Tough to say much more than "the taller you are, the larger feet you 'should' have". Let me give you some examples. I have a friends brother who is 6' 10". You can find him in a crowd anyday, but his shoe size is mens 11. I have another friend who is barely 5' 10", if that. (I think he lies about the height) but his shoe size is a 13, maybe a 14 now. More examples of the lack of relationship between shoe and height: My mother knows someone 5'10" with a size 8 shoe and someone else 5'6" with a size 10 shoe. She didn't tell me much more. As an average rule of thumb, (no fact, just what I have concluded) the average man has a size 10-12 shoe size. The average woman has a size 7-8 shoe in womens, 5-6 in mens. Average man height is 5' 10" Average woman height is 5' 6" Now remember, that this is just the average. It is said that in China they used to tie womens feet with rope or cord when the woman was between the ages of 6-8. This made it so that when the woman grew, her feet would stay the same size and not reach that size 7-8 shoe potential. "Why?", you may ask yourself. Well, they said it was to make them "pretty" but in reality was so the women couldn't leave the house.

There is a closer relationship between shoe size and limb size than there is between shoe size and overall height. Unless something has interrupted normal patterns of growth, then the length of the foot from heel to tip of the big toe is exactly the length of the forearm between the inside of the elbow and the bend of the wrist. This has to do with how limb growth is genetically "balanced". Limb growth is related to overall body length in a slightly more complicated fashion, as it is very sensitive to nutrition. The length of the torso is generally determined more by genes than nutrition, but the length of the limbs is only partly genetic, and is partly due to the quality of diet and amount of protein that the mother gets while the individual is developing in the womb.

I would say the average height for a man is around 5'10 1/2 with and average shoe size of and eleven. I would say the average height of a women is still around 5' 4" with and average of a size 9 foot. The funny now is I just bought a pair of running shoes a size 10 in mens and I am a 5'9" male. When I measured my feet on the womens foot scale I was only a size 10 womens. When I measured on the mens I was barely a size 9. I think shoes have changed size now because more women wear a size 11 and that would we the old sizing for a nine in mens, now a size eleven womens would be size nine in mens. I even wear a 9 1/2 in boots. What is even crazier a women friend of mine is 5'9" and we have the same size shoe. I wish I wore atleat a size eleven in mens.

I think there a relationship between height and shoe size. I am a 5'9" male you wears a 9 1/2-10, but the funny thing is I measure only a size 9 in mens and 10 in womens. I have noticed women now average a 9 in womens and men average size 11. Height for a women has increased to 5'5" and men I believe is 5'11". With the increase in height shoe size will also increase. Women who are 5'6"-5'10" I would say majority of them wear a 9-11 and men who are 5'10"-6' would wear 10 1/2-12.

For women, it's not necessarily true. It's not unusual for a woman's feet to grow (lengthwise) after giving birth. I know my mother was a size 9 when she got married at age 29, but sometime in her 30s grew to a size 11. She was 5'8" tall. I'm also 5'8", but I wear a size 8. I've never been pregnant and am almost through my 30s, so I think I'm safe! :)

1) "Results The predicted percent for the ratio between foot size and height was 15%. The actual range for the percent foot size/height was 13.9 to 16.7% (variation range of -1.1 to +1.7). The equation from the plot of foot length versus height (y = 60.424 + 4.246*x) found that the relationship was 15.2%. The equation from the plot of shoe size versus height (y = 137.096 + 3.761*x) found the relationship was 17.5%. Conclusions/Discussion The foot measurement yielded important predictive information about the individual's height. Valuable assistance in solving crimes is gained through comparing shoe impression casts with actual shoes. Identifying marks and wear patterns can be used to match the shoe with the print to the exclusion of all others. Bones, and impressions left by foot bones, are key in solving many crime cases."

Shoeprint length and shoe size is positively correlated and increases linearly HOWEVER shoe size can only give an estimation of height. Difficulties include variation in the style of the sole and heel that influences the variability of the imprint left by shoes of the same size."

I am a 5'3 male with size 9.5 dress shoes and 10 sneakers. I think it is genetic, my father is about my height (1-2 inches taller, I was born premature, thats what I tell myself) and he has about the same size feet and hands.

There is no relationship between height and shoe size. I have met a lot of people shorter than I am wearing shoes at least two sizes bigger than I do. I also know people that are taller than me that wear smaller shoes. I'm 5'1" and I wear a size 6.5. My friend is 4'11" and she wears a size 8. My other friend is 5'4" and she wears a size 4. We are all the same age and ethnicity. So, there is no definate relationship between height and shoe size.

not really im 6 foot and i wear size 10 and my brother is 5'8 and he wears 12

So true the length of your forearm (surprisingly) is exactly the same length as your foot (unless you have some kinda of growth disorder like acromegaly/gigantism). and people who have longer arms and legs (relatively) generally have bigger (longer) hands and feet as well!

People who are taller should have bigger feet (hence bigger shoe size) because bigger people need a larger support base for their body. But that isn't necessarily the case. Sometimes a shorter person may have larger feet than somebody who's taller.

I'm 5'6" and have a shoe size of 6-7 men (depending on brand). Apparently, I have very small feet for my height. My forearm is about 2 inches longer than my feet. I suspect that Asians have smaller feet-to-height ratios than other ethnicities, even when the fact that Asians are shorter in general is taken into consideration.

It is no definite relationship but the idea of it goes the taller the person, the larger the shoe size. This is because the taller the person it, the bigger the base needs to be. Without it a person would be too top heavy. The same if you were to build a tower with legos or something. haha I'm 5'9'' and wear a size 10 womens, size 8 mens

I dont know if there is...but my size 15EE keeps my 6'5" frame from falling over.

im 16 years old and im 5'7 . i wear a size 11 1/2 shoe.

There is infact a strong relationship between foot size and height, I am writing a report on the subject, I have interviewed and collected data from over 200 people. When viewed on a scatter graph there is a definite line or trend between foot size and height only proving that there is a relation between the two. Hope this helps

Anybody noticed (shoemakers,scientists) that our (human) foot (same as hands) are actually shrinking; contrary to height which is increasing (secular trend, Tanner)?

Well. I think it depends on the family history. I know someone who is 17 and is 6'3'' but wears a 15/16 and is done growing: But i also know a couple of people who are 6'10'' and only wear 15's(for example, Tyler Hansborough, former UNC basketball player). I just turned 16, i wear a 17, and I'm 6'6'', but im not done growing. It definitely has some relation, but it ultimately depends on family history
