A member asked:
My sister is 12 and a half years old.. 5'0 feet about 86 pounds and a size 8 shoe do u think they should grow that much more?

Perhaps a spurt: The growth plates in the metatarsal bones and phalanges in the foot will determine the final shoe size as far as length is concerned. Growth here can continue up to age 20. In girls, the growth plates will close between 14-18. She will most likely grow at least a bit more.
