My daughter loves these shoes and I like the stylish look. After reading other reviews, I ordered a full size up and I am glad I did. My daughter is in between 11 and 12 in size, depending on the brand and style and I ordered her 12.5. The fit is perfect. Enough room for comfy socks, but not enough room that they are loose when she wears them without socks. They will be a wardrobe staple going into the school year for her!Little boys and shoes usually have the same consequences like holes in the knees of their jeans. I ordered these shoes for September 2016 and by December 2016 they were pretty much worn out. Could be my child or the quality of the shoe. I am not willing to buy another pair to test that theory since his feet have grown to a 4.5 big boy now, and I found another pair a little bit cheaper I am trying out.Great while they lasted, and held up long enough for his feet to outgrow them.I asked my 10 year old to rate these since she's the one who wears them. She wanted to give them 4.5 stars. She said they're not quite perfect, but almost. I asked what isn't quite right and she said nothing, they're all good. Not too helpful, I know, but that's what the customer had to say. :)My 5 year old son loves these shoes. They are his first pair of lace-ups, so he is learning to tie his shoes. I like that it has long laces for teaching. Also, the blue color is bright! They do run a little small, we ordered a half size up and they fit great! I think they should last for quite a while.My 10 year old loves these shoes. She wears them daily. After 2 months of hard wear, they are starting to get holes. My same daughter had another pair of New Balance shoes that held up better, but she is so incredibly hard on shoes that two months is a fairly good run:)These shoes are actually for my 11 year old son. He started track and I wanted a designated shoe for sports. I spent many hours researching running shoes for boys. These were the best fit for his slightly wider foot. Almost all the top rated shoes were not recommended for a wider foot except for New Balance,at least from my research. The shoes are well made and light. We will see how they hold out during the season.My daughter says she likes her new shoes. She said she'd give them 4 stars because she feels they are a little snug when inserting her foot in the opening. Otherwise they look well constructed and fit as expected.I bought this shoe for my son and he loves it. It is very comfortable. Also we like the fact that we can take out the insert in the shoe and put his orthodix in it.My daughter loves it! Perfect fit and style.size required for little ones, had higherGood quality, Arrived quickly.Cute colour & design:)
