Are these good for yoga and pilates?

Yes. The high waistband stays in place through bends and the capri length keeps fabric off the ankle. The slit hem gives extra room at the calf for lunges and stretches.

How do they compare with full-length leggings?

They cover less of the leg, so they run cooler and suit warm weather or indoor classes. Full-length leggings give more coverage and warmth but can bunch at the ankle.

Will the waistband roll down?

A wide high waistband is designed to stay put, but rolling depends on fit and body shape. Sizing to your waist measurement rather than sizing down helps.

What shoes do they work with?

Sneakers, slides and bare feet all work. The slit hem can sit over a low shoe, but chunky high-tops may catch the fabric edge.

Are they squat-proof?

Fabric opacity varies by color and brand, and lighter shades are more likely to show through. Darker colors are the safer choice for bending and squatting.
