Bought for my son who is really between an 8 and 10 (why cant someone make odd sizes too?!)  The waist fits well with a belt but the legs, around the calf are just a bit slimmer than necessary...makes them hard to put on.  I think my son is rather ordinary atheltic 8-year old with muscular legs and slim hips and average height.  Its hard to find pants long enough for him that fit reasonably around the waist.  These do fit nicely around the waist, are long enough and because they are Levi's I expect good quality.  But the extra skinny legs would keep me from buying this type again.
