just out of curiosity... just took my 8.5yo shoe shopping, and he is in a 4 now - just seems big to me lol! he's tallish and VERY slim, with skis for feet!
on the same topic - my 5yo boy wears an 11.5, and my 2.5yo girl wears a 5.5 or 6(she's a teeny tiny little thing).
Just like me being 44 and asking what size other 44 yo's wear to compare, everyone is different so there really is no comparison. My 8.5 yo wears a 4.5 or 5. As long as you are buying shoes that fit him, then they are the correct size. Good luck.

I know what you mean about sounding so big!
My son seemed to be a size 3 for a long time and then he finally went to a size 4 at 8 and half years old. Now he just turned 9 and a half and he's wearing a size 5. (He's just a bit taller than average for the boys in his class and he's on the slim side.)
FYI-His twin sister wears a 3 and a half to a size 4 depending on the shoes.

My 8 year-old daughter wore a size 4... At nine, she still wears a size 4 and I'm OK that her feet seem to have taken a slight growing break! She's tall for her age, too. She wears a size 14 in clothing.

My 9.5yo son is in a size 6. He is 4 feet 9 inches tall.
My 5.9yo son is in a size THREE! He is 4 feet 1 inch tall.
I'm 5 feet 11 in and I wear a size 10.
DH is 6 feet 4 in and wears a size 13.
So they'll probably end up over 6 feet tall and size 13 or bigger shoes.

~As a Mom/Auntie to a whole grip of boys, I think your son is about right for his age...but keep in mind my husband wears a 12 1/2 and my BIL wears a 13, so I am used to the boys/men having BIG feet!

My 7.5 year old boy is tall and super skinny and his size 2 shoes are to small. I am guessing we will end up in a 3. My 2 year old boy is wearing a 7.5 so he has big feet too. Girls are smaller or more normal I guess cuz my daughter is 4 and wearing a 8.
