Real talk: Buying shoes every other week gets old fast.
"Not-so-good for parents — it's entirely normal to be replacing your kid's shoes every few months," Dr. Wolfram Schwarz, co-founder of evidence-based medical platform, tells Scary Mommy. "Most people's feet stop growing by age 20-21, and some people report that their feet got a size or even two sizes bigger during adulthood." That's right; you're likely buying shoes for your "kid" well through college.

Of course, you'll want to keep in mind that different brands might run slightly wider or narrower.
