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.

Dd started her periods age 10. She is 12 now and has grown 4 inches since then. Still growing now. Period thing simply isn't true.

My 14 year old is 6ft size 10.5 shoes.
I'm 5ft7 DH is 5ft10.
M&S for school trousers here too. Super skinny extra long ones. Look absolutely ridiculous with size 11 shoes, but what do I know Hmm

Congratulations on your large sons

cocomelon23 · 14/08/2019 20:23

I think my ds will be like this. He's 9 at the moment and wearing a size 5 shoe and very tall.

GrassAndDaisies · 14/08/2019 20:25

DS1 is nearly 10 and in size 6 shoes. Approx 5ft tall, I think. DS2, although younger, is on track to be much larger at the same age.

RingtheBells · 14/08/2019 20:26

DS was 6ft at 14 but ended up being 6ft 1in and still size10 shoes so didn’t grow too much after that, DN though was quite short at 14 and ended up the same size as DS as adults

Dorsetcamping · 14/08/2019 20:31

DS 5'6 at 14 + 2 months. Shoes size 6/7
Not concerned though as DH was similar size at that age and is now 6ft.

Yorkshiremum17 · 14/08/2019 20:32

Age 15, 6ft and size 9 feet

RoseDog · 14/08/2019 20:35

Ds was 14 in April and is 6ft with size 10 feet, his feet haven't grown in about year now so I'm hoping they've stopped!

He's been shaving since about 12 when his voice broke.

Dp is 5'11, I'm 5'5 and dd 16 is 5'6.

MrsStarwars · 14/08/2019 20:40

My ds is 14 and 6 ft already. Size 10 feet. I am 6 ft and most of my side of family are 6 ft or over so I think he will grow some more yet!

mononokeswolf · 14/08/2019 20:42

5'11" size 11 feet

orangeicecream · 14/08/2019 20:47

I am 5ft7 and kid's dad is 6ft1. My kids reached puberty early...much earlier than any other member rof both families.

My DS is 13 and 1/4 :)
He is 5ft 11 and takes a 10 shoe. He's been shaving for over a year and his voice broke when he was 11! He has grown 4" in the last year so not sure where he'll end up.

DD is 12 and 1/4 :)
She is 5ft 4 and a size 4.5 shoe.
Started periods at 10 and has grown 2" since then.

ComeOnGordon · 14/08/2019 20:51

My son will be 15 in a few months and he’s already 6ft 5 with size 14 feet Grin
He’s a good looking lad with a sporty body but I was shocked when he stood on the scales and he was 92kg. It seems so much but it’s perfectly in proportion for his frame

RockysMa · 14/08/2019 21:27

DS is 14 and is 6'1 wears size 8.5. Im 5' 5 and his dad is about an inch smaller than me. He towers over us and loves it!
M&S long length skinny for school trousers. Don't feel as good quality as previous years, but they will have to do.

AmateurSwami · 14/08/2019 21:28

6”2’ and size 12 shoe. He’s 15 in jan

Jboure · 14/08/2019 21:30

5 foot 10 inches and size 11 shoes

AmateurSwami · 14/08/2019 21:32

Meant to add I’m 5”8 & his dad is 6ft.

We buy burtons trousers, I’m hoping he doesn’t grow much taller 🙈

SolitudeAtAltitude · 14/08/2019 21:38

Most 14yr old boys are between 5ft and 6ft, it varies hugely

Mostly parents of the tall ones feel the need to post here Grin

Roselinemac · 14/08/2019 21:40

Speaking to an endocrinologist recently who told me girls stop growing when they start periods

Not true. Dd started her periods 2 years ago at 11.5, since then she has grown at least 6". She is 5ft 6 and 6.5 shoe size.

Walnutwhipster · 14/08/2019 21:40

DS2 turned 15 recently and is 5'2 size 6 shoe. DS1 was exactly the same and is now 6ft and size 9. I'm 5'3 and DH is 5'7.

Whoever posted this Hmm
I stopped growing at 22

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 14/08/2019 21:54

Mine is 15, 6ft and size 11 shoe. He is one of the taller ones in his friendship group but practically the oldest in his year.

He has grown 10" in 3 years.

youarenotkiddingme · 14/08/2019 21:57

My ds turns 15 next week.

5"8 and size 8 shoe.

I'm 5"7. His dad 5"11.

My dad and brother are 6" and 6"3. Mum and sister are 5"8.
Dads side are 5"11 (grandad), 5"9 (nan) and 5"6 (aunt).

So what he'll be eventually is anyone's guess!

youarenotkiddingme · 14/08/2019 22:00

Interesting about beard. My had hair on his neck and under chin. It's very slow growing and shaves about twice a month!

How much of a beard is an indicator?
