text: Ordered for 9 year old daughter.  She loves look and colors of shoe. They do run smaller than normal sizes.  Had to order a 1/2 size larger than usual and still they could have been a tad larger, however the next size 1/2 size would have been too big. They are narrow, too.  She's a normal to very slightly wide foot.  She says their tight on sides, but not horrible.  We had this issue with a pair of Asics, but they stretched and we assume these will, too.  Could also just be that it's the feel of a new shoe and not the old stretched out comfortable shoes she's been wearing.  she's not one for discomfort so I wouldn't stress too much about width.
