text: We just love these shoes, but they run much too small. Since other reviewers said they ran small, I ordered a size 11 when 11s in other brands are way too big. However, they hurt my son's toes the first time he put them on. No biggie. I would just send them back and get the 12s. Uh!  Nope!  The size 11s were $28, but the size 12s were $40. Sorry, I'm not paying that kind off increase ($12) for one size difference. Also, $40 for a 5 year old who will typically grow out of his shoes before wearing them out? I don't think that's wise use of our money.
