Cropped gym leggings for short people?

I’m 5 foot and need gym leggings that sit just below the knee - I do a LOT of walking and Pilates!

My current collection are sort of mid calf rather than below my knee so I don’t know if that’s because I’m short or because I’m buying the wrong type?

What do you short, petite ladies wear? I’m a size 8-10, about 8 stone if that’s relevant.... Smile

Elle sports leggings are really good, they do a short style and i'm around 5'2, 8 stone as well. I work in Tk maxx and we always have them there, and only for around 12.99-14.99 Smile

Elle? Ok good, I’ll have a look at those in take today...

Maybe this is just an excuse to continue my gym-kit buying compulsion 😂

Got some asics Capris which are great but bought a small and they’re TOO small 🙈

I just got some in Tesco today. Am also a short arse.

Oh I like tesco gym kit! Everything is mid calf on me - I want just below the knee - maybe I’ve invented this length?!

Next do some great ones. I'm also short but they are perfect length and not too expensive. They also wash really well

No they’ve got one which is just below the knee in Tesco, grey one.

these

In 5ft2” and they weren’t mid calf on me when I tried them on. Shorter than that.

I'm seconding the recommendation for Elle at TK Maxx. They are a great length, fit nicely and 'wash and wear' really well. I've had the same pair for years and they're still good as new.
