These are very sturdy khaki uniform pants. They have reinforcements inside the knees. They are rather narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, so they are certainly not trendy or cool, but my 3 yr old doesn't care. One advantage of the narrow ankle is that they stay up above his shoes and don't drag in the dirt (they are a bit long for him right now).

The elastic waist is ideal for those children who have to wear uniform pants but are still potty-training, or those who have difficulty with snaps or buttons.
