I just ordered these a few weeks ago….and I’m wearing them today, and I LOVE THEM TO BITS.
I am a plus sized girl, with 34 inch thighs, 17 inch calves, 58 inch hips, and a 46 inch waist, and they fit AMAZINGLY
There’s a *little* difficulty with the bands at the tops, but after they stretch out throughout the day, they get comfortable.
I LOVE THESE. Yay for knee high socks and skirts in winter! THEY are SO warm!

I’m a little surprised at the comments from taller women here. I’m 5′10″ and 145-ish pounds (can’t remember the last time I weighed myself) and the regular size fits me fine.

I’m with Anna (above) on this one. I’m 5′10″ & 150lb and usually buy the plus-size tights when I’m at the store. They’re better than nothing, but they only “fit” – they don’t *fit*.

When you’re talking $20+, it’s quite a risk to spend money on a pair of tights that aren’t really intended for tall women. So, hopefully Foot Traffic will add a tall-plus-size version in addition to their plus-size version.

I wish we had a way of reviewing products on the web site — but I couldn’t find a way so I thought I would write my experience w/ these here. I am 5′8″ and weigh 152lbs — I am most comfortable in a 33″ inseam with pants, so I bought these Foot Traffic tights in the plus size hoping they would give me extra stretch to accomodate my height and ‘average’ build, since the last pair of tights I had in standard size seemed to be pushing it. I was actually disappointed — The leg length seems short to me. I had to really pull on them to stretch them to get the crotch seam all the way up, and when I bend my legs a large gap forms between the back of my knee and the fabric because they aren’t long enough which prevents them from hugging up against my curves. It just feels like they are really stretched to their limit and still don’t accommodate my height. I wish I would have tried them out before the 7 day return window — I felt like it was worth it to spend a couple of dollars more and go with the EG Smith ones instead. I actually had a pair of those in the standard size and they fit (and felt) much better.

I’ve searched the entire internet for light pink otk socks that will fit a 23 inch thigh. I loved your super Ms and the super loose socks, but they aren’t the right color. Any suggestions?

ok….i got the plus size black leggings…i thought i might jot down my notes on it in case anyone prefers to wear their items as i do….i have a 28 inch waist….i much prefer to wear my bottoms on my hips/high hip area – 37 inch. i feel i have a very short torso and just look weird with things up high on my waist. also, i cannot stand a tight waist. i have gotten the Foot Traffic large stirrups…on me the waist seems tight…and makes a dent in my fat/plush areas….i think due to that i wear things lower….it is actually the very top of my backside/thigh area so it dents i think moreso than if i wore things on my actual waist. but these – the plus size – are perfect….i almost dont feel them on my hip area….to me they are a very snug fit but again this is all in how someone prefers their fit…they are not at all uncomfortable just grasp my leg completely all the way down and i like that they are more opaque because they dont need to stretch as much to cover all my body mass. and these came down just a bit lower on my leg than on Trina which i am happy about.
and that is about it….i would purchase more colors yes!

The sock dresser is getting full! It may need a little brother……..

Rin, she does has lots of good suggestions. As a matter of fact, Trina is the one responsible for my sock drawer morphing into a whole dresser! :)
