I got these for my 8 yr old daughter. She normally wears a 2 in most sneakers right now so I decided to go a size up, in case they ran small, and also to maybe get a few years out of them. I do think they are true to size and she does have extra room in the toes, which is fine, and she seems to like them and says they are comfortable. They have an inner lining from top to bottom which I like, I think this helps keep feet warm. They are also very cute with the fur trim however with her snow pants over it you don't really see it.
