On the contrary, shadows (at least, those cast by sunlight) would be shortest at mid day and longest at sunset or sunrise, which is a phenomenon you can easily observe for yourself (which is why I have categorized this question under Science Experiments).

What day of the year are shadows the shortest?
The day when your shadow is the shortest depends on where you are on the Earth. * In the northern hemisphere it is when the sun is the highest in the sky. The day of the Summer Solstice * .In the southern hemisphere it is when the sun is the highest in the sky. The day of the Winter Solstice. * At the equator the sun is directly overhead and your shadow is at its minimum at each of the equinoxes
What strange things happen at mid-day?
At mid-day, known as the peak of solar radiation, shadows disappear and objects appear smaller due to the sun being directly overhead. Some people may experience a decrease in energy or a mid-day slump due to the body's circadian rhythm. Additionally, wildlife may become less active to avoid the heat of the day.
When is the time shadows are gradualy getting shorter?

How can you tell time from shadows?
If you place yourself on the equator at a the time of an equinox, then at mid day your shadow falls directly under your feet because the Sun is directly above you. As the Sun rises to this position and set form it, you shadow will fall to one side of you and the length of this shadow will depend on the height of the Sun in the sky, the shorter it is the higher the sun will be. Thus from the length and position of your shadow you can tell what time it is. Long shadows happen in the morning or evening and short shadows happen towards mid day.
When are short shadows created?
small shadows are created when the sun is right above an object
When was Mid Day created?
Mid Day was created in 1979.
