Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Shoe size generally is proportional to height, so it’s used in many height-predicting formulas out there. A lot of the time, these formulas take into account the parents’ height, as well. However, the results are usually far from reliable.
Detailed explanation-2: -The study of 660 children showed that pediatricians and family doctors took incorrect height measurements for two-thirds of the youngsters. Babies, older children and teen-agers were mismeasured by an average of about 3/4 inch and as much as 4 1/2 inches.
