I'm really delighted with these pants. I have concerns with them, but they're the only elastic ankle -non-cargo- pants I can find online. They could be a thicker cloth (I'd be more than willing to pay more if the fabric was denser), the waist runs a bit tight, and the elastic drawstring is silly (too short and drawstrings are not as effective when they're so stretchy).I plan to buy some long shoelaces and will be threading them in, to replace the elastic and I wager that'll be a vast improvement.
