Like another posting, I found this shoe ran small.  I originally ordered a size 3, (which my 6-yr old son wears in Merrell brand slip-ons)  so I assumed it would be the same for Teva.  Well, they were too tight and I returned them for a size 4.  So, I would go at least 1/2 to 1 full size larger than you would normally get.

I would have rated them even higher, but my only negative comment would be these shoes are bit heavier than I expected, although this doesn't seem to bother my son (so far).

They do seem to be well-made and rugged, able to withstand the hard-use by a 6-yr old boy.  We'll see - we've only had them a few weeks.  I'm hoping these last for 8 months+, and I think they will.

I do like the slip-on style and the fact they have a simple lacing system which just requires you to pull to tighten.  Easy for kids to tighten, and they never come undone!
