Purchased these for a wedding, all grooms-kids wore them. The 4T does not have an adjustable waist, yet the 5 did. The 4T waist was HUGE that I had to keep the 5 for my boys so I could make them fit. The length on these pants is a little short imo. But the boys were hi-tops so that helped. I'm not sure it would have looked good with a regular dress shoe as everyone would have looked as if they were waiting on a flood.
