Like one of the other reviewers stated, ordered XL to be on the safe side, they are more of a medium, would fit a 5 ft 8 inch person with a 32 to 34 inch waist at the most, rise about 3 inches above my ankle and I am roughly at 5'10... overall quality medium to low, trouble with the button... they had a smokin' great advertisement which lured me in hook line and sinker which i rarely do, they have my money and me, a product that I will never be able to use or give to anyone else and even though new, would not sell them due to the quality, sad item, a number of products coming out of China have quality to them, unfortunately, this product is not one of them and brings me back to the 70's, 80's and 90's when most all Chinese imported products were the worst in the market and industry.
