Cheap Quality for the Price (Better Deal from Danskin at Walmart)
NOT AS ADVERTISED!!!
Fabric content is not as advertised. See my photo!!!
I was hoping these would be the same quality I got with Danskin products. Unfortunately they are thinner. Stitching seems okay, and the fabric is not horrible, but they are for warmer weather, and cannot really be worn out much in winter if you want some go-to daytime errand pants, or plan to use them for outdoor walks and such in cold weather. The deal Walmart has for the Danskin Now Dri-More Bootcut Pants, which is 2 pairs for ~$20 to $24 (depending on sales), or $10 to $12 per pair--HALF the price I paid for these Spalding pants--obviously puts these to shame. I bought these only because Danskin doesn't make bootcut in charcoal (only straight leg). The fact that the Danskin pants are heavier quality and cost half as much makes me really disappointed in what I got for the money with Spalding. These are on par with the fitness wear brand Kmart uses, Everlast, but Kmart gaves me $10 in bonus money toward my purchase, so I paid $8.99 for chracoal bootleg yoga pants from Everlast with them, and they were very comparable quality.
These also fit more tightly than the Danskin products, which is fine if you are in your 20s or younger, but not if you're trying to look like a mom. A little too sexy-fitted for the mom look; this is not to say I don't go for the attractive mom look, just not trying to have stuff so tight anymore, not appropriate with kids. Somehow the Danskin version manages to be fitted while not clinging to you like the Spalding. It is both the cut cinching in more at thigh for the Spalding, and the fact that I bought the same size in each, but the Danskin run a little bigger than the Spalding, so the Spalding are clingier cut and smaller, thus the "booty pants" look, which is not very mommish.
