‘New’ Elation update/review

I posted the other day about my old vs new elations and wanted to give a bit of an update/review. For full context, I got them on sale for 30% off and bought with gift cards which (kind of?) influenced me to keep them. Plus, I’d have to mail them back and I hate doing that. Lol.

While they are noticeably thinner and not as soft as my existing pair, I like them. They are thicker than LLL aligns, and a little more compressive. Also, Athleta ankles > LLL ankles. They just feel nicer. Overall I do think these are slightly more flattering than aligns, but not as flattering as my older Elations.

So, in short, if you are looking for a replacement for your buttery soft Elations, you’ll be disappointed. If you are looking for something VERY similar to LLL aligns, but a little thicker, you will be very pleased with these. I am keeping for that reason. I bought them the same week I got new Aligns because I wanted something different to reach for, and while these weren’t exactly that for me… I still like them and am keeping them!
