Generally, Asics, adidas and Nike all come out with their new wrestling shoes in July of a particular year. This year the plan was for adidas wrestling shoes to come out in mid August. Well that has not happened yet, and to be honest I don’t know when they will all be in our wrestling store.

It sounds like some of the shoes like the adizero wrestling shoes should be in shortly. Hopefully by the end of the week or early the following week. Other shoes, you may have to wait a little bit longer on. You can pre-order your next pair of adidas wrestling shoes now and as soon as they come in we will ship them to you.

If I had to guess on all the shoes we have this year, all of the manufacturer’s are holding inventory very tight. That means, if you want a particular wrestling shoe for the end of the season…don’t wait until January or February to buy it.

Generally you have to add a 1/2 size to their normal gym shoe size (at least at WrestlingGear.Com – every shoe has a sizing recommendation).

So you would be looking for a 9.0 or a 9.5. They start making them at size 10 in Asics and adidas. Matman starts at an 11 and Nike at a size 12.0. Keep in mind I am talking toddler or about a 3 year old’s wrestling shoe.

You may need to wind up going up a full size. In the example of the dad looking for a size 9.0, he has to go up to a size 10 (although ideally he’d want a 9.5).

Unfortunately the market for these small shoes is not that large so most go up by 1 full size. Nike does go up by 1/2 sizes but we don’t carry them in a 12.5 and 13.5.

Once you hit a 1.5 they do make them by 1/2 sizes so you can follow the normal sizing recommendations.
