Maybe I'll take DS to get his feet measured this weekend or I'll attempt it on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-they-only-have-whole-sizes#post-2482785 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 10:26:39 +0000 mrskc 2482785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I like to size up, but depends on the shoe. Those brands run big IMO tho. I just got my DD some Saltwaters off the classifieds. The 5s fit her a little big and she's wearing 6s in other shoes. natives also run a little big. I tried to size up for those last summer for DS and the size up was just way too big so I returned and got his regular size.</p> <p>Maybe buy on Amazon both sizes and return one or return both and look for used in the size you need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-they-only-have-whole-sizes#post-2482745 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 10:06:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2482745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh this is what I hate! I'm terrified to buy anything for summer b/c I have no idea when DD will grow out of her size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-they-only-have-whole-sizes#post-2482683 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:43:41 +0000 yin 2482683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Size up. Also might take into consideration how long they have been in that size. LO1 stayed in a size 6 for a month. LO2 has been in a size 6 for the past 6 months. I would hope a size 7 fits by summer, but he might still be in a 6 at this rate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-they-only-have-whole-sizes#post-2482618 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:23:59 +0000 catlady 2482618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always buy up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-they-only-have-whole-sizes#post-2482597 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:14:27 +0000 jape14 2482597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about the general question of sizing up vs. down, but Saltwaters tend to run pretty big so I'd probably get a 6 in those. Jack's in a 5.5 right now and his natives for the spring/summer are a 6, but I'm guessing he may need a second pair toward the end of the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-they-only-have-whole-sizes#post-2482572 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:57:50 +0000 brownepiano 2482572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your kid is fitting 6 but it's tight, or perfect, I'd go for 7 for the summer. If they are just starting to fit 6, then stay with 6. The other question I'd ask (and I don't know the answer) is whether those shoes run big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-they-only-have-whole-sizes#post-2482534 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:32:14 +0000 LBee 2482534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you size up or down if your kid is currently in between sizes? </p> <p>We are in size 6 right now, but I'm itching to buy some Saltwater Sandals and Natives for the summer. Trying to decide between size 6 and size 7. </p> <p>First world problems.</p> <p>Multiple votes as wondering what you do in general and selfishly want to crowdsource what I should do. </p>
