As my title says; you are small I use them in my mowing shop and they hold up well but don't stretch or break. They are just as tight and just as inflexible as the day I received them. I held them past the return date thinking they would loosen up but they didn't and I made them run, climb, squat, bend a lot. Anything to relax you. I bought my normal size but I would recommend going up a half size and maybe even a larger width because they don't hang around my feet. The soles wear well and have excellent traction. In addition, they are light and breathable.
