I first bought these for my 9 year old but because she couldn't walk her thighs were quite bulging and they just wouldn't go through. I then asked my 11 year old to try them on as she is small. She also has strong thighs, but she was able to pull them on. She said they feel tight in the hips and that's why the back waistband is too low. They appear to be very durable, especially for leggings, and look nice, but aren't very stretchy. So I would recommend them to girls who have slightly thinner thighs than me. I'm sure they would fit perfectly then. 1 star is terrible! I want my money back! 2 stars - bad but not terrible 3 stars - decent / good 4 stars - very good! 5 stars - great! definitely recommend!
