I am a huge fan of these jeans and so glad I purchased! I do not like when jeans are made with too much stretch or spandex - I like jeans to hold you in a bit, be sturdy, but comfortable. These are those jeans! There is a bit of stretch, but still have a true denim feel and hold. I am athletic but always had thick thighs and a large butt - unironically, similar to Miranda & I love the fit of these! Highly recommend.
