I ordered these Danskos for my 11 y/o who will be wearing these shoes mostly for school.  She hates uniform shoes so we turned to Dansko.. she has a skinny foot and the Dansko is a little big.. so we've decided to put a shoe pad in for extra support.. the next size would be way too small..but she will be able to get use of these all year looking clean and classy!  I'm very pleased with my purchase and this only confirms my babygirl is growing up and following mommy's footsteps (literally) because I ordered me a pair too! :)
