I am 5'3 " and when it is cold outside I wear Mervyn's women

sweats....they work for me. Also many places (kohl's and Mervyns to

name a few) now are carrying what they call " Yoga pants " which are

below the knee but not quite at your ankle. I even found some with

pockets so I can wear them in colder weather for tennis...

can fit into an Old navy Boys 16 sweats.

question to others who are " vertically

challenged "

Alright ladies,

I just had a frustrating shopping experience. I went to find some

workout pants at an unnamed sports superstore. All of their pants

are apparently made for women that are 6' tall. I am 5'5 " , and

there was easily 6 " extra at the end of every pair that I tried on.

Oh, and they don't carry petite sizes. Ugh! Do they expect me to

wear heels to work out in??

My question is: where do you all find pants for working out in? I

need some ideas before it turns cold here in New England!!

Thanks!

[Guest guest]

Thanks for all the ideas! I've never thought of trying boys sizes!

I buy my shoes in the boys dept, I'll try the pants, too!!!

You are welcome for the suggestion! The Old Navy sweats were on sale this past

summer for $1.97 so I couldn't resist at least trying them, and they work!

BTW - I'm from New England - Auburn, Mass to be exact, and I went to school with

a who was about my size as well. From what I've heard she's a

Physical Therapist now - sound like you? You never know......

Hey neighbor! Wouldn't that be a small world!! It's not me,

though. I actually moved here a year ago from St. Louis, Mo.

I'm going to Old Navy tomorrow, BTW!!

In the winter I have on pair of long spandex pants. They are too long

but I just scrunch them up to around my ankles. They are tight around

my ankles so I'm not tripping over them. Or I wear sweat pants with

elastic around the ankle.

If you want great quality pants that will not fade and are willing

to pay for them, Lerner New York. If you want cheapies that will

last but fade, WALMART!!. I got some cute yoga type pants in their

workout section. With piping on them and everything! I don't

remember the brand, but they carried SHORT lengths!!

I'm 5'4 " and buy leggings from Newport News in either full or capri

length. On a good day you can buy two and get one free. I have the

same problem with regular pants, they're at least four inches too

long unless I buy jeans that are numbered. I have a 29 inch inseam.

So, for my recently purchased slacks(all black, punk style) I also

purchased some boots with two inch high soles and that solves the

problems. I can't sew and don't wanna mess with a tailor.
