I am 5 ft. tall and wear a size 10 jeans. I have a pair of M biking shorts...is M too big for me in these tights?

I think M will be fine because I wear size 4-6 jeans but I am 5'9" and Med are perfect. These are my favorite riding pants!

Hey, I'm out of town right now, but I ordered size 2, and they fit fine. I'm 5'5", 24" waist and about 35" low hip/bum, 20" upper thighs. Were slightly loose, but not at all sloppy. Hope this helped some.

They have an 8 inch inseam and come just above my knees. I'm 5'4 and wear a size 29/30 waist in jeans. The shorts have an elastic waist and draw string so you should be able to snug them around your waist.

I'm 5'10" and a 32" waistline and I got a medium, they fit great. So I would say a medium would work for you also.

I am 5'3" and weigh 130. I bought the medium size, and they are tight enough to do the job but not so tight that I can't stand to wear them. I'm thinking maybe a size medium would be too tight for you if, as you say, you are between a medium and large. Hope this helps.

they are pretty tight on me and I'm a 34 waist. I ordered a medium. I think you could do either but a large would work better wouldn't be so tight. I have skinny thighs so if you have larger ones I would get the large

I wear a regular size 2 jeans and wear a size small in these volleyball shorts. They are really stretchy and are supposed to be worn tight otherwise they ride up your butt.

I bought a size smaller than I usually wear because of the reviews saying they ran big. Mine fit like a glove, so I can't wear them comfortably over jeans. I would guess that if you bought them in your normal size, wearing them over snug jeans would work fine.

Don't know if this helps or not, because I'm 5'10" and weigh 140, but I wear the small in these shorts. They fit me perfectly and I really like them. They're perfect for dive boats, etc., where you want a little more coverage.

To answer your question I would say probably not. I am 5'6" tall and the extra-large pair of shorts fall just to the top of my knees when I'm standing. When I'm on the bike the shorts ride about 2 inches above my knee so the shorts aren't long enough to chafe the back of my knee. You could probably hem the outer short but the liner has an elastic band to keep it tight around your legs. I think it would be difficult to hem the liner and possibly uncomfortable to wear it if you did . The liner is about an inch shorter than the outer shorts and depending how much you hemmed the shorts you would probably see the liner if you didn't hem it. I hope this helps you in your decision.

I am 5'5" and the small is fine for me. They are a maybe a little short but at 112 I did not want baggy tights. If you are a big build at 5'7" I would guess lg might work for you but if you are a slimmer build perhaps medium is the way to go??

In my experience, these run tight around the waist. I have a 32" waist and normally wear a medium in underwear. However, I bought these in a size L and find them quite tight.

I got these for my daughter who is on a track team. She is 5'6" and about 140 lb with about 17% body fat and the bulk of her wt. in her legs. I got her size medium - they fit her great. She loves these tights. So, my best guess would be for you - a size small. I do not know about vein support, but I do know that the design is for specific muscle support.

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!

I'm a size 8 - and definitely like the M/L. If you wear a small-ish biking shoe, the small should work well. If you wear a pretty big cross-trainer - probably a M/L. Hope this helps.

My waist is on the upper end of the mediums and they fit. Since your waist is on the upper end of the large, large should be fine unless of course you have unusually thick thighs. Large will be long though.

tricky! I wear a regular, and I am 5' 4". They go up to my knees. They are a little big and I sometimes need to re-adjust them when kicking the bag. I think this size should cover your shins and in-step no problem - unless you have those loooooong John Jones legs - then you may have to size up to a large. Good Luck!! :)
