I love these pants despite the bad reviews....

If you look closely at the picture you can tell the bottoms are loser than normal around the ankle which is why I bought them, the elastic on the one's I can find hurt my skin after a day of wear.

I'm 5'3 3/4 inches tall and am a size 10, if you have a tummy you might want to size up otherwise they might show more than you want since their snug.

I bought these in a medium size and they fit like a dream, I like that they don't sag in the butt like most sweat pants do they show it off.

If your concerned about the closed bottom being to big pair it with high tops problem solved...
