That is a big change in a short time and apparently foot size of 12 is quite big for your height. If you also note of a significant change in your hand size in the same period, you should see a doctor just to rule out certain endocrinologic disorder. Growth spurt does not happen at 21 years old. Take care.

The growth centers in males close in most by 17. An x-ray of your wrist/hand can be examined for growth centers. If closed, no more increased height is possible. If you have not grown more than an inch taller in a year you are at or near the end.
