MSR recommends these shoes be used by children (or adults) that weigh up to 90 lbs. According to MSR, these snowshoes will fit foot sizes from size 7.5 to 13.5 (adults from 1 to 4.5). The thing that makes these so great for kids is that they are easy to get on and once on (if properly secured), won't need to be readjusted or messed with. They track very well and the kids soon don't even notice they are on their feet. This is in contrast to the 'toy' type shoes that mimic 'paw-prints' etc. Paw-Print-type shoes use cheaper plastics, aren't as secure, and are too wide as the child will be constantly stepping on them. The Tykers are much narrower and thus allow the child to run, change directions, and, with the incredible traction for a kids shoe, climb just about anything.
