I purchased these shoes in size 3 for my grand daughter and they fit comfortable and perfectly. She will be wearing them for Christmas. The shoes have a cloth covering with a satin sash going across the top. They go great with Christmas dresses. My grand daughter's dress is white with small black velvet dots and a velvet small over jacket with a great big red satin bow for around the waist. She loves the shoe and it is not loose around the ankle or front part of the shoe. I got these much more cheaper than at Dillards, which cost $45 and more including tax.
