I guess with most skinny jeans, you expect them to be uncomfortable. These jeans are a tad stiff, but I'm hoping that will change with wear and washes. They are really flattering due to the seams. The front seam near the knee is a little 'industrial' which I really like. These pants scream, I'm sexy and modern, but I could be from the future. They would have gotten 5 stars from me if they were a little more comfortable to wear. Beauty is pain people.
