I went by the REI sizing chart on the page and it does not seem to be accurate. I purchased the size L for my eight year old - normally about a 2.5-3 in shoes and they barely fit. I'm sure they'll shrink up a bit in the wash due to the material so I'm worried these will just be a hand-me-down before he's even gotten any use out of them. They do have nice padding on the bottoms and he likes the stripe.
Very happy with my purchase of these socks for my son. Bought the XS and he is in size 10T footwear and they fit great.
