You don't provide enough information, like your age? In a human, shoe size has absolutely NO bearing on how tall you will be. The best way to find out what your predicted height will be is to talk to your pediatrician. Usually around the age of 2, the pediatrician will measure a child's femur. This femur measurement is used to predict the child's adult height.

Your height is predetermined by genetics. You can stunt it by improper diet, etc but there is nothing you can do to be taller. (Yes, there is surgery where you can have your leg bones separated and plates put in to lengthen your bones but this is only done for those of less than normal height. It is also very painful with a long recovery period). A male will continue to grow until age 21 while a female reaches full height at 18.

You might want to go here, enter the required info and receive an estimate of how tall you will get to be. Remember, it is only an estimate! This is really a rough estimate as it does not take into consideration more than your parents so do not rely on it's results.

BTW, my in-laws are 5'4" and 5'7" and their shortest son is 6'1". All their boys (6 boys!) are over 6 feet! Of course, the boys had very some very tall uncles!
