I ordered these chunky Mary Jane's for my daughter in a size 5. She usually wears a women's size 5.5 but has a hard time finding shoes that don't start at a size 6. She said these fit so I would say they probably run a just little bit big because size 5 are usually too small and she swims in a size 6.
The reason I ordered them is because to me, these scream 90s and brought back fond memories of my wardrobe in high school. I would have worn these with a babydoll dress, a strappy maxi dress, or even a band Tshirt with some cutoffs and tights. I've noticed my daughter has picked up some clothes similar to that, so I couldn't resist adding the shoes too.
She has said they are very comfortable and she was surprised that they actually have some support because in her experience, kid's shoes tend to skimp out on it. They are a little heavy but not Doc's-Mary-Jane's heavy. lol They are definitely non-slip which is a must. My daughter is a gymnast and while she can tuck on the 4" beam, flat ground is a challenge (if your daughter is a gymnast, you probably know what I mean! lol). These shoes have a "heel" but not enough that I would be concerned she'll break her ankle in. It's maybe 3/4-1" at max.
