What is your 8 year old son shoe size?

[Anonymous]

Are you really sure these shoes actually FIT? My son is 9 and in a size 2, maybe 3, and 90th% for height. All of his friends wear these HUGE shoes that flop around like Bozo feet when they run because they are obviously too big. Is it like a bragging right that your kid has "big feet"?

There are a few other kids that are around his height, but none that are noticeably taller. Where are PP's posting from with all of these >100% height kids??

Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

My kid is 4’4” at best, and wears size 2

My son turned 8 a month ago and wears size 5. He is 4’6” and 90% for height. I can wear his sneakers (women size 6 1/2 or 7), and sometimes put his on by mistake. He is quickly outgrowing them and not sure if I should next buy 5 1/2 or 6. Noticed at trampoline birthday party that his feet and shoes stood out.

My almost 9 year old just moved to size 6. We now wear the same shoes. He is just shy of 5 feet.

What kind of big headed Todd are you raising

My son is not quite 8 1/2 yet, but he is in kids (or men’s) size 7 / 7.5. He is in the 98th percentile for height.

Yep! My son is 4’9” and we’ve only met one kid his age who is slightly taller.

FWIW, he wears a 6 in every day shoes, a 7 (needs adult size for that now) in sports cleats.

Your son's entire friend group has parents who buy their kids shoes too big? That seems...unlikely

My 8 yr old daughter is in size 6 or women’s 8.
She is 4’9” and about a full head taller than her classmates.
