I think that unless you get some with a strap that goes under your foot that's attached to the bottom of the leggings or modify it to have some, that you will always have that crease because you're moving around.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I would imagine this is twofold: fit and material.
- For fit, if the leggings are too tapered at the bottom, and you have a defined or larger calf, the legging will attempt to move to the narrower area above the calf. Alternatively, if they are not tapered enough, and they are below the calf normally, but rising up onto it, you need more taper to keep that from happening. Just dont go so tight you cut off blood flow.
- For material, the amount of spandex plays a big role in fit. Too much, and it will easily stretch around your calf and move, too little and it won't conform properly. If they are 100% polyester, thickness will play the same role.
What materials and percentages are they?
Disclaimer: I do not wear leggings, but I do wear base layers biking and backpacking, and sew, so I have some limited knowledge here.
Wait.
Like the front?
I have exactly 1 pair of "leggings" and now like 3 pairs of estimated long johns. The former is for exercise, the latter is for warmth but both are equally excellent for general movement.
If you want less crease I'm imagining.. possibly stiffer material.
I read this as "legs creasing below the knees"
That's a separate issue that's usually solved by having bones.
Drop a tungsten rod from space and have it land on your leggings.
No more leggings!

Just wear cutoff jeans to workout instead.
I don't have solid answer for you; I have no experience with leggings. I have had to put effort into finding pants that fit me appropriately, and that made a big difference in comfort and confidence. Rise was a big part of the equation for that item of clothing, but it related to fit in the groin. Ultimately, the correct rise led to better fit down leg. YMMV. Good luck!
