I love these shorts! They are so much comfier than the old Columbia ones I had for walking and I have such flexibility and movement in them, they are great! My only thing is I think I might be inbetween sizes as I have wider hips but a smaller waist, so I find the waist is quite lose, but I am sure if I dropped down to an XS it would feel too tight around my hips and bum! I also only noticed it was quite significant after I had worn them out, so couldn't return for a smaller size. I will buy a belt for them which should do the trick, but perhaps a felcro pull or something in the waist would help with this? But otherwise, really wonderful shorts!
