i've never owned a pair of character shoes before so i can't compare them to anything. but for my first pair, i imagine they're just right. they're comfortable. they look nice

what everyone is saying is true: order a half a size larger than your street size shoe. that's what i did and they fit just great.

also, like everyone is saying, they are slick! so be careful! i was slipping and sliding everywhere when i first put them on but it seems they have roughened up nicely

great pair of shoes
