My DDs did that too. They were in 90th percentile until 3 or so and the started losing. They are 9 and 7 and in the 60th percentile. Oldest has somewhat big feet (women size 7 at almost 10) and she is far from starting puberty. DH is tall and SIL is 6’, but I am only 5’3”.

My son is 4 and still 90th percentile. I think he wear a size 12 though so not huge.

My 20 month old DS wears size 10s. I assume by 3 he will be far beyond a 13. He is incredibly tall.

But the apple doesn’t fall far, I’m a woman who wears size 12. I’d much rather be a man with big feet.

It's a tall kid thing. My daughter is in the high 90s percentiles for height and has always had much bigger feet than her friends. Maybe a size 12 as a 3 year old and size 3.5 now as a 7 year old. There are one or two taller boys in her grade with even bigger feet. It's just how it goes with tall kids.

My kids had big feet. Now DS13 wears a 12, and DS12 wears a 10.

Sorry just saw you are average height

It usually indicates height. Are you (parents) tall?

Flatter feet can also measure taller.

I had a size 9 adult foot (i am female) by 4th grade. I am 10.5 now as an adult so they tapered off obviously. I am 5’10, which is pretty tall for a female but not ungodly tall.

You should obviously bind his feet to stop them from growing.

He just going to be a giant kid. Put him in sports that benefit from size.

Get him swimming! Big feet are a huge asset!

OP here - yes the pants I just bought for DS are a 5T/6T and they fit perfectly. At this rate he is going to have size 15 shoes or something as an adult.

This is so kid specific but not at all extreme. One of my girls was like that and now wears women’s 8 at age 10. She has a good friend who wears a 1, yet they’re the same height

You have a big kid with big feet. It is what it is.

My 3 year old's feet seem to be twice the size of his classmates - I cannot keep up with how fast his feet are growing! I just bought him a size 13 shoe!

Is this normal for boys? Does this just continue until they reach their full adult height? I cannot believe how quickly I have to buy shoes for him. He is also in the 99th percentile for height and weight so I guess it tracks but it continues to surprise me, especially given that DH and I are average height.
