We received an email asking us about Toddler sizes 8.5 or 9.0 size shoes (e.g. shoes made for a 3 year old).

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.
