How tall can I expect her to grow with....

[letfuller]

size 5 1/2 shoes for a 7 year old? My daughter is soooo difficult to keep in shoes. Is this normal for a 7 year old to have such big feet?

Wow! I thought MY daughter was growing fast! She's 9 and she wears a size 6 woman's shoe. I believe that somewhere equal to a size4-5 girls...she's about 4'8", but my husband is over 6' tall, I'm only 5'4" .

i wore a size 6 shoe when i was 8. i'm 5'10" now.

And on the flip side, I'm 5'10" and wear a size 7 1/2 shoe. I don't think shoe size is always directly related to how tall one is.

im only like 5'3' and i wear size 7 shoe sometimes 6 1/2 depends on the shoe. when i was 10 i wore size 12 in girls so me feet have just begun to grow in high school!! i thought i was going to have baby sized feet the rest of my life. im so glad i got over that

Our DD is and has always been 75-90% for height. At her 4 year old check up we were told to expect she would be 5-7 to 5-9 once she reaches her full height. At 4 she is wearing a size 11 shoe, still in childrens but not likely for much longer...

There is a mathematical formula I saw somewhere to figure about a 3 inch range of height based on mother's and father's heights. Of course, I didn't bother to write it down or rip it out of the magazine and now would love to see it for DS (1). He's been 95
+ percentile for height all along. I'll have to see if I can find the formula. Anyone else ever seen this?

My 10 year old DS, who is 5' tall, wears a men's size 9 shoe. I'm dreading what the upcoming years are going to do to our shoe budget.

His pediatrician estimates that he'll be somewhere between 6'3" and 6'6" when all is said and done. I hope he stops a bit short of that.

Well, my son is 6 and still wearing a child's 12. My DD#2 is 9 and wearing almost a 4.
My 12 year old wears a size 9 womens!!!!! She is 5'3" and I hope she grows "into her feet". I wore an 8 until I had kids (now an 8 1/2). She wears bigger shoes than I do!
The kicker (no pun intended) is that she goes through sneakers just as fast, but they cost twice as much! $50 for a decent pair, even $30 for name brands at Value City!

I've seen some articles that say double a child's height at age 2 and that's about what he/she will be at full height.

Thanks for that info CEDmom - my daughter is 2 now and 34 inches. She wears a 6 1/2 wide toddler shoe. I can see her being 5'6" since I am 5'5" and my husband is 6'.

OT - CEDmom, I love all the different pictures you post of your daughter - she is so cute.

Two of my kids have quite large feet. DD is tall for her age; DS is not tall for his age - just average.

Thanks. What happened to that cute picture you had up of your DD?

Try this to predict how tall your child will be. Its not an exact science, but it seems about right:

My husband is 6'4" and only wears a size 10.5. He has small hands too, cant' palm a basketball (this really bothers him ). So, foot size is not always porportionate to height.

Thanks Snoopy! That must be close to it; one of my DD's numbers was what came up.

Our youngest just turned 7 and she is a size 5. She is also 6" taller than her DS at this age! DS, 15, is 6'3" and wears a size 15! Arrggg I need to open a shoe store!
