Review on Angelina Professional Grade Footed Ballet 248JR_BLK_11 14 by Richard Payne

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable and sturdy but not super tight.

I'm not a ballerina, I'm a waitress in a casino. JC Penney appears to have discontinued the black 'gym tights' we all love at work and we're struggling to find a good replacement. I took the size M/L to test at work. Here is our review. They're really black, which is important. And at 5ft 7in, with a heavy butt and big hips, I was able to quickly and easily slip the M/L on and pull them up almost to my armpits for that slimming effect we all love in the ab area. However, we all agreed that they felt TOO big and didn't give us the super strong support we love at work (we wish they were snug enough to keep them from wobbling and hopefully prevent spider veins). professional ballet tights, but maybe I'm just a size too big. Then again, they were comfortable and wouldn't rip my toenails off! ' to say they're definitely prickly, but they make that squeaky whistling sound when your feet touch. Again, the smaller, tighter sizing could have kept my loud hips from rubbing together, but as it was, the M/L didn't, and I was aware of the added wobble and roughness. I only wore them for 4 hours but in that time I did a deep cleaning at work and did a bit of floor crawling. They didn't run at all and didn't stick. So bonus points for strength! Another thing I noticed is that while they are ballet "legs" tights, they don't have "feet" in the shape of a foot like the Danskin. I only ordered two pairs of ballet tights so I don't know what to expect but they look like regular tights with no special foot shape. For me it's not a problem at all, but then again I'm not a ballerina and I don't know how important that is. I have no intention of returning or throwing them away and the waitress recommends to others if they don't want to wear tights so tight that they have trouble putting them on and taking them off. But I will consider them my backup pair when I find the perfect brand for my job.
