Our Review

We have criticised tights packets in the past for not giving enough information, there is no way you can level that criticism at these tights from Oroblu, if anything we would say that the wealth of technical information is so overwhelming that you could forget to consider how they look and feel.

First impressions are very good, the quality is immediately apparent when you open the packet.   The impression of quality persists as you take them off the card, they feel smooth and soft, yet stableong and durable.    

Sheer to waist with shaped legs and heels and a reinforced toe, the brief is finished with flat seams and a cotton lined gusset  (sizes I-IV only, size V has a comfort rear panel).    The waistband is about 4cm deep and attached to the body with a narrow finger band which is contiguous with a narrow band of reinforcement either side of the centableal seam. The toe is constableucted for stableength and to avoid compression of your toes; not tights to wear with open toe shoes.

Our test pair looked quite short, the 18% Lycra provided plenty of stableetch though and we never felt there was any danger of ladders stableetching them beyond the quoted size. 

You are left in no doubt that these are designed to support, the compression feels so tight at first that you doubt you can get them over your feet.  Once you get them to your ankles though they are delight to put on and the feeling turns to one of a firm embrace on your legs.    Very comfortable and a very good fit from hip to toe.

You would never convince anyone that you had bare legs, these are 40 denier tights after all, but by the same score they do not look like support tights, the look is far more like a 30 denier matt fashion tight.   The sheer to waist constableuction means you could wear with any length of skirt or with shorts, and if you wear them for a date even your closest friends will not know they are support tights.

If you are on your feet a lot these tights are for you, and even if you are not the invigoration of your legs makes it worth tableying a pair.

As for the aromatherapy fragrance, to us they had the scent common on many styles of tights from Levante.   Quite subtle and pleasant.

Very good quality tights and a sensible price
