Question on Crocs & kids sizing - (sorry, I know, ANOTHER crocs thread)

[kimisabella]

I just need some help here, my dd6 usually wears either a size 13 1/2 or size 1 shoe. What have your experiences been with the fit of kids crocs? Should I say with the smaller size, or get the larger size? Right now, she is more towards the size 1, but I heard the crocs run very large. I have a pair of athens and they were pretty true to size. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

My DS has a pair of size 12's and the shoes he has been wearing to school since winter are 12 1/2's summer sneaks will probably be a 13. he has a narrow foot if that matters but I think they run big. In the ladies they do because my DD who has 4 pairs are all 7's and the leather sandals she just bought were 7 1/2 and she has very wide feet.

My DS wears a 12 or 13 in runners (sneakers) in US sizes. I ordered the size 13s and they just fit (not overly roomy but don't seem too small either). I have ordered a second pair for him in a size 1 to try.
As I understand it (according to the Crocs website), the kid's sizes are Caymans which run more true to your actual shoe size. That seems to be the case with the ones we received. I would go with the size 1.
I also ordered Beach in adult M for my DD and myself (in Navy and Turquoise). Her turquoise(M) pair is noticeably larger than my navy (M) pair! Mine feel fine but hers are too loose.
I re-ordered the turquoise in a small for her, and added a pair of lime green size 1s for DS as he loved his first pair, and can always grow into the size 1.
Now for the strange part, my DH who laughed at my clown shoes is keeping the larger turquoise pair (which is more of a pretty aqua green than turquoise)for around the house, and had me order him a chocolate pair in medium!
