These shorts are a good news bad news thing. The bad: deceptive photography strikes again. Every photo that you see of these shorts show a slim leg, not tight but also not baggy. In actuality the legs are very very wide. And my thighs are NOT skinny. I'd hate to think how dorky they would look on someone with a truly slim leg.

The good: other than the ridiculously wide legs, it's a nice pair of shorts. The fabric is fairly heavy-duty and laundered wonderfully. I'll bet they will wear like iron. They seem to be well made, and have pockets! The waistband is totally comfy, they pull on nicely, and I like the longer length. I generally wear a size 12 in pants but ordered these in a 14 to accommodate my oversized belly and they fit great.

I am keeping them, only because (a) I don't think a smaller size would address the wide legs issue, and (b) I can use them for my daily walking regimen, so I don't care too much how they look.
