Laura (Toddler/Little Kid)

Ordered these a half size smaller for my granddaughter as instructed by Zappos, however, these run true to size so I am returning them for the next size. They are beautifully made classic Mary Janes.

My granddaughter loves these. Be advised: they have an old-fashioned buckle, not Velcro, so expect to help a pre-schooler.

I bought these for my daughter. She has narrow feet and wears orthotic inserts. The insoles are removable and the shoes worked wonderfully with her inserts. They were more narrow than average, too, which was perfect for her.

The leather was good quality, but unfortunately, these will be going back. The width just didn't accommodate my granddaughter's high instep. Her feet aren't necessarily wide, but her instep requires a wide size. I switched out the insole for the thinner choice, but it just didn't make that big of a difference. I loved that they were real leather and had metal buckles instead of hook and loop closures. Velcro makes it easier for a 2 year old to put the shoes on, but it also snags tights terribly. Stride Rite had a wide patent shoe that was adorable.

This is a wonderful shoe. The leather is soft enough that they were immediately comfortable and sturdy enough to support the foot. Lovely shoe.
