My wife was looking for pants that were comfortable, would provide shape control, and that she could get away with wearing to work instead of her normal skirt suits.  She stopped wearing the high heels in favor of more comfortable shoes, and needed pants that looked dressy enough that no one would question at our law office when worn with a suit jacket.  She tried several, but these are the best.  She is 5'6, and the length is great (I saw another review, and I know someone else complained, but I am not sure what their weight is - my wife weighs about 135 pounds and these are long enough to wear a low heel - and so you know, with that height and weight she bought a medium, but if you weigh much more, you would probably need a large).  The pants are a shiny black material and they look dressy.  My wife claims that they are very comfortable.  One day last week she was wearing the pants, a white miraclebody blouse and a black suit blazer.  I asked her "why are you so dressed up today?"  and she laughed at me and said that these were the comfortable pants she bought on Amazon, along with a miraclebody shirt.  Apparently mission accomplished.

Based on the comments I have seen recently, I will note that my wife has a short pair (31) and a long pair (34).  The short pair works perfectly on her 5'6 frame with flat shoes; the long pair (34) works perfectly on 5'6 frame with heels.  If you look at the description, they will be regular (31) or long (34).  Make sure to order the correct length for your height.
