The shoes looked great and my daughter was very excited when she saw them.  However, she had difficulty putting them on.  She is in 2nd grade, FYI.  She also said they felt uncomfortable and that was that. I felt the toe and the length was correct.  I'm not sure where the discomfort was.  She has been asking for a pair of these, so I know she wasn't making it up. I'm sorry these didn't work for us.
