Capezio womens Hold & Stretch Footless Tight

I have tried pain killers, cortisone shots, TENS machine and various support products made for men's knees, like compression leg sleeves... Nothing helped, until now. Not only do these practically eliminate most of the pain, my legs feel energized and I am totally hooked and will be wearing these daily. I do not know why the industry does not market tights or compression hosiery to men, but they should. If there are other men wondering if they will lose their "man card" wearing these, who cares what anyone else thinks. I went with light suntan to match my skin tone, just in case a pants leg tears... lolSpeaking of pants, even they are more comfortable now, since the tights also act as a leg liner, allowing pants and jeans to better slide over the leg. For work or riding my motorcycle, these are literally a home run! The only real complaint I have is I wish these had a flat seam on the "panty" section. You would think, professional women's dance tights would have a flat seam. However, that is a minor complaint and it the seam irritates you, put something on under the them.I am 5'8" and 190lbs, the XL fit me perfectly in footed and footless.One last comment, to those with the negative reviews stating too tight... These are COMPRESSION\SUPPORT tights, they are supposed to be very tight. It does take effort to get them on, but once on, they stay put and feel great (lotion your legs first). I almost did not buy them because of the negative reviews. It would have been a shame to have missed out one such a great product, because it seems many thought they were too small because of the effort in stretching them to put them on... hold and stretch, is exactly how you put them on too. ;)

Based on reviews about the size, I ordered a larger size than I normally am in tights. When I received them, I noticed in fact they have a size chart on the package that is nothing like the published chart in the link. So, I have now posted the chart from the packaging so all can purchase the correct size. The tights are great. The only reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 is that the light suntan is actually a little pale and shiny - not a great color - but that's really personal preference.

I tried these on and thought they must have been for girls and I bought them by accident... Nope, it's women's and I'm 5'4" and 125 pounds and couldn't get them much above my knees...

I just wanted normal capezio footless tights. I ordered XL. They are so small, and so tight that I cannot get them on. I believe they are for children. If I lost 50 pounds, I'd be a small, and they would still be too tight. I am baffled at how hard it is to just get regular dance footless tights, without a squeezing band around the bottom of the leg and with material that will go onto a woman's body. I'm not huge, but I think that even if I ordered a 4X, they still wouldn't go on. I am thinking that this company is based out of Japan, where an XL means a Petite small in the US.

My daughter wears dance tights both at dance and in POM. This type A) Runs very small & B) has no stretch- they actually ripped with her just putting them on straight out of the package. I guess the "Hold" part of this description means "holds" its original shape, not a body shape. Very disappointed because we ordered these so she had new tights for recital and she ended up having to wear torn ones because of the ripping. Some have said order a size up, I did and we still had this issue, so I would say, go up 2 sizes or just stay away from this style. Also, there is something different in the waistband on these that she said was not comfortable and cut into her while she wore them.

After reading the reviews the said these run small, I bought a large. Even though I only weigh 128 and am 5'7 (I normally wear a medium) I could barely get the tights on and they were so uncomfortably tight that i will probably not wear them again.

These footless tights fit great. I only wish they had been the same shade as pictured. I realize color and tone is difficult to reproduce on line, and I will still wear these, but wish they were a bit lighter. I like the fact that the color tone is the same all the way up...no "panty line" change of shade at the top of the thigh. Good for dance class. I wish Amazon was a bit more careful with shipping. Although the package arrived really fast, it was left on the outside stoop of my building in Chicago, where it could easily have been stolen. The delivery person didn't ring my bell....I was home when it arrived and could have gone down to get it. The delivery info says it was delivered to my "mail room". NOT!

One thing that I love about dance tights is that the waist bands tend not to pinch. I have been wearing these tights for years and have loved them. For some reason, Capezio seems to have changed the waistband and it digs in more than it used to. The tights are still wearable, just not quite as good. I still like the hold and stretch fabric as it resists runs and travels through the wash well. It also is not shiny AT ALL, a plus for those of us with a more athletic build who don't want to emphasize our thighs.

Very good quality tights used for audition.Used many times after and still perfect condition. Very comfy to wear!

Good quality footless dance tights, I would buy again, really pleased.

thin and tight, not sure how durable yet, may have preferred slightly thicker on reflection but good quality

Bought a medium as a size 8 and they are far Too small. Waste of money

Nice footless tights but the elastic waistband is too small and has little stretch.
