According to my mother, the obstetrician who delivered me looked at my feet at birth and said I would be over 6 feet tall as an adult. My full adult height was 6'2; my (U.S.) shoe size is 12. I didn't achieve that full height until I was almost 20.
One of my sons is a copy of my adult body type. He's a bit over 6'2 and wears size 13 shoes. My other son is only 6'0 and wears size 11. (My daughter, at 5'7 is a couple inches shorter than her mother and I don't know what her shoe size is.)
So yeah, there is some evidence that you'll be a tall guy. And, you may achieve your adult height sooner than others your age. It's tough to do, but don't let it make you feel weird. In most Western cultures height is considered a positive characteristic.
Yes, height will make you more noticeable in a group. If you are sloppy in your dress or posture it can be a particularly unfavorable notice. If you dress just a little better than those around you - perhaps nothing more than tucking your shirt, and keeping those shoes clean and tied - it is more likely to be a favorable notice.
(And, I should add, I was NEVER any good at sports - pictures from childhood and adolescence show a kid whose arms, legs, feet, and hands just don't seem to be proportioned quite right for the body. Not ugly or freakish in any way, but not like the "average" person.)

Your feet will slow their growing a little as your body puts more energy into your height growth. Tallness and big feet kind of go together because it would look silly otherwise! When you hit 16 or 17 everything will start coming together and the girls will notice!! No matter what be confident, girls love guys who tower over them and we care NOTHING about the size of your feet.

 Hey. :D I'm 18, and I've always been tall too. When I was 15 I was 5'5, and had size 10s, now I'm pretty much reached my final growth hight, And I'm just shy of 5'9, and my shoe size is 11-12 in women [USA]. Just by what you say, you probably will be pretty tall. A good judge to see about how tall you will be is to look at how tall your family is. If you mom is kinda tall, and your dad is kinda tall, you probably will be tall too.
