Capeziomens Men's Footed Tight

TL;DR: The mattest, blackest matte black tights I've ever owned. Less uncomfortable than some, but not as comfortable as classic M Stevens or BDT tights (is anything?). Bit of a weird crepey texture. Also, the sizing runs more like normal American men's clothing sizes. Meh/10; inexpensive and worth owning as backup tights or for the rare occasion on which even slightly shiny tights are verboten.The Long Version:First up, it's cool that Amazon has added height/weight dimensions to its reviewing system, but since those stats only offer a general picture, I'm going to add a few more. Build makes a difference!A lot of guys my height & weight will have bigger upper bodies and MUCH smaller legs than I do, so here are some additional dimensions.My waist clocks in at 30", hip/butt at 37" (my glutei medii are ridiculously hypertrophic), and my thighs at like 23". Each.At my usual performing weight, you can subtract 2" from all of those, but I somehow seem to have been stuck at home with no AD to make me do a thousand reps of grand allegro, nowhere to do grand allegro in the first place, AND unlimited access to homemade bread for several months. You do the math.Also, a lot of guys my height have shorter legs than mine. My inseam is approximately 32". My husband's is 29", and these would be too long on him. They're almost too long on me.Anyway!I don't love these tights, but I don't hate them either. They're (relatively) inexpensive, completely opaque, and although they're not exactly the epitome of comfort as men's ballet tights go, they're acceptable.They're also as matte and black as matte black tights can be—like black holes for your legs. Only without the crushing and inescapable gravitational field, of course.No light reflects off of these tights, so if you're trying to create the effect of being a floating torso, these and a black backdrop will get you most of the way there.I ordered a larger size than I normally would because I was feeling paranoid about gaining a few pounds and worried that these would be too thin.They're not, and I should've just ordered my normal size. They're a bit too large even now, and at my normal performing weight they'll be rather more so.Particularly if your legs have more normal dimensions, order your usual size. If you're a German track cyclist, however, you might need to size up?Since I only plan to use them as emergency back-up tights, I'll keep them.PS: I've also worn the white version (provided by my company's costumer), and they're similarly matte, opaque, and tolerable. The pair I wore was also probably like 10 years old, which speaks well of their durability.

The CAPEZIO MEN'S FOOTED TIGHTS worked nicely for my Halloween costume. I went as "Bobbi" the transvestite in Brian De Palma's movie  Dressed to Kill [Blu-ray ] and I really didn't want to wear panty hose because I thought it would be cold outside and I didn't want to shave my legs, so I opted for these tights.I bought the X-Large, which was just right. I'm 5'-9", muscular, and weigh about 190lbs, and so I could have gotten the large, which is listed on the back for my height, but Amazon was sold out of the Large for Prime shipping, so I went with X-Large. It's a good thing I did, too.These are tights and so they're tight, LOL, so the little extra I room I got from the XL was just right. They worked really well, not only keeping my legs warm -- though we weren't outside too long -- and are opaque so my leg hairs didn't show through. The picture is pretty accurate. Also, they're pretty heavy duty so you don't have to worry too much about tearing or getting a run in the tights like you do with regular pantyhose.The tights have a seam in the back, so care must be taken when putting them on so that your seams aren't crooked. One easy way to tell is that on the front of the tights, there's a small fabric line, I thought it was a run but it's not, that runs from the toe up to the thigh. It's very vague, you'll hardly notice it unless you're really looking, but this line corresponds with the seam in the back so you'll know if your seam is straight when you put on the tights.Another thing is that there aren't any instructions on how to put on the tights. Dancers will probably already know this but for the average guy: You can't just put them on like pants. You have to roll them down to the foot part, put your foot in and begin unrolling back up your leg; when you get to about mid-calf to knee, you do the same with the other foot, and unroll until the tights are even and then you can unroll at once until you reach the top.I would also advice wearing a thong under the tights. Since they are tight, underwear will be uncomfortable or you could probably go commando, too, but I'll leave that up to you.

Under Seahorse costume. If your 5’11” your extra large when buying these tights

Comfortable under jeans, proves that in between layer of warmth. Not too little or too much.

Listened to reviews and ordered XL (32 in waist, 5'8), and it fits. When I first opened it, looked small, but they are tights, it stretched. If you are new to men's tights, like me, you should know they are not specially designed for men or anything, no crotch sack, just a durable, fitting version of women's tights if you've tried those on.

I prefer these tights over thermal as they keep me warm but not too hot or bulky.

Amazing product! I have to dress up at work (stage theatre) and hate dealing with socks falling or underwear lines seen through my dress pants, etc. In addition, I need to lose about 40 lbs. I like for my clothes to fit and look a certain way on me.So, in order to achieve this, I wear the Capezio Men's Footed Tights (black/medium) under my clothing. The tights serve as my socks and underwear (I don't have to wear actual socks or underwear) in addition to slimming my appearance and smoothing out my "fat rolls". Lol. Wearing the tights under my clothing, I don't have to worry about my socks falling or having underwear lines. I'm short (5'4"), so the top of the tights stops just above my belly. This great because it's slimming action helps to slim my belly and handles.In addition to the tights I also wear the "Azure Men's Slimming Body Shaper Tank Top" (black/medium). I put this on first and then the tights. The tights extend over the lower portion of the tank, adding extra slimming action to my belly and handles. Once everything is on, I look a lot slimmer and smoother and my clothes fit and look a lot better.

I bought these for use as ballet tights. I have a 27-inch waist and a 35-inch leg measurement, and the X-Large fits perfectly lengthwise and breadthwise. I have since purchased two more tights and they are still going strong 4 years on.

Very well packaged, lovely pair of mens dance ballet tights, fit very well, comfortable to wear, great product, would buy another pair again.

As expected

A bit pricey for the quality

Trage gerne Strumpfhosen. Sowohl unter langen Hosen und auch zu Shorts. Diese Strumpfhose passt mir sehr gut. Sie verrutscht nicht, hält Beine warm und ist blickdicht und robust. Bin 1,95 m groß und stabil gebaut. Habe Größe XXL gekauft. Einzig was etwas störend ist, sind die hinten liegenden Nähte an den Beinen. Trotzdem 5 Sterne von mir.
