I got the docs today and sizing up was the right thing to do! They aren't too tight anymore and much more comfortable. They are a bit longer too, but not as much as I feared, so it worked out! I'm so happy with them. Now I just have to break them in.
You don't get any pics at the moment because I am down with a cold again and in my pajamas, but they look like the smaller ones anyway, so you can imagine them.
