Comfortable!

Finally, comfortable hose! They're beautifully sheer and look great, but the best part is -- no binding at the waist. Buy these hose!

Poor quality for price

I was excited about having a nice pair of nylons that I could wear more than once or twice, and I thought that's what I was getting. I have a pair of Commando opaque black tights that I love. I've been wearing those for a year. These looked nice when I took them out of the package and they were comfortable. However, I wore them once--to work followed by a night out--and when I took them off they had a big hole in the toe. That's to be expected when you spend $3 on nylons, but I really expected more from these.

Disappointed

These pantyhose look great and are very comfortable around the waist. However, my finger went right through them the first time I put them on, resulting in a big hole and runner. I have worn the opaque black tights for years and never had this issue. Apparently the nude version are much thinner and more fragile. I’m afraid these were a waste of money and I won’t buy them again.

Zero Stars, don't waste your money.

I had these pantyhose on for less than 30 mins. I was litrally walking, I reached down to smooth my skirt, and I felt 2 holes in them. An absolute waste of money.

Snagged immediately

I’ve had good luck with Commando tights but these are not made well. I didn’t even make it out of the house before they snagged. Threw them in the trash

Poor Quality - Buy Drugstore Brand Instead

Purchased these for my petite 5’2” 109lb daughter to wear to HOCO thinking they would be durable at their price point. The store packaging of this product is marketed as a “tight”. She was looking for a sheer black tight, she liked how these felt on her skin in the store. First pair we purchased, she tried on at home and when she went to put them on for the dance she discovered a small hole appeared around the ankle. We wound up purchasing another pair thinking it was probably a fluke. She had the 2nd never worn pair on for maybe 2-3 hours and came back with holes in the feet. She was wearing a closed toe block heel with an ankle strap. At $50 a pop these most certainly should be able to last longer than a few hours. Really disappointed in Nordstrom for carrying such a poor quality product. **BUYER BEWARE**
