    Shoe size doesn't really go by height and weight. Yes, a taller person will normally have larger feet and therefore require larger shoes, but there's no way to determine the exact shoe size without measuring the feet.

    Ok, but I am doing this to help with my fictional basketball player. Any way to calculate my player's shoe size to fit his proportions?

    Okay, so you're not actually buying shoes for someone. ;)

    I would guess a size 13. You do have to keep in mind that different countries have different sizing. I'm talking about a Canadian mens size 13. :)

    Thanks. A size 14us shoe will make my freckle-faced redhead go fast on those rebounds & fastbreaks!

    Sounds good. It's great that you're thinking about all of these things for your character, it will make him more real.

    We have a writing forum on this site. If you ever want a critic of your writing there are many people here that have not only written books and had them published, but others that are working on their own books.

    I hope you come back, share some of your work. :)
