It's been so long since I had to buy sneakers for DS, I can't remember how big they were when I first bought them. I always buy them big, but this time around I ordered a couple different brands, so they fit differently. He currently wears a size 6.5 New Balance, but I ordered Geox and Tsuyasomethingorothers (I have no idea how to spell it, OR how to say it) in a 23/7 and they are a bit big. I want them to be big so he has room to grow, but if they slip off his heel a little, is that way too big? I can't remember which ones were doing that, but I think it was the "Ts." I have a pair of New Balance coming too, but surprisingly both my mom and my DH loved the Geox, so I might keep those. It'll be fun to have something different.

If they slip, they are too big. I generally try to make sure there is a thumbs width beween their big toe and the end of the shoe. If there is much more, slipping will happen and they get blisters. Owie!
