These ballet shoes are nice quality and my 3 and 4 year old girls seem to really like them.  I had to order a number of pairs to finally find the right fit.  They seem to run a bit wide to me.  The narrow sized worked well for my 3 year old.  The "lace" would never stay tied, no matter the knot I used.  Our dance teacher told us to use clear nail polish and it would keep the knot from untying.  I, however, decided to just clip it off and it hasn't affected the fit.
