I purchased these for my granddaughter because she had a pair last year and loved them. I purchased 3 other pairs of shoes for also...2 pairs of flip flops and a pair of sandals. My daughter told me all of them have to be returned because of the sizing. My 7 year old granddaughter wears a size 4 shoe. Amazon's sizing is difficult to understand. To my understanding age 7 is a little kid. The sizing went 11,12,13 and then 1,2,3,4, etc. I chose size 4. The shoes that came were for a toddler. The flip flops, I ordered size 4. The ones that came were smaller than the size 3 I purchased for her last year (from another online vendor) although labeled a size 4. The sandals were the same. I have ordered several items from Amazon (not shoes) and never had this problem before. I will not be ordering any more shoes.
