Alternative to Sweaty Betty all day leggings

I have a pair of these, which I love for walking, yoga etc. I was going to buy another pair, but it looks like they've changed them, and all the recent reviews are terrible.

Can anyone recommend an alternative? Ones that are soft, non-shiny and that don't have a ridiculously high waist. I'm only 5 foot so my preference is for 7/8th length.

On the lookout for similar. I was thinking of trying lululemon as they have various leg lengths. I'm only 4"11. I have several pairs from lacuna fit as they are designed for petites and they are lovely but I'd like to try something different.

I have a pair of IUGA leggings from amazon that cost about £25 and I love them. More than my expensive leggings! They’re soft, non shiny, not see through, stay put and have pockets. I’m 5’3 and find the full length fit fine with not much excess. They also do 3/4 length, not 7/8 I don’t think but worth a look as they keep expanding the range.

I bought a pair of the new style all day leggings without realising they had changed them (I'd been after a black pair for ages and they were constantly out of stock, so I pounced when they came back into stock again).

They aren't that bad - I noticed there was something slightly different about them, but I certainly don't hate them. They aren't as soft as the old style, the full length ones are very slightly longer, and the band at the top is a bit deeper, but I don't find them shiny at all. I have 3 pairs of the old style ones, so was a bit fan!

Lululemon aligns?

I have a good few pairs, am wearing the black full length ones atm and I love them but noticed a tiny hole in the bum last week. I also read the reviews but went and ordered a pair of black ones this morning as like you I'm not sure what other brands do something similar. I'll let you know how the compare when I get them delivered.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll give the new style a go, but if I'm not keen I'll try one of the others suggested.

I just got my new IUGA leggings delivered. I'll wear them to yoga tomorrow so hopefully I'll be happy with them

Got the new ones wearing them now. Not as soft but a good fit and still v comfortable.
