These Cherokee scrub pants are very comfortable. The elastic waist does not bind. The pants wash well and only need a light ironing. The only thing negative I could say is that these pants run large. I ordered my regular size and they fit, but I noticed that later in the day at work they began to loosen and appeared baggy. I've had this problem with jeans before, but never with scrub pants. If I order another pair I will order them in medium instead of large and hope for the best.
