do your twins have the same size feet?

I have id dtds and they are on their 3rd pair of shoes and 2 times out of 3 they've had the same size, one time the difference was one width but length the same. Lady in Clarks said she couldn't believe it as she'd seen loads of twins and they are always different... but they are id, similar weight (couple of ounces different) so it makes sense they'd have the same size feet.
Were your dts the same? Just curious

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Sometimes, the first few times we got them measured they were the same. Then one was a size up then the same again - yada yada yada. My 2 are non id, not sure if that effects growth...?

they are size 9 and size 10 makes it easy finding the right shoes.

mr big foot is also a couple of inch's taller than his brother (they are 4 1/2) , but the other one consoles himself with I AM OLDER :)

Mine are identical and exactly the same size even with a weight difference left over from TTTS. I try and make sure they have their own shoes though in case the sole moulds to the way they walk or something (I actually have no idea if that happens or not!).

Mine have their own shoes but last time I got them different ones dtd2 got very upset they weren't the same. If they end up with identical ones I'll name them :)

MultipleMama · 26/05/2013 19:47

Mine are identical and are 1 size apart but same size clothing. They're only in crawling shoes though so it may change when they start walking and have proper shoes.

In a way I'd hate to have them the same size as I'd always get confused on whom they belong to.

silverangel Everyone walks a certain way, so they'll wear their shoes in differently, so it's good you have separate pairs :)

My dts are Id twins. Both 19 now. Growing up they both always had same exact size feet. Never had to buy different sizes when it came to shoes. They would always compare feet sole to sole with each other to compare sizes. Currently they have size 8 feet. When they put their bare feet sole to sole the length and width from the heel to their toe are exactly the same. My two nephews who are id twins don't have similar sizes. When they compare bare feet sole to sole with each other, one kid has size 7 and the other has 7 and a half. Little difference. They are only 15 years.

My twin girls are 8 and have always had the same size shoe. However the first born always tends to have her growing spurt just before her sister.
