Height and shoe size have a positive relationship but there can still be outliers (Slack). The average height to foot ratio in a person is 6.6:1 (Tremblay). Toes are used to help with balance and feet help give us a base for support when walking or standing. The taller the person the stronger or bigger the base they will need (Tremblay). This supports that the taller the person the bigger the foot or shoe size would need to be. When looking at a kid’s foot size you can see how tall your child could be. When kids start growing out of their shoes quickly it can be a sign of a growth spurt that is coming up. For girls their feet will grow a year before a growth spurt during puberty (Tremblay).
