I have always been a fan of stride rite shoes. These do run large by about a size to a size and a half. My daughter wears size 13 or size 1 depending on the shoe. With these shoes she fit into a size 12 with plenty room to spare. She has been using her first pair for over 6 months and with a little cleaning they look brand new. We have since then ordered two more pairs for future use. The heels flash but battery goes dead after five months but otherwise a great pair of shoes.
