These should not be sold to boys.  They are advertised as unisex, but OMG they are the most narrow shoe I've ever seen.  Right out of the box I knew these were not going to work.  My son is almost 7, and wears a size 2 or 2.5.  I ordered them in a 2.5 since they are for fall soccer, and the length was good.  He had plenty of room in the toe to grow a little bit, but not too much.  The shoe looked almost deformed on his foot.  It didn't look normal.  If you are buying these for a girl with a narrow foot, you might be OK.  The color is an orangey coral, and not red.  I thought they looked a little more red in the photo.  My son loved the color even though they weren't really a true red.  I agree.....the color is actually really cool.  Unfortunately, we can't keep these.  I played soccer for 13 years, and please trust me.  These are not a good fit unless you have a really really narrow foot.
