Fit & Sizing
Men's and Women's Running Shoes
We generally recommend that you order your Brooks running shoes 1/2 size to one size larger than normal dress shoes. For men's footwear, "D'" is the default width when no width is otherwise specified. For women's footwear, "B" is the default width.
Whenever possible, it is best to visit your
local running and walking footwear store for a proper fitting and guidance to help you find just right Brooks shoe for your foot and gait. You can also refer to our online
Shoe Advisor for assistance. If you've been running in another brand and want to try Brooks, check out our Running Shoe Comparison Chart.
Kids' Running Shoes
Children's shoes are sized in two waves. The first wave starts at size 1 for prewalking tots and extends to size 13.5 (measuring 7 3/4 inches from heel to toe.) The second wave again starts at size 1 (at just under 8 inches from heel to toe), and extends through adult sizes.
Our Kids' Defyance, with sizes 10.5-13.5, 1-7, starts in the first size wave and then continues into the second wave. The rough age range for this shoe begins around 3 years old.
Our Kids' Adrenaline™ GTS, offered in sizes 1-7, fits the second (larger) wave of children's shoe sizes. This range would normally accommodate children aged six years and older.
