ChloeNoel Footed Ice Skating Tights 8830

My first impression of these tights is positive except a few things. I chose this site (Walmart.com) for free shipping and easy and free returns since I had no idea if I would like these as I had not ever ordered them before. I needed these to be able to pass muster as "nude hose" for uniform standards at my work, and didn't know if they would be too opaque or not. They do not look too bad and may be able to pass. I took off one star initially for a couple reasons. For the "free shipping and easy & free returns" you do have to pay about $5 more for these than ordering direct from their website. However, I decided to do it because after you factor all of that in, its probably the better deal. Secondly, there are other colors/tones available in this style on their website. This color is a pretty neutral beige, but still isn't quite nude, it is more of a "medium" Caucasian- like skin tone and may not suit everyone. Thirdly, the waistband is really high...comes up to my belly button which I find uncomfortable and strange in this era of low rise pants. That being said, this website did not have a size guide so I went to the one that is posted on figureskatingstore.com's cloenoel tights post. Be aware that the number sizes are children's sizes. I ordered ladies L in which weight guide starts at 135, but in my limited pantyhose experience, pantyhose usually runs small. These run more true to size and I think I should /could of been better off with a medium. All and all these feel super soft and durable and I hope they will pass my uniform test.
