I ordered a size 12.5 but received a size 32, which according to the size chart is a big kid size 1. My son normally wears a 12 in most shoes, so obviously these were huge on him. I should have received a 31 according to chart but they actually ended up fitting pretty true to size, so I think a 31 would have been too big as well.
I ordered another brand at the same time as these (Skoex) in a size 12, received a 30 and they fit great with a little room in the toe so they should last the whole season.
These shoes are great for church or occasions during warm months that are a little dressier. My complaint, besides sizing confusion, is they aren't packaged well. The shoes are squished together and put in a bag. No stuffing to help keep their shape, so leather material is wrinkled & creased.
