Every child deserves a pair ( or two ) of these!
My daughter just turned 11. She has a small foot. Right now she is between the sizes. For most sneakers size 1 is too small, while 2 is too large, and makes it uncomfortable to walk. She also has some type of a flat foot, when she walks her feet turn inward a lot. She has shoe inserts, and those who do will understand that it is not easy to walk with inserts all day long...I got size 2 for her, there is room to grow but it's still very comfortable to walk ( and run ) around. My daughter has never wore a pair of shoes ( sneakers, sandals, water shoes, even Crocs) without socks. It either gives her blisters or are just very uncomfortable. But with these barefoot... wow... She loves them, and refused to take them off all day. So I just ordered another pair in different color. I do see that her feet are more inward then I would like them to be, but it's not as noticeable as with the harder shoes. What is important is that ky daughter feels good, and finally is running around happy, and enjoying the summer just like she should.There is one thing I wanted to mention. Like I said before, my daughter used to wear socks with every type of footwear, so obviously, I was inspecting them stich by stich... looks like they are melted, not sawn at times... so, took me exactly 2 seconds to notice that there were many spikes all around on the inside... I almost just sent them back... but then I took a pair of scissors, and cut them all off... I was careful, nothing is coming apart after my "trimming ", and they now are super soft, and my daughter can enjoy wearing shoes barefoot for the first time...
