Will I Grow Taller? Some People Say So Because Of My Shoe Size?!


Question: I'm a male, 16,
about 5'7 with a show size of 13-14. I look like one of those short clowns, with enormous feet. My parents and friends say I'm gonna grow taller because my feet are so big. I'm just wondering if this is true?

I would speak with your pediatrician about all of your growth concerns. While genes are a factor, some individuals do need that "extra boost" to have normality in growth. I would ask your pediatrician whether human growth hormone injections are right for you; and in the meantime try to adopt a high protein and low-fat diet combined with a regular aerobic workout routine of swimming, jogging, brisk walking, and/or running. You are a bit young to mess around with herbal stuff, especially since many herbs and herbal supplements have side effects much like traditional prescription medicines do.

yes you will grow, your pretty tall for your age, i wouldnt doubt your gonna have another growth spurt.

only god knows the answer to this question. i wouldn't worry too much about it because either way, there isn't anything you can do about it.

not always. You might just be a smaller person with big feet

Oh my, i wish i was that height. Well your feet size usually match your height in that if your tall you have big feet.. i'm v short and have tiny feet lol. I reckon you will grow more :)

If you take growth hormones before you are 18 you will. The one thing though is you will probabley have a huge head like the baseball player Barry Bonds. Visit an endocrinologist before you are 18 and he will advise you what to do they specialize in human growth, and remember visit a good one there are plenty of quacks out there

Im a 13 year old guy and im somewhere between 5'8 and 5'9. I wear a size 12, and my dad is 5'11 or somethin and he wears a size 9 shoe. So, ya i think we'll both do allot of growing

How tall are yor parents? Your height is based on your genetic make up. A child tends to be about the same height or a little shorter or taller then their parents. My mom was
5' 11" My dad around 5' 8" I stand 5' 5" My ex was I believe was also 5' 8" so I don't think my kid will be any where near 6' all thought I have cousins that stand just over 6'

what does this have to do with feet?

yes you will grow taller till about 21

ur definitely gonna grow taller but just exercise regularly stick to a healthy diet and most of all be patient. play sports such as basketball and volleyball just any sport that makes you jump high cus that really helps. good luck
