I got these in a size 9. They are the cutest. The top part does scratch a little. Boot socks would be recommended. The hearts are sparkly and gold as pictured. A good quality product. So much so that my 2nd grader wants some. Wish they had a size 4. Her birthday is coming up and her feet exactly equal the length of a size 3, which would not be comfortable. We are a big feet family! So I guess, once my kids are in second grade, they graduate from Gymboree/Children’s Place shoes which is unfortunate.
