Your height and growing history
Posted by lankyguy10 on Jul 13th 2009

This is meant for those still growing :)

I’m 6’1” and I have size 13 feet (which have grown a tad in the past few weeks) For awhile my feet were just a little too big for 12’s and too small for 13’s but I had to wear 13’s anyway since most shoe companies dont make a 12 1/2. My armspan is 6’4 1/2” which hopefully means that I’ll grow some more because I would like to get taller. Finding shirts that dont look stupidly huge on me is difficult since I am so slim (135lbs) My dream height? 6’4”-6’5” Would be awesome. I would be happy at 6’3” but that little bit of extra height wouldnt hurt ;) I’m 17 years old by the way.

Now its your turn!

I’m 31, 5’2”, and … haven’t done any growing in any number of years. :: laugh :: I didn’t hit five feet until senior year of high school if that helps clarify my “growing history” ...

I was 5’-7” at 8, 5’-11 at 11, 6’-3” at 13, 6’-7” at 15, grew to 6’-11” at 17, then to 7’-2” at 19 and at 21 I am now 7’-3”. Funny thing is since my parents are only 5’-2” and 5’-10” the doctors never expected me to get this tall.

Shoe sizes went from size 10 at 8, size 13 at 11, size 15 at 13, size 17 at 15, size 19 at 17, size 21 at 19, and a size 22 at 21.

Inseam: 44 inches
Armspan: 7’-10” or 94”
Hands: 11-1/2”
Middle Finger: 5-3/4”
Tip of Thumb to Little Finger: 13-3/4”

I’m not sure if I believe tallguy7387… I mean I’d like to, but I’m 22, 5 foot 6, and have never come across an 8 year old as tall as me.

My story isn’t that much different from Tinyjameslandor… at 14 I was 5 foot 6, 115 pouds, and now that I’m 22, I weigh 116 (lol). I hear teens go through a growth spurt, but I think its a myth :P

Well when I was born I was very little, so I imagine people were thinking I would be a dwarf or something. However around 1st grade is when I heard all the comments of “wow, you’ve gotten tall.” For the longest time I was the tallest in my class, but here I am at the lovely age of 27 and a mere 5’8”.

It’s kind of amusing because since I hit 18, I’ve met sooooo many people who are taller than me, which is weird when you spent most of your life hearing others talking about how tall you are.

And now I’m rambling. :p

Strange thing is that ever since I have been 13, I’ve met so many people shorter than me. Some by inches, other by feet.

Shoe sizes went from size 10 at 8, size 13 at 11, size 15 at 13, size 17 at 15, size 19 at 17, size 21 at 19, and a size 22 at 21

Now he’s 22 – the first time tallguy7387’s age reached his shoe size…
