I recommend ordering up one size. My son wears a boys size 3 in
Stride Rite sneakers so I ordered a size 4 in the
Teva Tanza and they fit great. My 7 year old said that they are comfortable and we both like the 3 adjustable straps. I have always had a challenge fitting my son's wide feet since he was a toddler and these fit great. I appreciate the airflow that the Tanza allows. My son's feet are stinky and any
shoes that are enclosed means foot odor! He can get in the river without having rocks or sand stuck in his
shoes but still gets enough protection from the inevitable piece of glass in the water. I specifically ordered these
shoes from Zappos because of the free return shipping. Plenty of
bricks and mortar stores around us carry the
Teva brand but not this particular style. I prefer for my son to try on
shoes before buying but if you cannot, I believe that Zappos is the next best thing and I am not getting paid to say that. Moms have to rely a lot on online reviews so I am just giving my 2 cents worth. My son requested the olive color and it is a nice neutral.
