A member asked:

How accurate is it that if you have a big shoe size you should be tall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeffrey Bowman answered

No: Just because you have large feet it doesn't mean you will be tall. My father was 5 feet 5 inches and wore a size 10 shoe. Hope that answers the question.
