These shoes are adorable and well made. Our daughter loves them and wears them every day to school. They have gotten quite a work out on the playground and still look great -- the glitter doesn't fall off and the soles seem really solid. We measured our daughter's foot before purchasing and, using the measurements on the Hanna Andersson website, bought a half size larger than her normal size. They fit perfectly. I would highly recommend to anyone whose active kid likes a little sparkle!
