I have black luluroe leggings and love them. They are my favorite but they are wearing out after a year of almost non stop use. They are also expensive for our one income family. So I was on the search for something else. These feel the same, exactly the same. The fit, however, is not the same. I don't think I like this waistband. The  The concept of the higher waistband sounded really good but in practice, they are constantly falling down.  Walking around the house is fine but going for a walk is out of the question with these pants. I will definitely keep these and I would definitely order the regular waist band ones again.
