Despite what you have read about ordering a size down for Tsukihoshi shoes...DON'T.  These specific shoes fit true to size, and are probably more skinny than other styles.  They are super light weight and both my daughter and niece feel like they can "run fast" in them.  They seem comfortable, but I don't think I would recommend them for any toddler with wide feet.  If you have thin or normal width, these are great.  I also love that they have no laces to worry about.
