Do feet grow?

I had to buy new tennis shoes. After the dusty day of dirt biking, my shoes were toast. So, I found a nice new pair of Nikes (I like Nikes). Well, I had to buy 8.5s! What? My feet were 8s forever and now they are 1/2 a size bigger? What gives?

I know! Kids! When I had the girls, my ankles (or rather cankles) were huge for the loooooooooooongest time. I think it never fully shrank.

Yeah, that’s my excuse. 🙂
