My kid is a solid 9.5, so we purchased a 10. They are a little too big obviously- but I don't have a problem with this because as previous reviewers have stated, they are very comfortable shoes. She's worn them all day, with no problems, and these are definitely her favorites right now. No regrets, would purchase again.I bought these for my five year old daughter for a school program, she was the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz. These shoes are really cute, but I wouldn't count on them to be durable for a child to wear for any length of time. They started shedding glitter almost immediately, the material is a delicate faux suede. They do run large and wide.Appeared well padded and nicely made. However, had to return due to 1- 2 sizes bigger.I ordered one size smaller as directed per other reviews, they did not fit, had to return. I say its,TRUE TO SIZE. These shoes are adorable and comfortable. Purchased Silver.Beautiful, well made and seemingly comfortable little shoes. My daughter (who is 2) loves them and didn't want to take them off. Worn all day as a flower girl. Durable too...no evidence of wear and she is hard on shoes.If you want this shoe in the description, DON'T order these.Super cute and fit perfectly! My daughter loved the shoes since day one and the shoes never left any sore marks on her heel:)I ordered these shoes for my daughter to attend a wedding. They are true to size and oh so cute!
