Years ago I scraped together some misfit workout outfit options and by now I have everything nailed down in comfy replacements other than the pants, and it's majorly derailing my motivation to move and work out.

I cannot stand the chafing I get from the skin-tight leggings, so the most popular option is a hard no. I also don't want the really loose fit sweat pants with the fluffy insides. They shed fluff like crazy and I overheat.

I want simple pants, either full length or capris with a straight leg that doesn't crimp on the ankle, and doesn't end up being a weird high water length. (I'm not tall but any means but somehow "ankle length" is somehow a really popular style? I find it so uncomfortable.)

Everything that isn't leggings fits so weird except the one pair of pants I found that Walmart doesn't make anymore. They sit too low on the crotch so my legs chafe, too high on the ankles, and the pockets aren't sturdy enough to hold a phone while walking on a treadmill. Or they're too tight or too loose.

Where do you shop (that's not $40 a pair, because I'm looking to buy 3-4 of the same ones).

I thought Walmart finally had an option for me, even though they were fuzzy and thicker than I preferred, only to find that the medium was huge on me and one of the pairs was out of stock. I ordered the same three in a size smaller and suddenly they were all out of stock after my order was placed. I give up.
