Bought these for my 8 year old son. He really likes the looks of these hiking boots and he tells me they are comfortable and lite weight. All his other shoes are size 4 to 5 so I ordered the 5 and it appears that he has about half an inch spare room to grow. I put a double knot in the bow when tying his shoe lace so he's not tripping over the laces. Price was good and the shipping was fast and on time. I bought the Smokey taupe/golden haze boot and this seems to be an excellent color to go with jeans, khaki's, camo pants, chinos..he thinks the compliments from his buddies is Kewl!
