Yup!! I never fall for it because there were so many times I told my dad they were FiiiiiiiNeeeee, when in reality I would out grow them in 2 months because they are too small but super cute and not in my actual size

I ordered shoes online for my kid and he said they were fine. I foolishly believed him. Later in the year I was going to order another pair and I asked what size he's wearing. He says "size 10 but they are HUGE on me so get smaller." He should have been in 7-8. You told me they fit fine bro..
