Comfortable for every day wear: order two sizes to find the right fit.
This fall my four-year-old asked for a pair of pretty shoes for the first time. We headed to the department store and bought her a cute pair of black patent Mary Janes with a faux buckle that attached with a thin strip of velcro. She loved them — and they literally lasted one day before the velcro died! So I turned to the internet to find an old-fashioned pair of little girl shoes that fastened with a real buckle.I found these. My daughter had just grown from size 11C sneakers to size 12C (with room to grow, of course). Not sure from the reviews what size to order I ordered the Mary Jane shoe and the T-strap shoes both in sizes 11C and 12C. Both sizes 12C she walked right out of, and the 11C T-strap seemed to hold her foot less well and her heel slipped as she walked. The Mary Jane 11C fit just right with socks, buckled to the tightest hole and she still has a little room to grow in the toes. The patent leather is beautiful and looks pretty with all her dresses. The free return of the pairs that didn't fit was completely painless and it was probably the best shoe shopping experience to be had with a four-year-old. I'd definately recommend everyone order two sizes to find the right fit on your little girl.These shoes are not just for church on Sundays! My daughter wears her pretty shoes practically every day (even if it's just around the house on a rainy or snowy day). Two-months on, she's learned to buckle them herself. On clear days she skips and runs in them without tripping and will happily walk a mile in and back from town with them on her feet. These are a wonderful purchase for an active little girl who loves pretty shoes and pretty dresses. I'll be buying a replacement pair every time her feet grow!

Cute, versatile, true to size!
I ordered both the silver and gold glitter flats. The colors are true silver and gold (not the bright yellow gold or dull brown gold).My daughter is at about 8.5 (8 works in some brands 8, 9 in others). Since many of the reviews suggested these run big, I decided to order the 8. My opinion is that they’re true to size and a medium/normal bwidth. I doubt these would be comfortable for a child with wide feet.The shoes are supper cute. Dressy but can be used casually with a cute shirt, jeans or a skirt. The have a soft insole for comfort and the velcro seemed durable, not like it would stop hooking together in just a few months. Because of the strap, parents can get away with ordering these a half (maybe even a whole, but could be pushing it) size up without worrying about them sliding off.Since she didn’t get a chance to wear these out, I can’t speak too much on the durability. But I will say they seemed of quality. No glue residue on the sole, no crazy amount of glitter falling off the shoes, priced fairly. Definitely recommend.

True to size, easy on and off
I bought two sizes in these for my 4 year old who just moved into a size 13 this fall, I bought a 12 and 13 to compare based on other reviews. In my experience they fit true to size, possibly a little small. The 13 fit my daughter great, but do seem possibly a hair smaller than some other brands. The width is more narrow than some, which was good for us. If your child is close to moving out of their current size I wouldn’t be afraid to size up. My daughter doesn’t have a lot of extra space in these, but if she had more they might slip on her heel.I want to note that there is a small piece of elastic below the buckle which means you likely don’t need to unhook them to put them on each time, which is nice!The only other thing to mention is that the sole of these was a bit warped so they don’t sit flat.. part of the heel doesn’t touch the floor, but hopefully this improves with use.We had a hard time finding a maryjane style shoe that wasn’t clunky looking and ballet flats don’t stay on my daughters narrow foot well. These are very cute!

Perfect Maryjane!✨
What an adorable pair of shoes. I got these for my niece for her production of the music man. Now she wears them everywhere. She wears them to school. She wears them to church, if she could, she would wear them to the park. They are a great quality, they look really nice, there is no shine, but they look like a nice leather shoe. I would recommend these, but they do run a little small, so maybe order two sizes to get the best fit.

Adorable and good quality
Adorable. It does not look cheap. Confortable too. It runs big. My girl is 13 and depends on the brand it runs small she is 1 on big kid. I ordered 1 and it was tight (my girl has wide feet)... i returned the 1 and ordered 2 for big kid and it is good for the wide, but about the length is like 2 sizes big. So, because these shoes are adorable will go back to ordered the first one and expected that it spandex while she uses it.

Blown out
Cute shoes but lasted less than one month of school before blowing out the bottom. Might be fine for occasional wear but not as a daily wear shoe.

Runs small
Runs small. My daughter uses size 13 and I bought a size 1 and it was too small.. literally I tried size 1 shoes and they are too big for her.. so this shoe runs very small
