Is it possible to get slightly taller after 25?

I found it was so embarrassing while I was looking for sneakers today. I am not very tall, just 184cm (but still consider as "tall" group in Asian country) . I saw some my friends grew a little bit before 25, but I don't feel it worked on me.

I tried a pair of nike in US 13, it is too tight for my toes and also impossible to walk. Then I tried US14, it is much better that I couldn't feel any free room inside, so I asked for US 15. It is less likely possible for a guy like me to put on such big shoes.
The sales assistant looked at my feet and tried their best to make the US 14 became "big enough" to fit. Of course they failed and get a paired of US 15. It fits extremely well with exactly 1 finger free space.

At that time I heard someone said "We got a bigfoot!" and then I quickly noted several eyes spotted at me and my feet!
:eek:It was so embarrassing and so bad. It seems to be a wrong matching when one is not so tall to put on a pair of shoes in that size. I wish to get several cm taller. Is there any method to do that?

I´m afraid, that I have to dissapoint You... Growth of feet happened to many guys I know at this age, but growth of height is very uncommon. I myself went from a size 13 to a size 15 between 25 and 32, but my height of 6ft4 didn´t increase. I suppose You have to live with Your proportions, welcome to the Bigfoot-Club ;)

I think the nike 's size is somehow not true. My feet with socks on is just 30cm and they are not wide width. Nike's sizing seems running 1-2 size bigger.

I'm 191cm and have size 22us feet... you can't complain because I have big feet. I'm only 7cm taller than you. People stare at me all the time. Don't get embarrased. I love my big feet. I just wish I was taller. But I can only wish. Plus at least u can buy shoes in store. Size 22 is so hard to find.

I agree size 22 is really difficult to find. But still, as I am living in Asian's place, size > US 13 is something hard to imagine. The shops won't have these sizes.
