Customer Reviews CW-X Stabilyx Joint Support Compression Tights

I have searched all the local running stores in my area and was not able to find these tights in an extra small. Lo and behold Zappos saved me. I love these running tights. Amazing that I received them two days after ordering. Thank you Zappos!

These were my first try at compression pants, and, given all the 5 star ratings, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, CWX pants just don't seem to be made for me ... I'm 5'9" and 130lbs. I tried the small and medium. With both, the 24" inseam was way too short, and I was constantly tugging to keep the waist in place. The legs of the pants fit fine. I wish they came in talls.

I absolutely love these pants. A little tight going on but once they are on and in place they feel so good. I keep them on long after my workout is over because research has shown how they improve your recovery after exercise too. I can't say enough about how pleased I am about finding these pants . I have all colours and styles they make. Enough said!!!

These are awesome! I'm 5'9 and size 12/14. I purchased these in a large. They fit great! It takes a little extra work to put these on, but once they are on it's a world of difference. I'm training for a half marathon and use these for the long runs, I have challenged knees and they offer a lot of support for my knees and my entire legs for that matter! Best money spent!

I am 5'1". Pear shaped, all in the thighs and backside, with a kangaroo pouch, 185 pounds. I wear a medium/large shirt, and XL pants/size 14. I purchased these in the size L, and they fit me just fine. I have owned the same pants in the 3/4 tight version about a year ago, and still wear them under my capris for jogging. My only two gripes about these pants are this. I have room to pull the waist band away from my body, so I know it is not because they are too tight, but on extended/distance runs (eight miles and longer), where the drawstring knot is - chaffes my skin. Since I am cocoa colored, I have a few eraser sized scars across the band line. Number two, I just recently experienced some chaffing on the upper, inner thigh area. I am told getting some Glide will alleviate these problems, so I will try this. Otherwise, these pants are cute, and they do help circumvent a lot of the muscle fatigue I would experience otherwise. A note to my petite, pear shaped big-girls. You can get these on! It just takes patience, they are very durable! I got my first pair when I was 210 pounds! Keep the faith alive!

I used to run in shorts and my knees would get tired and sore afterwards. After I started running in these tights, I could not go back. I felt great afterwards, no knee pain, no leg pain, excellent! I immediately bought 3 more pairs. So awesome. Plus these make you look skinny no matter what your size. I am 5'5", 140# - I got the size M.

I have had trouble running for the past few years, even across a crosswalk! My knee cap does not track correctly. These pants are amazing, I ran about a mile in them with no knee pain. I am 6' tall, 145lbs, and the mediums fit me well. They do not go all the way to my ankle though, that's my only complaint.

I already had these in capri length. I had to have the long length too! I am a size 14 but bought these in a medium because i like them tight. They are great! I have two shorts, two capri length and the tights. I won't run in anything else.

These are awesome! I ran a 15k in them this past weekend and they really do feel spring loaded. I felt already warmed up and ready to get right into my pace. They fit true to size and I already washed and hung dry, they are great!

I absolutely love these running tights. I am 5'6" and 155 pounds. I ordered the mediums and they fit great! For the cold winter months I am going to order a pair on the insulated ones. I do not think that I will ever run in anything else!

My legs feel spring-loaded when I'm rockin' these puppies! I love the firm support these tights offer. Don't be afraid to order your size. They may be snug going on, but feel like heaven from step one of your morning jog.

Love the pants. Once I got them up and all in the right spots, I felt like I was floating. I haven't run with them yet as it is still too hot in CA. Love the customer service I got from Zappos. It's what all companies should strive for.

Love them! The fit is terrific. Very supportive. Cool to run in on the warm days yet warm enough for those chilly mornings. Seams very well sewn. Compression is all the right spots.

I need compression pants to jog in that don't show skin and hold the extra pounds in - and these did the job. I bought the capris for summer and the pants for winter. Easier to put on after first couple of uses. I bought the small, am 5'4 and 140 lbs.

I ran the 2011 LA Marathon in these pants...and was back to normal in 2 days. My sister, who wore her trendy Lululemon pants was sore for 2 weeks! She's also 2 years older than me but...I think it was the pants. They only drawback is that they don't have enough pockets for all the Gu or snacks you may need. Lululemon has these beat on that front. But, I loved them. They kick ass! Get them right away - you will not regret it.

These tights are the best! Can clearly tell a difference with my knees when I wear them. Just wish they came in a lighter color that would not be so warm.

This is the only brand of running tights I will buy. I own three pairs of CW-X tights and I love them all. They are supportive and comfortable. They are also well made and durable. They really do help support your legs and help with recovery after runs.

These are the greatest running tights ever! I have worn them on many of my long runs while training for the Boston Marathon. I definitely feel the difference in my legs during and after the run. My muscles and knees feel very supported throughout it all. I found that these are pretty true to size; they just fit a bit tighter than others and take a little getting used to. I wear the same size as all of my other running tights, shorts, etc. To top it off Zappos customer service is the best! Great tights and a great shopping experience...online!

I love these pants! These are my second pair. The first are still working (about 2 years old), but I was worried that they were stretching out. I don't think they are, but now I don't have to wear dirty pants every day!

These compression tights really give you support while you run. They do run small. Order one size up from the sizing chart.

I really like these tights! I have medial meniscus problems in the past which was aggravated by running. The seaming on these tights give nice support to the knee as well as the whole leg. I'm thinking about purchasing a second pair!

I've been a runner since I was a kid but always avoided tights...shorts or loose running pants only! However, these do provide support that regular running pants don't. I don't have any serious issues to worry about but I do have a weak lower back and pelvic/hip issues from marathon training a few years ago...these help support those areas...and any support is appreciated - despite the silly feeling coming from wearing tights!

My boyfriend purchased these for me for Christmas. And all I have to say is I love them! They looked small when I took them out, but they fit great. I can feel the support in my legs and around my knees. I don't want to stop running when I have them on!

I am a regular runner, 5'7", 135lbs. I ordered a medium and these fit great and feel great when I run. They do exactly what they say they do. Highly recommend it to anyone!

I thought the size small would fit, but my legs are very muscular, so I am returning the small for a medium. Thanks.
