I was worried about order thigh highs online as most reviews say they don't even reach the knee! Based on these reviews I went with it. So what if I paid $5 more than the other listings... I'm 5'7 and fully extended without folding they reach my bum! but I like folding them to my liking. They're tight, but not so tight they're going to make your thighs buldge. This was a great buy. I'm not too afraid of winter now either because they'll be like my long johns!
