Nice shoes. Ordered a size up based on comments about the tight fit. Length and size are perfect. However, and this was a shame, the upper of the shoe was very tight at the bottom of the laces where the arch of the foot meets the knuckles of the toes, making it impossible for my daughter's foot to flex. without pain. For this reason we had to send the shoes back. Without this we would have a winner as these are really nice shoes and apart from this flaw they appear to be well made.
