My tights are falling down

roosterjay Mar 2013 1:01pm, 10 Mar 2013 4 posts	0 roosterjay I bought some Skins A200 compression tights thinking they were the bees knees but they keep heading for my knees instead. I'm smack in the middle of the size range that they recommend for both weight and height but I have to say they are useless for me. I'm not exactly fat, maybe carrying a little excess timber but not much. They creep down so much within the first mile that my butt is on display and as a result I can't open my stride and resemble a yoof at the shopping arcade. Am I alone in this or is it a common theme? Absolutely no problem with my 'normal' adidas running tights.
