These shoes are adorable, lightweight, and so far my daughter says are very comfortable!  It remains to be seen how well they hold up to the rigors of an active summer at camp, but I was willing to spend more on great shoes based on other reviews and recommendations from friends.  I found they were true to size, maybe slightly on the big side.  My daughter usually wears between 11-12 and we ordered the 12.  It could be a little tighter, but I am worried that an 11 would be too small.  The 12 is working fine!
