212 Danskin Compression Footed Tights

had these in the past and love them. I tend to use them as winter tights when you dont want to wear black! very cosy.

Perfect fit for my wife!

I haven't worn dance tights in 25 years (and even more pounds) but I was looking for something with the strength and semi-opacity that I remembered from Way Back When. I got that, and more: the Danskin tights are _more_ comfortable than I remembered! Although I sized up on the chart, I was still concerned that my hip-heavy figure would exacerbate the typical compressed thighs/falling crotch feel that I get from so many street-wear brands of hosiery. Nope! Almost as comfy as pajamas, if you can believe it.As a bonus, although I still keep my fingernails filed to an almond (read: pointy) shape, my clumsy self didn't poke right through the weave like I repeatedly did those many years ago. Oh, did the wardrobe manager used to scold me for that!Pros: comfort, opacity (more than pantyhose, less than mass-merchant tights), strength, not powdery matte but no '80s-aerobics-instructor sheenCons: limited color selection is appropriate for traditional stage, but not fashion forward

If you are looking for compression tights, these are not for you. There is no compression any where in the tight. As soon as I opened them, it was obvious that they were not compression as the legs do not taper down to the foot and the pant is also loose but this is not because i bought the wrong size, I actually bought a size on the small side. They are wide from the pantie all the way down through the ankle. Fortunately Amazon did take these back.

Bought them for a halloween costume, but they are a fantastic purchase. To size myself for these I visited Danskin'ssite and took measuments; they were very accurate! I purchased the C in Theatrical Pink- I have larger hips and thighs, an average to large butt, and slightly thicker calves compared to your average 145-lb 5'3 lady, in my opinion, so there's that for your reference. I did not treat them well- I actually wore them in open toe heels into the mud a few times- and there are no runs and very little visible-area staining! These are QUALITY tights. Very pale pink, opaque color- it is not a natural skin tone, definitely a ballet pink, so if you're trying for nude on anyone you should try a different color. Considerable stretch but stays up well and doesn't cut into my stomach (I tend to pull stuff like this up to or past my navel because I'm self-conscious and have a short torso).

I love these tights. I actually wear them to work for a few reasons. I wake up at 2am for work and don’t want to shave my legs. These cover all imperfections and are quite opaque. They are hard to snag since they are thick. I’ve wasted a lot of money on regular pantyhose - from expensive to cheap - they all tear. These are my go-to.

Very nice pantyhose! When I seen the package and read the size chart, I thought there was no way that these were going to fit. Six foot two at 210 pounds and they fit great! (Size D) The VA gives me 4 pairs of compression pantyhose every six months --- so sometimes I have to buy my own, These have light compression but just enough to do the job. Besides, they look great!!
