Shoe size

[sparkla]

Can I ask what size shoe your pre teen is? My dd is 9y3m and very tall - 145cm/ 98th centile. She's a 2-2.5 shoe which I think is closer to average. When do kids reach their final shoe size anyway? I'm very average myself fwiw 5'5" and shoe 5.

My 11 year old son is 5’3 and size 6.

At 9 he was about 4’6 and about a size 1 ish.

He’s shot up the last few years, literally looks like someone’s stretched him on a rack

9.5 y/o did is a 3 but also quite tall (almost my height but I am only 5.2)

[sparkla]

@MollysMummy2010 yes my dd is already 4'9 but her dad and I aren't tall!

[MollysMummy2010]

@sparkla - her dad is 6ft5 so I am a bit worried!!

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

My DN is on the 98th centile. I think she has reached her adult shoe size at 13 (years, not shoe size!)

My 11 daughter is 158cm and has just started wearing size 6 shoes. My feet didn't stop growing until I was 17 I wear a size 9

[justanotherworkingmum]

DD not massively tall (5 foot 6/7 now at 14) but has had size 7.5 feet since year 6, when she was about 5 foot 3. Great actually as you know she's not going to grow out of shoes!

[sparkla]

So is my dd really disproportionate?! Are her feet small for someone of her height?

[LifeOfBox]

Not sure but DD is only just 13, 5’9” and a size 8.5 shoe, 9 in Nike trainers. Definitely still growing incl shoe size.

My DD is age 10 she is just shy of 1.6m tall and has size 6 feet.
Child appropriate footwear is a problem

[sparkla]

Yes that must be tricky @IndieTara but aren't Clark's good at the larger school shoe sizes?

[sparkla]

Kids definitely seem to be taller and develop earlier these days!

[IndieTara]

@sparkla Clark's aren't that good no
In theory they d make them in larger sizes but they're rarely in stock.
They order them in for us but then they don't fit despite being measured at Clark's !
So then they say to try a different fit or a half size down and invariably they aren't in stock again.
We also try the Women's section which is better for stock levels but also adds on an extra £12 or so for pretty much the same shoe!

sparkla my 10 year old step daughter is just slightly taller than your DD but is still in size 2 shoes. I don't think her feet look disproportionately small.

[Rugbymumof2]

DD is 9.6yrs and today measured a size 3 for school shoes, she's about 4ft 7.5 (141cm) she either has quite slow growing feet as was a 2.5 since Sept last year or I've forgotten a big growth spurt just before that

[Pipandmum]

My daughter is 14 but hasn’t grown much since she was 12. She seems to have stopped at 5’6” shoe size 6.5. I’m 5’10” shoe size 9 (8 before kids).
I understand they don’t grow much a year or two after starting menstruating.

[SallyOMalley]

My 7.5yo DD has size 2 feet 😳

[killerkoala]

I'm 27 5ft3 and a size 2 😭😭

[yetanothernewusername1]

Wait for this....my 10 year old niece is 5ft 3 with size 8 feet!!!
My 11 year old boy in size 7, 8 year old girl in a 3

[namechangedforthis1980]

My 10 yr old DS is 5ft 3 and has size 7.5 feet. He is particularly big for his age though. His older brother has size 12 feet so I think DS2 is on his way to have huge feet too!

[Choufleur]

Dunno but hope it’s soon. Ds is (13) and a size 12.

[Ithinkmycatisevil]

Dd1s grey stopped growing at 11, she’s now 14 and a size 5.5, she has grown a few inches in height since then and is 5ft5 or so. Dd2 is 11 and a size 5. I don’t think her feet will grow much more, she’s about 5ft 1.

[PhantomErik]

My dd is 10.5 yrs & wears size 1 trainers & 13.5 dance shoes. She's about 135cm tall.

[BehindATractor]

Dd is 11 and a size 2.5/3. She is on the small side, though - about 143cm.

[Blueandredandblue]

My 9 yr old dad is 5ft 2 and size 4 feet. I'm 5 ft 5 with size 5 feet, she's very excited at the prospect of wearing my shoes
