I ordered these for my son hoping that they would just get through this year. However, they surprised me with durability and he was extremely comfortable in them. (He a big 12 year old) my son would usually wear a medium mens shirt and a 31/30 pant. 7 shoe. These fit him very well so guys keep that in mind. Of course he had a tiny bit of baggie but he could not have gone any smaller in the waist. So Id say no bigger than 32 waist for the size 8 boot. I agree with others that long term water use and he tending to feel damp in the legs, but I really thing its due to sweat. They are pretty warm. All in all, for the money I recommend them. They survived him sliding on rocks, etc! Worth it!!!
Good quality
