Same. I would like to know, because my DS already wears size 10 at age 12.

Wow. I better get my money together. Those sizes cost more and Nike is making shoes smaller and smaller. We switched to getting shoes from the adidas outlet and i usually buy ahead. I was going to get some size 6 and 7s but i guess I’ll wait and see if they skip over some sizes.

Good question Op!

I don’t have sons, but that was true for my daughters. They went through 3 sizes in 6th grade and then they were done.

11-12 years old.

I wonder if shoe size is a good indication of how tall you would grow.

Omg, my kids never going to grow! He’s nearly 15 and his feet are size 5 or 6. Still not even a hint of puberty.

Are you seeing an endocrinologist? That is getting to be a little late (and my own DS was very late).

Is your son tall?

He’s about 5’2 now. Feet grow first. He’s actually always been on the short side until now. Seems average for a 6th grader

14y or so...but he still kept growing in height. He is almost 18y and still growing.

Age 13 to 14. I’m hoping it slows down now. He’s a size 13, bigger than his father’s feet! He’s about 5’9” but I think he’ll hit 6’ before he’s done.

His entire life, my son’s feet seem to have stayed the same size for a very long time, sometimes years, then suddenly shoot up 2+ sizes at once. He’s 16 and a 13 shoe now. The time before we bought shoes he was a 10.5. I hope the trend doesn’t continue.

DS1 just turned 13. His feet went from size 9 to 12 in 7 months. He outgrew so many pairs of shoes this year!

About the same rate for my 13-year-old.
