My soon-to-be ten-year-old loves these shoes. Which is great, since I told her that for the price, she's wearing them until her toes pop out.I originally purchased a size 3 in a different design, which were a reasonable price. Well, it turns out DC's run a bit small. We had to return them. By then, of course, the reasonably priced design was sold out. With her heart now set on a pair of DC's, I went ahead and ordered these in a size 3 and a half, even though they cost more than any pair of shoes I have ever bought for myself.They fit, and she's happy, but the charms fell off within a week of her wearing them daily, and now that she has had them a month, the sparkles on the toes are scuffed.From now on, she either gets the $15 pair from Target, or she pays for her own shoes.These are the perfect little shoes, and they look exactly as the picture. I looked at my daughter's shoe sizes in her closet and bought the same size, when they came in, they were too small. I sent them back (bought a 11.5, and ended up needing a 12.5) and ordered another pair. My daughter loves them, I just wish the shoelaces were a little longer (they're hard to double knot, something that needs to be done since she's only 5 and doesn't know how to tie her own shoelaces for school).If you buy these, I suggest you buy one size bigger than you were planning to. Love them!My daughter is really rough on shoes, I had a lot of friends that said DCs were great so I took a chance, I got nervous about the size so I got a bigger size then it recommended. I'm glad I did cause they fit perfectly! The only thing I didn't like is the size 2 was 30$ and they size 3 40$ that's crap! Otherwise love them, only time will tell if they stand up to a 9 year old!Let me begin by saying that I really like the look and feel of these shoes. My daughter fell for them the second she saw them and put them on. But, the pair that we got degraded quickly. A majority of the sparkles were gone within a week and the stitching was already starting to fray.BUT, I contacted DC Shoes warranty department and they were happy to replace them after seeing pictures. I'm sure I just got a bad pair.So, back to the good - the shoes fit her feet nicely. They are skate style shoes and offer a lot of support. She can wear them day after day and not feel any discomfort. Plus, I think they make her feel like a princess with the sparkles.I have to say these are super cute. I unfortunately had to return them because the black part is sparkly. I have a tomboy who has outlawed anything pink, purple, or sparkly, and the photo does not show this. If you can deal with sparkles, these are very cute. Also, they were listed as used-good. The seller totally underestimated these. I would never have known they were used. To me, they showed no signs at all of being worn, and were in the original box. Would highly recommend these (whoever gets my return will be getting a great bargain)!These shoes are really nice I purchased two pair unfortunately they were both one size to small. So make sure you order ONE SIZE BIGGER than your child actually wears to avoid the hassle of returning them ...overall great shoes and I highly recommend.Ordered these with free shipping and received in 4 business days. They are true to size and my daughter just loves them! What more can you ask? The price was right, size was right, kid loves 'em, no returns needed. I give it 4 stars as we've only had them a couple of weeks and I'd like to see how long they hold up before giving them 5.I absolutely love these shoes. Yes I'm 21 and buying kid shoes FOR MYSELF... but Hey if they shoe fits... wear it! These are literally my new favorite pair of shoes. They are so cute and comfortable. I usually wear a size 7-8 in women's.. so.. ladies... if ur like me, want these shoes but don't see your size. Bigkid size 6 is the same as a 7-8 in women's. And a hell of a lot cheaper than most shoes these days.I got these for my daughter for something to wear other than flip flops all Summer.DC's are always excellent quality. Really good price and they came quickly.She's had so many compliments on them.Thank you!
