Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These leggings are made nicely & of good quality. They have a very soft fleece type lining in them. These pants do come up to your waist, definitely NOT ones with a lower rise. In my experience, they run a bit on the small side. I am 5ft 5in. tall & weigh 118-120 lbs. with slender legs. I ordered the size small and while I can get in them, they're just too tight for me to be comfortable. These leggings do have much more spandex in them than your basic leggings, I believe the tag said 13%, if I remember correctly. The additional spandex is what makes the difference in how they fit. I guess it depends on how tight things have to be before you're uncomfortable. I bought two pairs & the 2nd pair was even smaller than the 1st I tried on. Personally, while I welcome some extra spandex so they will maintain their shape & offer some shaping, the small was just too confining for my comfort level. So, I would suggest, especially, if you are in between sizes, to go with the larger size unless you prefer a much tighter fit. As a reference, I also bought the Baleaf "track" pants with the white stripe down the legs and zippers at the ankles in a size small and that style fits just perfectly & is very comfortable in the size small! Hope this helps some of you ladies with your sizing & purchases!
