While we currently do not manufacture shoes in children’s sizes, you may still be able to find a shoe in our lineup to fit younger runners. Children’s shoes run off of the men’s sizing scale for length. Most of our men’s shoes start at a size 7 (equivalent to a big kid’s size 7), but you can find some of our spikes and racing shoes in as small as a size 5 (a big kid’s size 5). Our women’s shoes start at a size 5, which is equivalent to a big kid’s size 3.5 in length. To find your child’s size in women’s, add 1.5 to the big kid’s size.
We recommend bringing your child to a local store to be fitted properly, but we have provided a chart below to approximate your child’s shoe size in Brooks shoes for an idea of where to start (please note that both men’s and women’s sizing may run wider than a traditional kid’s shoe). Remember, if you do order from our website and don’t get the right fit immediately, you’re covered by our Run Happy Promise.
