Boden customers are praising a set of leggings that will "last for years". Shoppers have been rushing to the retailer to get their hands on a pair of athleisure leggings that are perfect for wearing to the gym or on a relaxed evening out.

The high-waisted leggings cost £65 and are available in sizes 6 to 22. The garment has a fitted shape and is made with a sleek and stretchy material to ensure it is versatile to wear throughout the day.

The black leggings have a high waistband and a sculpted shape to help flatter your figure. Plus, these leggings also have a secure zipped pocket, which is perfect to keep your keys in.

The item has more than 160 reviews on the Boden website and an overall rating of four out of five stars. One happy customer wrote: "Quality is superb (as usual for Boden). I love their leggings. These aren't your 'wear for a month then throw away' kind.

"I know these are going to last for years. Exactly as advertised and true to fit. Well worth the money." A second wrote: "Really nice quality leggings, the fabric feels nice and thick and I think they'll wear well. Love the design too."

Although not everyone was convinced. One shopper stated: "So far I have worn twice to the gym and I'm a little bit disappointed as they wrinkle at the back of my knee and it detracts from the smoothness of the leggings as the material feels more like a tight Jersey than usual active wear. It's a shame as I'd had my eye on these for a while."

Another added: "Okay as far as leggings go but expected something better to reflect the hefty price tag. Ordered size 10 but they were quite loose so had to return."

A good alternative to this pair of leggings is the Breathe and Balance High Waisted Sport Leggings at Debenhams by Mountain Warehouse. The garment is available in grey, navy, black or dark blue, and is on sale for as little as £18.99 instead of £45.99 in selected colours.

Or Marks & Spencer also has a high-waisted pair of gym leggings available in sizes 6 to 24. This pair of black leggings costs £27.50 and has more than 320 reviews on the retailers website. Similar to the Boden pair, this garment has a flattering waistband and a secure back pocket. Although these leggings also have a handy side pocket for your phone.
