These jeans are no more nor less comfortable than other stretchy, skinny jeans. You've seen the ad with the woman doing yoga wearing them? I suppose one could, but I would rather wear something softer and better fitted. I usually wear a size 4 jeans. I am a size 4 according to the Lee size chart. The 4 were too small for me. I do have a bit of a generous booty, but one of the reasons I like stretch jeans is because they usually accommodate that well. I returned the 4 and tried the 6. They were only okay. After all the hype, I was hoping I'd put them on and sigh, YES! But, alas, my reaction was more like, eh... I'll be returning the size 6 too. One feature I especially do not like about these is that since they're leggings and not proper jeans, you can get some unattractive bunching in the crotch area (you can see this on the model in the picture, actually). A benefit of the leggings, though, is that the waist is smooth and so you don't have the button flap interfering if you wear a fitted shirt over your jeans. All in all, I'd say these are only so-so, and I'm still seeking my true dream jeans.
