These leggings are more like jeans as the leg opening is more like straight leg or 'large' skinny leg. In other words, it doesn't hug your ankles like leggings usually do.  And they run small or they did at least for me.  I'm a curvy woman with a backside and they just fit funny.  If you don't have that issue, then these might work for you.  They also run small so anyway I already returned them.
