These are cute shoes and my son really wanted them. So I ordered his size (13) for Christmas. I even measured his foot to make sure he was a 13 in DCs too. DC's sizing chart said he is a 13...the shoe was a whole size and a half too small. It was like I ordered an 11 1/2. Im so glad I made hime close his eyes and try them on. Had to send them back for a size 1, which is the next size up. Tried those on too, they will fit for a couple of months. I can't believe how small these shoes run. Order a size up, or you will have to return them and keep trying sizes.
