I just picked these up for my daughter for softball, and thankfully I decided to size up a little. I typically wear a Women's Size 7.5, and she usually wears a Women's Size 7 (ll years old). I decided to order them in a size 7.5, since I had heard that some cleats run a bit small. Thankfully I did. As soon as they arrived, I tried them on myself and found them just a bit too small (and I didn't even have socks on at the time), so they were just the right size on her. So I would suggest going up about a half size from your typical casual shoe size. I am a sold 7.5 in just about every brand, and I would definitely need these in an 8 for them to be comfortable enough to run in.

The black on the shoe is a mix of matte color black and a bit of glossy color black. The toe bed on the front has a soft breathable upper, with the same material also along the sides. This keeps feet cool in warm weather, but you wouldn't want to drop a bat on your foot or you'll definitely be feeling it. The cleats look a little more feminine in person than in the online photo. The tongue on the front is plush a cushioned, with a loop for the shoelaces to go through, to keep it from slipping down while wearing them. So far my daughter loves them, and says they are far more comfortable than her other pair of Mizuno Softball cleats she was using.
