These are nice and sparkly, true to size, and comfortable shoes. My 11 year-old daughter often complains of shoes being too stiff or uncomfortable on the back of the heel, she wore these with lace socks for about 8 hours and did not complain at all. The construction of the shoe is very nice, the only thing I would point out is that the foam support inside the bows was showing a bit. But overall, very satisfied.
I wasn’t sure how these shoes ran. I purchased these in sizes 12, 13, and size 1. My daughter wears a size 12 in other shoe brands and my niece wears size 1 in most other brands. An example is -TCP shoes size 13 don’t fit her. Size 1 was big on my niece, I was glad we had the size 13 for her. She even has room in them. My daughter’s size 12 shoes in these were too big as well. She needs a size 11. At this point we’ll just save them for her. We had to find different gold shoes for her to wear. I also was trying to figure out if the bow foam was supposed to come out or stay in the shoes.
