While I'm only 6' even, and I have small feet (9 to 9 1/2 womens), I have
VERY long legs (approx. 35" inseam).  So, I've had the same problem.  The
best ones I've found were Just My Size 1X's.  Note that 3X's are not
necessarily taller than 1X's.  Read the size chart on the display or on
the back of the package.  Just My Size are the only pantyhose I can wear
more than once (any others I've tried run very quickly).

Just a suggestion.
