The shoes themselves are great. They are cute and supportive. My only issue is they are small.My son generally wears a 1 sometimes a 2. The last shoes I bought him were size 1.5 and they fit perfectly. I bought a 1 and a 21/2. I knew the 1 would likely be small, but the price was great and he does wear 1's still in some shoes.In the 1's his toes had to bend to get them in. Ok, at least Amazon has a great return policy for cloths and shoes. So, I had my son try on the 2 1/2's to get an idea how long or soon he might be ready for them, I Was SHOCKED - they fit him now, and frankly even in these his toes are pretty much at the front of the shoe. Again the price was great when I grabbed them, so we'll keep the 2 1/2's and he'll wear them, but won't get the time and use I was hoping from the 2 1/2's and of course the prices are not longer crazy good and so buying an even bigger size isn't a real option right now.But, I think it's worth knowing that these are a smaller running then other brands might be. I wish I'd started at the 2 1/2 and then bought a 3 1/2 or 4 for later.
