These are a nice looking pair of shoes with a price that is great and my son was very excited about them. As far as sizing goes however, the length was an accurate fit.  The problem was with the width. My son has an average width foot and these shoes run very narrow.  He didn't even have them on for 30 seconds before he said they were squashing his foot. We were both disappointed to have to return them.  If your child has a more narrow foot, these shoes would be a great choice.
