They are actually too big around the waist and too tight around the calves and ankles. And the spandex SUCKS! Unless you're skin and bone, they make you look like a sausage. They also fade really fast as well. It's virtually impossible to find any kind of women's pants that don't have at least a small amount of spandex. And everything has the 3" zipper, boot cut and thick waistband - don't know what's up with that. I can do without the "comfort" - I'll just buy a bigger size.
