The feel of the fabric in the hand is smooth, but the yarn weight is quite obvious.
The seams are flat and the gusset, of the same material as the panty in general, reaches almost to the waistband at the rear.
The legs look to be quite short.
The high compression at the ankle is obvious a soon as you try to put them on, there is certainly no room for hands and foot in there at the same time.
Once on you can see that the heel is the fully constructed type, as per Falke support tights, rather than shaping over a board in finishing.
Don't try to put these on in a hurry, it can't be done. But once on the fit is very good with a deep panty area for comfort.
Colour is very even on the leg, but the finish is more matt than the satin suggested by the photo on the packet.
As these tights are the official legwear of Lufthansa cabin crew you can have them in any colour you like so long as it is black.
With the cycling short style top these tights are for wear with trousers or a skirt just a little above the knee or longer.
