Shopping at Zappos is easy and very efficient. I could not believe that my order arrived the next day with free shipping.

Very nice! Comfortable, very stylish, and worth the money. Levi jeans are the best jeans out there!

I am a size 34 x 32 so that is what I ordered and they fit perfectly. I am happy with the pants in every way. Zappos service, as always, was fantastic.

hat can I say. If you have worn the 501 then you know how great they are. I purchased several pairs from Zappos and found the sizes true and the jeans to the standard of Levi. I have trouble finding the 501 in my size but was able to find six in different colors. You cannot go wrong with these.

Perfect jeans, exactly what my husband has worn for years. I don't have to shop. Good price, free shipping, perfect service, can't beat it!

These fit well and look great. The wash is very true to what's shown in the photos.
Something to consider is that due to the treatment of this particular denim style these jeans catch lint pretty easily. It's not quite as bad after washing but you'll definitely notice it in your first wear. It's not too bad and a lint brush takes care of it, just wanted to mention it in case that's a dealbreaker for somebody.

I looked everywhere for a pair of white levi\'s in my size, and could not fine them, until I went to Zappos.com. There they were, exactly what I wanted. Free shipping both ways was the motivating factor. Execellent service Zappos. I will do all my shopping on your site first here forward.\r\n

These "Rinse" color 501s are way smaller than the lighter colors of the same size. I went into Macy's to try on a bunch of 501s and what I found is that the sizing is completely inconsistent. Moral of the story: be prepared to try on lots of pairs of 501s before you find the one that fits you (and don't trust the sizing information). Otherwise, jeans look slick and hip, yo.

These are my go-to jeans. I wear them pretty much all the time for work, school, commuting on my bicycle. They are durable, comfortable, and contribute to my overall relaxed demeanor. They are not the most stylish thing to wear, that's why I give em four stars, for me though they are perfect. I always have at least one pair, and they last me about a year each, give or take.

I only buy these, since they work for me so well. If it ain\'t broke... though I do like 511s for a more styled look.

If you like crispy hard jeans, like we wore in the early eighties, these jeans are it. They fit snugged after a wash.

Great jeans. They run small so they fit snug. They feel solid, yet soft. Definitely a pair of jeans that will last and look good.

Good fit. They're the real deal. I was going to purchase them from Amazon's site but people were complaining about the possibility of them being knock-offs. These from Zappos have the fit, finish, and materials of the genuine article. Delivery was super fast.

On my 4th pair... nice rigid denim that won't stretch out and sag so much as regular unwashed denim. I would size up up to one size in the waist (if you have skinnier hips you can get away with sticking with your natural waist size) and 2 inches in length. Great color wash after wash. I just soak them in hot soapy water for perhaps a half hour, and then slip then on wet until they are dry. I wouldn't ever put them in the dryer unless you require maximum shrinkage, other than that your guaranteed a great fit and without the high maintenance of designer raw denim. They're 501s; iconic.

I usually buy Levi's from Sears but I have had some bad experiences lately. When I saw Zappos sold them I jumped to buy them. They are Levi originals, priced well and the shipping is amazing. I would definitely buy again.

I typically wear 30x30, ordered 31x32 shrink-to-fit and after a standard wash and dry cycle, they fit perfect and are soft and comfy.

Great jeans. I like mine to fit loose, so I sized up 4 inches in the waist, and 2 inches in length. Perfect. And, as always, Zappos is #1 in service and selection.

Women take note! I used to wear the Women's 501s -- which are no longer made -- and everything else I tried on to get the same fit failed. I even tried a pair of the men's 501 in a 30W, thinking the 30W was the smallest waist Levi's made, and I swum in those. They kept falling down. Then I discovered that Levi's makes a 28W and a 29W: hooray! Levi's did not have the 28 or 29 on their website, but Zappos did! I rushed to order 4 different sizes to try, and kept the 28W30, that fit perfectly. Warning: if you're curvy the men's 501s will not fit, but if you are fairly boyishly built, like me--duh--they will fit well. For those who miss the women's 501s, do not despair. The 501s still live, thanks to Zappos, who carries every size 501 in the world!

Levi\'s always make the best jeans for the best price and this is no exception. Looks great but took a while to break in.

Levi's have always been my favorite jeans brand. They always fit as if they were tailored for my body, and this one wasn't the exception. Perfect fit, extreme comfort and durability make me come back for them again and again. They're not the cheapest, but are worth every penny, for the years you'll wear them.

My boyfriend got these and he loves they way they fit, not like those skinny jeans everyone is wearing now. Perfect fit! Thank you Zappos for having long sizes because my boyfriend is tall!
