I am a middle-age, plus size woman who has a hard time finding jeans that fit.  Low-rise jeans simply do not work for me.  I am not comfortable when I bend or squat, and then the lower rise  jeans reveal my muffin top and top of my bottom.  These jeans are great.  Comfortable, classic, good price.  I am also on the tall side but between medium and tall lengths.  So I was pleased that the medium inseam length was not too short for me.  The only reason I did not give these jeans 5 stars is because they run big.  Order a size smaller than you typically wear.  Previous reviewers had mentioned this and I should have followed their advice.  Will order more in a smaller size.
