I bought these for myself but they were a big snug.  Luckily, a friend saw them and said if I didn't want them, she would buy them from me.  I sold them to her and reordered an 8 for me.  We both liked the color and that it wasn't a low rise.  Low rise is for women who have never had kids.  I can never wear a low rise without getting a muffin top.  These were mid rise and were good.  Another inch on the rise would have been perfect and would have rated a 5 star.  These look great with boots!
