will I still grow?
Posted by finstrom on Jul 12th 2011

I have filled 15 a month ago, the last summer I was about 5 feet 11,5 (1.78m) and i’m now 6 foot 2 inches (1.88m)... my father is 6 feet (1.83m) and my mother is 5 feet 8 inches (1.73m), My shoe size is 50 in european, 15 in usa, my left hand measures 24 centimetres or 9,5 inches, that means I have big hands and feet for my height, but do this mean I will have a growth spurt soon? I would be happy for a quick respond!

It completely depends, it something that only time can tell. I’ve got quite big feet and hands for my height and I’m 5ft 11 (1.80m) which was confirmed to me in the hospital today and I’ve been around this height for at least 2 years now.

You didn’t say your age?? Its a crapshoot really, but you might ask your doctor what he thinks about future growth? Sometimes they can check your growth plates with exrays to see about potential growth?? Your foot size sounds about right for that height??? Good luck…

He did say his age, he’s just turned 15 but his English isn’t too great.

Here are a couple of online height predictors you can try:
http://www.tallpages.com/uk/ then select “Growth Calculator”.

They’re just estimates.

I was about your height at your age and ended up 193 cm (6’4”), but you have bigger feet.

Good luck.

You can increase your height by 0.4 cm/year by taking 1g calcium carbonate per day from age 10 to 20. Clinically proven.
