This is the 3rd pair of this style Saucony sneaker that my daughter has picked out.  She had pink in spring since purple was sold out, purple in the fall and wanted a new pair of purple.  The store we had been buying them at stopped selling them so Amazon it was and they did not disappoint.  My daughter saw purple AND leopard and was so excited she nearly jumped out of her skin.  She shows everyone her purple leopards and wears them almost daily.  This is a kid who only wore sneakers if prompted to before this pair.  Sizing tends to be a little big especially in the heal area but when I went down a 1/2 size in the fall I got burnt so just go with the typical size your child wears.  I should add that my daughter does have slim/narrow feet compared to other children her age.
