Bought for my 6 year old granddaughter who I was told is very tall for her age but very thin so I chose a size 7/8 and they fit her perfectly with little room for growth. all routes. Already used in gym class and very happy, she said they don't lift her ass (so no need to pick), the color is spot on and loves how shiny they are, very comfortable for a very picky kid with stitching and material. Very happy with the purchase and plan to buy again
