Medium fits a slim/medium 8 year old who weighs 63 pounds and is approximately 53 inches tall. If your child has larger calves, consider the Medium Plus option of this or another brand if available. Going to a large size gives you more length than width and I don't think a weekly rider will stretch them much before they outgrow them. I treated her and her driven boots with Camp Dry to make them easier to clean.
