How can his feet grow so fast?
Caleb played soccer last fall and even though soccer cleats aren't
required at his level, we thought we'd buy some. However, we kept forgetting to get them and he went through his first game just wearing regular shoes. The day before his second game, DH just bought a pair without Caleb and guessed on the size. They were too big, so he wore regular shoes again. Since he only had 3 games left at that point, we decided to not replace them, but just use them this spring. Well, he tried them on this morning and they are too SMALL! I can't believe he grew out of them without even wearing them. My only consolation is I have two other boys that hopefully will get use out of them later. ~ Sher |

When kids enter puberty, their feet and hands grow fast first, then their forearms and lower legs, then their thighs and upper arms, then their trunks. So they grow sort of from outside in. That is probably going on with your son. Jeff ~ Sher |

My oldest kid is just turned 13, and he has been wearing US size 11 men's shoes for close to a year. When he first started wearing this size he was only 5' 3". It was crazy - he looked like the letter "L" - his feet looked just huge relative to the rest of him, and yes, they just grew like crazy for a while. They now seem to have pretty much stopped, which is a good thing, since neither my husband OR my father had feet as big as my son's, and they were both over 6 feet. For a while there it was just nuts, since he kept outgrowing shoes, sneakers, slippers, sandals, ice skates, roller blades faster than I could buy them (and of course, he never wore any of them out, so my basement has a shelf of outgrown sports foot gear his brother may eventually be able to wear). He's now about my height - 5' 6", which pleases him no end, and I'm sure the height growth is about to take off like a rocket. I'm sure I'll be looking up at him shortly. Mary G. (mom of three) |
