Fantastic shorts, my son finds them really comfortable and I find them excellent value for money- only gripe is the colours they come in, only two of them are typical boys colours.

Comfortable, great feel and excellent value for money - my son loves wearing them. And they have pockets, so he can wander around in a typical slouchy teenage manner!

It is cotton rich but it is baggy in some places which makes it not that comfortable

A bit big round the waist.

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

Very large in the waist. Can be tied with the draw string but thats a bit inconvenient for an eight year old to do himself! Would prefer a smaller elasticated waist where the string isnt needed.

My 9 year old grand daughter loves it. She says irs very comfortable and she wears it all daylong. Love the colour and the texture. I recommend this product. Definitely buy a different colour. Thanks M&S for the lovely quality products.

Great quality but ordered the 9 to 10 and they were huge! Will keep them until my son grows into them through.

Good cotton, washes well.

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

These are a thicker cotton, very practical, good value and colour choices. The fit is quite loose and as reviews mention the waist ties disappear into the waist band so only 4 stars. I tied a knot in each side and sewed up the sides so it wouldn't pull through. Working well.
