Sorry, but yet another AG Nikki question

Elizabeth P

Several times I've been about to cut the tags off these, and I stop. So I figure... if any of you have any more patience with me, may as well ask for your opinions, yet again!

Do these look tight on my calves? They are definitely a bit snug when I first put them on, but then they seem to relax, and I don't even feel them. But I don't want them to look snug. Nor do I want them to look like they have baggy knees, because they aren't falling as well as they might on someone with skinnier calves.

Can you give me your honest two cents?

There does seem like something a bit off with the fit to me. Can they sit lower on your hips? There's some weird pulling going on, like the rise is too short for you.

Also - at least for me - this kind of hesitating almost always means I should return. The only time it doesn't is when it's a big-ticket item for me.

Mine get hung up on my calves sometimes too, and it does bug me. I think mine are tighter on the calves than yours though, because mine actually create a crease at the knee. As you can see in the picture below, it makes it look like my knees are bent, when in fact, I'm standing up straight. Long story short...I still like and wear them, but I do have several "ugh..." moments throughout the day.

Um, I think most of my jeans do this on me, at least when I first put them on. An hour or so of movement and they generally ease up. I just attribute it to, let's call them, runner's calves.

But you need to be comfortable!

Thanks Carter, that's good to know. I like everything else about them - another 1/2" in the calf would be perfect. I don't see it much in your photo, nor in mine really, maybe it's one of those things one feels more than others notice.
