I purchased these shoes for my young granddaughter. (She's 6)  She tends to wear out inexpensive shoes rather quickly so I was willing to pay a little more for the quality of New Balance shoes.  I accidentally ordered a wide width shoe but when it arrived, it fit her regular size foot just fine.  I would order a half size larger if I were ordering again because they run a bit short.  Also, the elastic "tie" is a bit tight on the foot until it loosens up a bit with wear.  All in all, I am pleased with these shoes and will be ordering New Balance shoes again.
