

I'm not worried about it at all, just curious to know other boy's stats this age.

My ds is 13, a size 10 in shoes, and just turned 6ft last week. He's on track to be 6'5

TheFallenMadonna · 13/08/2019 15:42

My ds was 6ft at 14, stopped growing aged 17 at 6'5". Size 11 feet, which I think is quite small.

I am 5'11" and DH is 6'.

Greensleeves · 13/08/2019 15:44

Mine is about 5'11" and his shoe size is 9

LadyOfTheFlowers · 13/08/2019 15:44

Oh wow, thanks for the replies Smile
So similar heights to me and his dad then, just reversed
I always envisaged him being about 6'3" so when I realised he was 6ft the other day and was 14 last month it just got me wondering Grin

Yes mine is tall too, with big feet - he's recently turned 15 but is 6' tall and shoe size is 11-12 depending on brand.

His dad is 6'3" but I'm only just 5'4"

Pipandmum · 13/08/2019 15:46

Both of us 5’11”, but both grandpas 6’2”. Son just turned 16 and is shade over 5’11” feet size 10. He’s gutted as he was always tallest in class! Hoping he’ll stretch to 6’.
My daughter is 14 and 5’6” hasn’t grown in a year.

Howmanysleepsnow · 13/08/2019 15:46

Wow, mine turns 14 next month and is only 5’6” and size 7! I thought he was tall!

Greensleeves · 13/08/2019 15:47

My 16yo is similar height but bigger feet :)

floribunda18 · 13/08/2019 15:48

Sounds ok, he will probably stop growing earlier than his friends anyway. They are usually supposed to end up somewhere between parents heights.

My DD is 5'4", and 8 stone at 14, size 6 clothes and size 7 shoes. On a trajectory to be 5'6", but she hardly seems to grow in comparison with her very tall younger sister, and most of her friends are like 5'8" already so she feels fairly small. She is lovely as she is though so it doesn't matter if she doesn't grow any more.

Amber2019 · 13/08/2019 15:48

5'11 and shoe size 10, seems to be the average height for his age

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 13/08/2019 15:50

5”7 and size 8.5. Where are all these tall boys?

feelingdizzy · 13/08/2019 15:57

My 15 year old is 6ft 4, he takes a size 9 it 10 shoe,being tall with small feet runs in the family I'm 5ft 10 and take a size 5.
Think he might still have a couple of inches so I think he'll be 6ft 6 or 7 .I do notice a lot of his friends are really tall.My ds is the tallest person I know,its strange because hes still quite childish ,so he is a a little boy in a huge mans body !

notso · 13/08/2019 15:57

DS has just turned 15, 6ft 3in and size 12 feet.
Still smaller than DH but feet are a size bigger.
I'm 5'3" and DH is 6'4"

Piffpaffpoff · 13/08/2019 15:58

My DS is 13 next week, is 5 8" and a size 10.5 in shoes. I'm 5 7" and his dad is 5 9", he's going to be at least 6 ft I think. He is literally head and shoulders above some of his classmates.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 13/08/2019 16:00

Don’t want to alarm you but DH was huge for his age as an early to mid teen ... but didn’t grow much after that! I on the other hand was tiny but just kept growing until I was 20 and ended up quite tall!

HeyThereSummerRain · 13/08/2019 16:08

Ds1 was
5'3" four months before his 14th birthday and
5' 7" at 14.5 and
5'8" at 15.

His feet were about 8 or 9 but now a size 10 at 16.

Dh is 6'3 and I am teeny 5'4!

Chickydoo · 13/08/2019 16:10

DS 14 is 5ft 9 with size 9 feet
I suspect he has someway to go yet

30to50FeralHogs · 13/08/2019 16:14

DS is 14.5 and is 5’10” with size 10 feet (and is on track to be well over 6’ I think).

DD is 12.5 and 5’4” already with size 7 feet.

They get their big feet from their dad but I don’t know how they’re both so tall! Dad is 5’9 and I’m 5’3.

namechangedforthis1980 · 13/08/2019 16:17

DS1 is 15 and 6ft 1 or 2 ( won't let me measure but is noticeably taller than my 6ft tall husband) and has size 12 feet. He's reached 6ft at 14. Both myself and my ex are 5ft 7!

He was always predicted to be 6ft 2 and I think he's pretty much finished growing now

30to50FeralHogs · 13/08/2019 16:18

Oh and DS2 is taller now at 14 than his brother is at 19, which pisses DS1 off a bit!

cricketmum84 · 13/08/2019 16:18

DS turns 15 next month. He's 5ft 3 and size 6 shoes!

He's always been very small for his age though. I'm 5ft 6 and His dad was about 5ft 9 so I don't think he's destined for great height!

namechangedforthis1980 · 13/08/2019 16:21

My 10 year old DS is 5ft 3 and has size 7.5 feet 😮. We see a specialist about something that can affect growth and if he continues growing at this pace he'll end up 6ft 5+. As it is, they believe he'll stop growing before he should so more likely to reach 6ft / 6ft 1.

Anotherusefulname · 13/08/2019 16:23

My 13 year old is 5"2. Shoe size 7.
I am 5"6 and DH is 5"9, so he is never going to be tall.

Aurea · 13/08/2019 16:48

DS age 14. 5'11" and size 9 feet. I'm 5"10. DH 6". His older brother is 6'4" and has stopped growing although my younger DS is likely to be a little shorter than this.
