Read the reviews given here and I still went wrong.  I measured my daughter's feet with a tape measurer, and her feet are at 5 1/2 inches.  According to the sizing chart given by Amazon, that puts her shoe size at street size 7.  Some of the reviews here mentioned that these shoes are comparable to street sizes and is a true fit.  I went with those reviews and ordered a size 7 and it was too small.  However it seems like it almost fit, just needs to be a bit bigger, so I decided to go only half size up and ordered a 7 1/2.  It was still too small!

I have Amazon Prime and I am so glad at this point that I do because both returns were free and both shoes arrived within 2 days.  However, by the time the 7 1/2 shoes arrived my daughter's dance class was going to start the next day.  We ran out of time. So I just ended up going to Payless and put the guess work behind.  Turns out she fits a size 8.  So take my advice and go ONE whole size bigger.  In the end it is better for the shoes to be slightly big in which your child can still grow into it than the shoes being too small that she can't even wear it.  However like some other reviews here mentioned, if this is your first time buying ballet slippers for your little girl, just go to a shoe store and find out what size will fit her first.  Take the guess work out.

4 stars for the shoes.  These shoes are actually cheaper than Payless at the time I'm shopping them.  Quality seems about the same although I would say the leather on the Capezio are a bit more supple.  I would buy again when my little girl outgrows her current one.
