After reading reviews, everyone was saying the fit was precise. No need to upsize or downsize. My daughter is only 5'2, age 17 and proportionate weight with height. She's a little thing. I got her the size 7 1/2 first and they didn't fit her. Had to upsize. I had no problems getting the shoe again in the new size though. She loves them and we're quite happy with the packaging and the shoe design in itself. Very good craftsmanship.
