I bought the patent black in 24 EU 7-7.5 M US. I suppose they do run a little small but also a little wider than some of her others. My daughter's foot is on the chubby end of regular, but not enough to need a wide shoe. She also is between sizes. A 6.5 is too small but some of her size 7 are too big. These are perfect for this in-between stage.

The style is really pretty and could work with both dressy and semi-casual clothing. I bought these to match some of her skirts and dresses, but she also has some pants these would be cute with. Since the sole comes up to the top of the shoe that helps it look a bit more casual I think. The T-Strap style is vintage inspired and could work with other vintage-inspired clothing. I may buy the white ones in a larger size for her Easter dress.

The insole is very soft and cushioned really well. A lot of these kid's shoes are super thin and flimsy but these feel like they have a good amount of support. Both sides of the T-Strap velcro down, no buckles or snaps to fiddle with. So far they haven't come undone while walking or playing. The sole seems to grip the ground well enough to keep her from slipping while walking even on rainy days, which is really important to me since my daughter likes to run, and practice going up and down stairs. (As in, a long flight of concrete and steel stairs in an apartment building)

As for the smell mentioned in some other reviews, thankfully mine don't have it. I don't know if I got lucky or if other people got a bad bunch? I am really sensitive to smells so if they'd had any kind of scent I would definitely have noticed.

Overall, a great price for a great pair of shoes. We are loving them so far!
