Capezio Men's Knit Footed Tights

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.

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.

Well it happened again. Again I received tights that are see through. I don't understand this. When I was in college minoring in dance I never had this problem. Tights were made better a few years back. Now everything you buy is translucent or worse. You are being sold panty hose as opposed to real dancers tights.If you want real professional grade tights you need to spend at least twice this amount and you may still get burned. They also have a gusset in the crotch area which only tears apart after a few uses. Not good. Men don't need this.I'd spend another ten bucks and get better quality.Also they run small, the large is quite snug for a 29-30 in waist but I like the feel.

My first purchase was XXL, then I bought XL, then L as I lost weight by exercising in these ballet tights. I wear them under my clothes at work and while exercising in the park, by power walking. All of the tights are still usable, even after heavy wear. I do wear socks over them when I know I will be busy at work and exercising hard. They have helped me prevent blisters and callouses. I will probably but four more pair of tights when I lose more weight. I rinse them in the shower and wash them at the laundromat on weekends.

I bought these because I couldn't find long underwear with feet and I needed an extra layer of warmth under my socks. These turned out to be perfect. Very comfortable, good weight, and apparently well-made. I've only worn them a couple fo times, so I don't know yet how they'll hold up, but I think they will do very well.

Any ladies looking for the ultimate Blackout tightshould absolutely consider these.SO super thick, comfy and warm - not to mention nearly indestructible! The waist is pretty high and definitely holds you in, which I quite like.Plus they have a backseam that’s kind of cute and sexy ☺️

I bought 3 pairs.1 a year ago and a half ago.2nd one, 11 months ago.3rd one 4 months ago.This is literally wear I get my jeans. They are well fitted and complements my legs. So sexy ! Keep in mind, it gets tighter when you put it through the dryer a lot. Like, every other clothes.I'm 5'10Weight varies 180-207lbs. Size 36 is what I order. Size 34 is perfect around the waist but I have long legs. So I go with 36 + I have a belt and 36 still makes my butt and legs looks sexy asf.

My son was in a couple of musicals and was required to wear these under his costumes. I only wish I'd bought a second pair! But they easily hand wash and hang dry, which is what I did in between rehearsals and performances. They are a quality product. He'll be in theater productions in college and may need these again. If I need to do I would definitely buy these again.

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

Very thick with a super high waist. They definitely take a beating. They do fit a bit on the small side but otherwise as advertised.

Se transparenta demasiado. No es tupida.Es una pena, por lo demás la malla es cómoda y me gusta.
