Just got these in and my 9 year old loves them.  She wears a size 4 in sneakers and the size 4 KEENs fit her with just enough space for wiggle room....perfect.  Her feet are a little wide, so we needed no adjustment to tighten.  She walked around the house several times and said they were comfy also.  Great price on Amazon for a great shoe.  Only reason I knocked off a star is that her little toe seems to be getting stuck on the side through one of the openings; however she loves the shoe so much (her sandal sneakers she calls them) that she doesn't mind at all.
