My daughter is currently wearing a size 13.5 shoe, sometimes a 1.  So when I read the reviews stating that this shoe ran small I decided to get a size 1, but after some extra thought I figured I should up it another half size so that she has some room to grow since she needs them for 10 months of dance classes. I should have just gotten the size 1. There was an extra 3/4 of an inch of extra space. Not sure if her foot will grow that much during the year, but I'll keep it anyway as the closure on the shoe is velcro and fastens the shoe pretty tightly to the foot so I don't have to worry about it flying off her foot.  These shoes are definitely true to size, but will probably not fit a child with a wide front of the foot. But they are in no way narrow.  Just a standard sized shoe.  Overall, very nice shoes and great quality.
