These fit great except for two very important places. The ankle hems and the waistband. I don't know why they ruined a great fit, because other than those two very small areas, the fit is perfect. It is especially surprising to me, as I have bought their top of the line cycling tights for women for years and they got the waistband and ankles perfect in those. In these, I had to stretch out the ankle hems as they were so damned tight compared to the rest of the leg and cut off circulation. Also, same with the waistband. SKINS, why oh why did you do this? Why do you have such a wonderful, comfortable wide stretchy waistband on your cycling tights, yet, put this skinny tight, blood constricting rubberband on top of these running tights? A real blunder there. This item of clothing definitely not up to usual SKINS quality. So, if I can stretch out the rubberband part of the waist at the top, as I have already stretched the ankles and NO I am NOT overweight I weigh 114 lbs at 5' 6 3/4" and I am fit then I will be able to wear these comfortably. They made the knee area perfectly in order to position kneecaps correctly and they do not slip on me, BUT the non-slippage is not because of the stupidly choking rubberband waistband. That is, SKINS didn't need to make the waistband ridiculously tight like that for any reason that I can see. Other folks had mentioned the special knee areas slid down off their knees when they ran. I am merely pointing out that I don't have that problem, and SKINS still could have achieved that knee positioning without making the top tight. So really, someone was asleep at the wheel.

These are comfortable but the compression isn't very strong. I was hoping for more. They are also pretty thin so I have to pull on a skirt over. They seem to be true to size. And I like they can be customized for body shape. Overall good.
