Answer 1

Trash them or give them to someone who wears a 14. At the very least, you should throw them into the back of your closet and never wear them.
Yes, you might grow into them, but it's doubtful. At your age, you've done about 3/4 of your growing, so you won't suddenly spurt up to over 6' and needing that big of a shoe.
The size difference is too much, even for just walking to the "crick." When they slip and slide on your feet, you are taking the chance of hurting yourself if you wear them. You never know when they would get hung up on a root or vine, and you could trip and fall. You shouldn't risk a twisted ankle, or even a broken leg, just to make your uncle feel better.
Besides, your uncle would never know the difference. The next time he tries to give you shoes, just tell him that while you appreciate the gesture, you can't wear them. Suggest that he take them down to the Salvation Army or Goodwill.
