I read the reviews about the sizing being off.  I already knew to get a Wide from everything I read.  I even got a size up.  Man....I still had to jam in my daughter's foot into the shoe.  I'm returning to get another size up.  I want her to be able to put these on herself without any outside intervention.  They are very cute and the ribbons are a nice touch, but she won't be using them in class so the elastic closure works out well.
