My son wears a size 5 so I ordered a size 5 because previous reviews said it was true to size. The left boot was a little tight, but tolerable; but my son complained that the right boot didn't fit at all! I used the shoe stretcher a full week before the event but it still didn't fit. Must be sold to a child with a smaller shoe size. But the processing is great! this is a VERY well made shoe! It also arrived on time and in perfect condition!
