These shoes are beautiful and very comfortable, but please be careful if you have a child with long narrow feet. I have two daughters, one with narrow long feet and one with shorter wider feet (not exceptionally wide, just regular wide-ish 6 year old feet). I got a pair for each daughter. For my narrow footed daughter, these were a no go. Tons of floating empty space in the front (much like other reviews about narrow feet). For my older daughter, these were perfect although the we had to size down. She adores them and wears hem whenever she can. We live in South Florida so they are like sneaker sandals, airy but protect the toes and feet. They dry fast, rinse under water, and quite frankly are the prettiest shoes I could find on here! They have an elegant profile and high quality details. I love them so much that I got the size 6 for myself! I usually wear a size 7, so size down :)
