My 10 year old son has very wide feet. One day we went to every sporting goods store for hours and tried on wrestling shoes, but to no avail. Eventually I went to the line and it was the only wide shoe I could find that was small enough to be worth trying. To my surprise, as long as he wasn't wearing socks, he fit. Without those shoes I would have had to pull him out of the fight. It was expensive, but at least he could fight. I can't believe nobody makes wrestling shoes for kids with wide feet these days. I'm sure he's not the only one there. I got lucky with these shoes.
