My 7 year old wanted ballet slippers with the ribbon.  These were the second pair I ordered.  The first pair was too large in the heal.  She wears a 2-2.5 and the 2.5 fit perfect.  Nice snug fit around the ankle and she has a pretty narrow foot.  I figured these would be for play and she would continue wearing her leather ballet shoes for class, however, these had nice soles and could be worn for class as well.
