Can't say I thought I'd ever buy expensive pants like these..BUT OMG they are worth it! I am saving up to buy another pair..maybe shorts this time as I run hot. People's feed back on sizing helps. I was at the end of small on sizing chart and upped to a medium and fits great! I also scrunch up the bottom just a tad to below knee. I am 5'6 and weigh about 150. I run a lot and am training for a half in April. I'll I run in are these now! I put them in delicate on my washer and hang dry.
