When Do Girls Feet Stop Growing?

As a growing girl, you may be wondering when your feet will stop expanding and settle into their adult size. The good news is that, for most girls, foot growth is a relatively short-lived process. Typically, foot growth begins between the ages of 8 and 13 and continues until around ages 15 to 17. This means you have approximately 7 to 9 years of experiencing changing foot sizes before reaching your full adult size.

During growth spurts, which can occur every 6 months or so, you may find that your feet grow about a shoe size. However, the exact timing of these growth spurts can be unpredictable and may vary from person to person. Once you hit puberty, your growth plates start to close up, signaling the end of your foot growth. While some girls may continue to gain a half size or so after age 17, for most girls, their foot growth will have largely finished by this point.

By your mid-teens, you'll likely have reached your full adult shoe size, which falls within sizes 5 to 10 for most women. The most common shoe sizes for adult women in the U.S. are 7, 7.5, and 8. However, it's important to remember that shoe sizes can vary greatly between brands and styles, so it's always a good idea to try on shoes before purchasing them.

While some girls may have feet that are slightly larger or smaller than average, the vast majority will reach their full adult shoe size during the growth phase described above. On average, girls' feet grow between 1/2 and 1 full shoe size between the ages of 10 and 15. However, like with any other aspect of growth, there can be significant variation from person to person.
