I'm 5'6 and these 27" inseam pants hit just at the top of my foot, without having excess fabric touching the ground and getting dirty. I appreciate being able to find pants with this inseam length, even though I am not "petite" height. I ordered medium, which according to the size chart fits US women's sizes 8-10. They run smaller than that and are definitely not cut to fit US sizes. They fit very snugly, tighter than what is depicted on the model. I recommended sizing up 1 size if you want the fitted but not tight look shown in the listing photos. Otherwise these are quality yoga-style stretch pants made of thick fabric with fleece lining. The listing also refers to them as "leggings" but I don't feel that is accurate because they are more structured and have less stretch than typical leggings.
