These boots are true to size and from the exact same mold as the kidorable space boots. I DO not think they are worth 10.00 on average more for this reason. Of course they are not as spectacular as Hunters which is why the latter are over twice the price but they are a VERY nice alternative. They are recommended for fit, nice not too narrow width and cute. All Hunters, Kamik and Kidorables do not have that gassy smell like Sperry and Melissa and Doug do.
