My toddler dislikes wearing tights because they are too slippery without her shoes (all her socks have grips) so I was so pleased to find tights that have the grippy dots. The only issue is that she's not going to want to wear her other tights. They have some heft but are not too thick to wear on a mild summer day, they'll be especially great for the spring and fall. But they may not be thick enough for winter if yours are bitter cold like they are here. The sizing is accurate. They are stretchy but sturdy, good for my rough and tumble girl. They look like the photos. We are happy with them.
