These are really great tights. I've had trouble finding tights to wear in winter. The thicker ones tend to be ugly, the thinner ones tend to rip and run easily. These look great and have not developed any runs after a couple of months of relatively frequent wear. And I've even messed up when doing laundry and washed them in hot water at high speed instead of cold water at low speed, and they're still fine! The colors are great - I have the navy and wine pair as well as two black pairs, and I love them all, although wine is my favorite (in this situation as well as more broadly in life). I hesitated because of the price, but buying these was more cost-effective than having to replace worn-out cheap tights every few months. Also, they keep my legs pretty warm.
