These are so, soo soft and have a squishy feeling type of comfy from the start! The design is not my favorite (thus the minus a star) as the side tiny pocket  is unusable as it is so small and the ankles are very narrow so it is quite a struggle for my size 9 1/2 feet to get through them and the waist band stretches out by the end of the day which can be good (for eating a bigger dinner comfortably, aka "eating pants") or bad, depending on your preferences.
