I am 5'10" and it's hard to find leggings that will stay where I want them to. The stirrup legging idea is what I've been needing. However, the other reviewers are right - they don't fit around the heel/ankle like they should, which causes them to look slightly weird. All in all, I'm pleased with the purchase because I've been dying to wear my new wedge sneakers without my leggings riding up, so mission accomplished. Fit is true to size. I'm size 16 and pretty tall and the 2X fit good - except for the weird stirrup design which is minor.
