I loved these tights for my 7 year old - they are soft and warm and beautiful. However. The foot part is not at all reinforced and her toes tore through on the 3rd day on both sides (this is the correct size tights). I patched them and gave her thin socks to wear under. Two days later she came back with another toe hole and a huge heel hole. She was wearing these with normal shoes/boots. This is really a shame because the leg part is perfect but the thin foot fabric made them unusable in 5 -7wears.
