Should I have to do a little dance to get these pants on for the first time?

If you follow the directions they are a little tight but not that hard to get into.

Not really, but start from the foot up almost like you would put on stockings. The dance may come in when you get closer to the top and you want to adjust them

Yes. If you have to do a little dance to get in them, you have the right size.

Only the first time. A slight pull-tug type dance; Just pull on like you would panty-hose but with more grip and force. Squat a few times to adjust the fabric. They are extremely comfortable once you are in them. I am 5'9'' and weigh 156lbs. I purchased a large. They keep my aching areas tight and warm. A definite SOLID purchase. You will not be disappointed! People inquire all the time when I am wearing them.

Bunch the pants up and get the lower part of the legs in your grip. pull the material onto your ankles/calfs. Pull one leg at a time of the material over your upper calfs, to your knees, upper thighs, etc all the way up. Do a couple of squats to adjust the material in the upper thighs, crotch and waist area. Done!!

I would say you should be ok as these uniforms fit a little large but they are designed for freedom of movement when wxcercjsing or doing Tai Chi.GC

I have no idea why someone thought you have to step into it. You simply wrap it around your waist and velcro it. You then grab hold of additional velcro tabs and pull them toward your middle until you have achieved the level of support you want. I would not wear it fully supported all day as you need your own muscles to do much of the work to strengthen. I put mine on without "support tightness". I then tighten the two additional velcro tabs to give lots of support WHEN I NEED IT. When I'm not doing something strenuous, I loosen the two tabs and let my body do the work. It's always there and ready to tighten when I need it. I have no idea why someone thought you have to step into it. You simply wrap it around your waist and velcro it.

I wear them for dancing. You aren't going to have arch support with them. You probably will need to glue them in place or something... They seem to slip towards my toes in my shoes sometimes.

Honestly it's borderline, slacks and dockers I would say yes, jeans and or cargo pants fairly easy. I don't wear mine as I have a old classic US made Gerber to wear when needed but I keep these in my cars and other areas.

yes. keep them bare on the bottom for best results. drape a small blanket or towel loosely over the top part of your feet. It's ok to wiggle your toes - ha!

Just put the boots on and leave them on for an hour, then stick your hands in the boots... They should feel warm, if not, send it back...

I would not get them, unless they come in short. I am 5'6" and these pants were a little too long. I got a size 4. My rear is normal size and it fit loosely. But also, pay attention to the previous comments about the zipper being tight around the thigh!

Yes - the seams may be a little creased but should relax as soon as you put them on.

Yes I think so. Really give the legs a workout. I felt the fit was good and comfortable.

They are if you're wearing jeans or thick pant, but any longer than a typical dinner and you might want to invest in some chair pads (which I did - I only use them when I know we're going to be sitting for longer than an hour). I get SO MANY compliments on these chairs!!

As a female I measured my hips around the largest area. Pants are quite forgiving and you will want them to come to your belly button or above.

I think a lot has to do how one is built and how the pants are made. In my case I normally wear a women's 24 in jeans. I have tried on jeans that are too tight and say 24. I have a bigger rear end, smaller waist, and my legs are smaller compared to the rest of me (that changes without notice!). They fit me pretty good in the legs but they wouldn't snap due to the top part being smaller on me. They are not hemed and I wish they had been, I hate hemming pants but one does what one must. I hope this helps and good luck to you.

These things so tight it's a job to get them on and I usually end up in a sweat, but you have to start from the inside out and do roll it back up your leg like Wendy said. It really is worth all the trouble.

Hello! If you usually wear a medium then I believe it´s safe to order a medium in these pants, too. Like I said in my review, I wear a size 4 / small in pants and even though these Zumba pants look tiny, the fit perfectly because the waistband is very stretchy.

Yes, I have and they are fine, they don't "hold on to" much more mud than bare skin does.Also. all these comments about DON"T WEAR PANTS are plain old bullcrap There is NO reason not to wear a FULL combat uniform in these races if that's your thing. I and many others have done it. If you want to COMPETE then sure, wear lightweight gear. But for a fun run you can wear a 50'lb ruck and BDU if you want.

Yes, but cut low in the rise, so take that into consideration when you order. I wear a size 10 or 12 pants and took an XL to accommodate my short waist and the pants low cut rise. They are extremely comfortable and look great. I am age 64. Fun to dance in them!
