I bought this thinking it might be big for my 11 year old daughter, but it turn out just right, maybe even slightly tight. She normally wears a size 3, and the other size 4s I have for her, she 'flaps' in! So, I would advise to get a half size up, and the Wide fitting really doesn't feel that way at all. On the whole, I am rather disappointed with New Balance for kids - I love their adults shoes, but the kids fitting and quality are not nearly as good.
