These are adorable (flamingo pattern), but they seem to run narrow. I ordered one size up for my 4 year old daughter and they were still a tight fit. She didn't care for wearing them for more than a few minutes and claims they hurt her feet. I will probably exchange them for the next size up and see if we can strech them a bit. They are seriously so cute that they are worth the hassle of breaking in! They do seem well made, just a narrow fit.I bought these for my very active 7-year-old son. He LOVED these shoes upon arrival, but complained later that day that when he would run, his feet would come out of the shoes. As I mentioned, he is very active, so this was a frustration for him throughout the day. They do have a fantastic fit, though, and he says that they are extremely comfortable. We'll keep them for school this September and I think they'll be great because he won't be running around all day long during school hours. During the summertime, all he does is run!They are adorable but hard for my 8 year old to get on. They hurt her feet and she rarely chooses to wear them. Makes me really sad because I love the way they look. We have tried to have her break them in for a couple days but she started to get red sores on the tops of her feet where they were rubbing.Adorable shoe, but the size runs small so my daughter couldn't wear these. We gave them to a friend and she is rockin' the flamingos!Son loves the shoes. They ran a little small on him,but Amazon makes it so easy to exchange. Good shoe at a great price.The shoes are cute and wear well, but they definitely run about a half size smaller than what my daughter wears in a sneaker or slip on shoe.The shoes are adorable, but way too small. We will need to go at least a size up.I bought this for my 6 year old daughter and she loves it! She is usually very picky about the colors but boy, this is her favorite pair! You will need to size up because it can get tight initially. But overall, it is beautiful!
