I ordered these for my 10-year old son who wears size 6 in athletic shoes.  When these arrived, we both loved the look and feel of the shoe.  His feet are slightly wider than normal and these were hard to get on without loosening the laces a lot.  Once on, he felt like they were just too tight and restrictive.  Maybe they would have stretched out over time, but we didn't want to take the chance.  These are great looking shoes but not made for kids with wide feet.  They are true to size otherwise.
