I have several mid length leggings from Athleta that I purchased years ago that I love but they are falling apart so I was so excited when I saw these. I have a very short torso, so high rise leggings end up over my ribs which is super uncomfortable. These are nothing like my old mid rise leggings. There like mid/low rise in the front and like super low rise in the back if you have any sort of butt these leggings are not for you. Mid rise doesn't need to be this low it really just needs to be a little lower than high rise the adjustment shouldn't be this dramatic. Please fix this. There are short waisted women that need mid rise but these aren't it.

I was so excited about these. I was hoping these would be the elation leggings from 5 years ago (which were perfection). These were so low they did not fully cover my rear end. They are so tight at the top but not tight enough in the legs.

Finally some leggings that don't choke my waist! These fit like a dream. Since I'm not doing squats I can't attest to their performance in that area but for everyday wear they are soft, supple, flattering and thankfully not high rise. Thank you Athleta-I love them and got both colors. I ordered my normal medium tall. I am 5'8" and 135 lbs. The tall made them regular length for me instead of 7/8 which is what I hoped it would do.
