And the fun part of it all is that he'll always have his growth spurt right in the middle of the season so I have to buy his shoes in multiple sizes to get through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293728 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 12:49:44 +0000 catlady 2293728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been super variable for us. She was in 3s for awhile, grew out of 4s fast, was in 5s for what felt like a long time (I definitely threw away several pairs that had developed holes), and now that I've started buying 6s, I feel like she's already almost ready for 7s after only a few weeks. It's a total mystery to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293691 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 12:18:14 +0000 pmerr 2293691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's feet have always been huge (thanks to my family :grin: ). He's currently 2 (just turned 2 about 2 weeks ago) and I'm buying him size 8s because he's starting to bust out of his 7s. I've had to buy him the next size up every 6 months or so. And, he wears them down so much that we can only save about half of our shoes for whenever we have our next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293576 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 11:03:33 +0000 Corduroy 2293576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I put shoes on LO (well before she could walk) she was a 5. She stayed a 5 for a long time, until she was about 2. Now she's 2.5 years old and a 7.5. Foot growth is hard to predict. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293543 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 10:46:28 +0000 loveisstrange 2293543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C's feet grew like crazy until 2 and then she's gone up maybe a .5 size in a year and a half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293353 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 09:09:00 +0000 Alivoo01 2293353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and seems to be changing shoe sizes every 3-4 months. He was a 5 this spring, 5.5 this summer, and will solidly be a 6 this fall. So we have quite a shoe collection since he started walking when he was a size 3.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293158 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 07:40:35 +0000 peachykeen 2293158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I have the opposite problem (although DD is not quite 13 months yet). We have been in size 3s forever! I bought most of her "cute" shoes (moccasins, boots, sparkly Crocs) in size 4 figuring she would be there about 12 months, but this girl's feet just won't grow! </p> <p>I started putting her in the 4s anyway, and daycare keeps sending them back because she just pulls them off (probably because of the sparkles, right?) :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293067 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 02:21:09 +0000 lamariniere 2293067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found this is really kid dependent. DS's feet seem to grow very slowly. I buy his sneakers half a size up and winter and rain boots a full size up. He got 2 winters out of his last pair winter boots and rain boots and a full school year out of his last pair of sneakers. </p> <p>DD has gone up 2 shoe sizes since this spring. I just had to buy her all new shoes. Luckily, I think she's going to fit into DS's first pair of winter boots this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293064 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 02:02:40 +0000 hellocupcake 2293064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish there was a pattern or something that made sense, but like all things baby: they vary so much! My DD was walking in a size 2 shoe. I had the hardest time finding her shoes. She was in 3s and 4s for a blink and then 5s were a good 6 months. She's almost 3 years old and barely in a 6. My DS isn't even walking and already wears a size 5?! He's about to be a year old and is just growing faster than I can keep up. 😐 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foot-growth-when-does-it-slow-down#post-2293058 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 00:53:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2293058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD definitely got her feet from DH. I've been buying her a few sizes ahead since she's learned to walk, but it seems her sweet little feet aren't slowing down anytime soon. She's 3 and it feels like her feet are growing faster than ever! </p> <p>I always buy 2 sizes up in winter/rain boots but it's come to the point where I'm buying her shoes almost in her current size because anything bigger is so ginormous it looks ridiculous! </p> <p>When did your LO actually start wearing down a pair of shoes? At what age did s/he wear a size the longest? To anyone with big-footed munchkins, at what age will their height catch up to their shoe size?</p> <p>Thanks! :heart: </p>
