Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 527™ Slim Bootcut

Zappos web site says these jeans sit at waist. Sticker on jeans says jeans sit below waist. And they are more stretch than I expected. Should have bought a waist size lower.

I had just purchased a great pair of the 527's at Kohl's so I sought out the same style. The wash color on this pair, "Overhaul", arrived a bit darker than I had expected; the photo displays the stitching more prominently but in reality, it's not nearly as visible. That was a bit of a disappointment. The fit is good, but one could never really call them "comfortable", merely okay. Style? Four stars on that because the slim profile of the garment and the Levi's details (red tag, faux-leather brand/model patch) are of course iconic. .. One big heap of praise for delivery, I received the parcel about 18 hours after ordering, nothing short of phenomenal.

Ordered inseam 30; after measuring when realizing they seemed long, the inseam actually measures closer to 32 inches.

Tight. Guess I’m not made for slim.

My usual size is 34W-32L so that’s what I ordered. Nevertheless, Zappos sent me a pair 30L. The i noticed the tag saying these are to be worn below the waist, so I thought, “maybe the firendly Zappos people are doing me a favor by giving me the two-inch-shorter pair because I’m supposed to wear them lower.” I tried them on with boots and sure enough, they were the right length given that they rode below the waist, and wirh western boots you want the ankle area to show a tad higher. So I kept them. However — I doubt very much if I’ll wear them with any other footwear than boots because the hems on the legs are a bit higher than you would want with regular shoes AND the “boot-cut” legs are SO wide they look like those 70’s bell-bottoms. Sure boot cuts should be wider than a usual cut so pants legs won’t be hanging up on the top of your boot every time you get up from a chair, but this is excessive. An additional note: I bought a pair of straight leg slimfit levis about the same time in my usual size, 34W32L and they fit just as expected and my western boots will actually fit under them, but obviously not as loosely as the “bootcuts.” I notce another reviewer says that the fit of the boot-cuts seems to vary all over the place. With that input I won’t takea chance on ordering another pair

I love Zappos and this style and comfort of Levi’s. My husband has been wearing 33x32s for years. He tried one pair on as I wouldn’t wash them until he did. They were too long and I’m thinking perhaps he is shrinking as he ages and faster than I think! ?? All 6 pair that I ordered had an I seam of 34”, not 32. I’m returning and reordering. I hope the 30” inseam works for him! Thanks for your easy and speedy ship and return policy Zappos!

Husband did not like them as much as the 557 which I don't think they make anymore. Other reviews said they had open bottoms and more room in the seat but he didn't find that. Returned them.

The size was off. I purchased a 32x32 and the length was significantly longer than other jeans that I have purchased in the same sie. I returned.

These are a classic cowboy/rocker look. Nice and wide at the opening, slim and slender up the knee and thigh, with a low-rise that can either show off those sexy hip-bones or allow a bit of hang for yer taco gut!

Ordered the midnight stretch. More of a relaxed slim than the other 527's not super thin more of a medium weight.

I ordered the "Bebop" color and they are STRETCH fabric. No where in the description does it say that this is 2 way stretch material. Ugh!

My husband is tall and thin. These jeans are made of quality material. Very heavy, good for winter. But, they are pretty baggy for slim cut jeans.

My husband ordered this as he was looking for some boot cut jeans - not overly impressed as style was not flattering.

Crotch rips out a lot.

Thin material. Pretty slim except boot area. Too big. Length was long.

I'm 6'8" and can't find much for myself in store... been ordering the same pair of Levi 527 36x36, (which I LOVE) for a few years. However for some reason each color runs a different size.. and this color might as well be a 34 inseam. I thought they would relax after a few washing, but no.... my friends think it's hilarious when I wear them... Me; not so much... :-(

Great pair of 527! Very nice style. Tight on the hips. Not recommended for men with big thighs. Wash with shampoo. Color will fade if you wash with Tide.

Not what I expected. The material is the same as in the picture. But the stitching is different. Also the jeans in the picture are worn and lighter down the middle of the front of the jeans and also in the butt thighs and calves. Not so with the jeans I received. I did make the decision to keep them as they fit good and looked okay. But not the way they look in the picture. Levi's you should be ashamed. You are selling jeans, not big macs and whoppers. It looks one way in the picture, and in reality it looks totally different.

First of all,I love the gen 7 wash, beautiful indigo color, though it does fade kind of fast so wash inside out in cold.....but I'm kind of tired of trying to get Levis to feel like they fit - these are ridiculously snug in the thigh, and I think Levis should follow the trend among designer brands to add a little lycra if they're going to make such restrictive cuts. I SO wanted to like these jeans, and they looked gorgeous when I was standing, just couldn't sit in them. Also got tired of pulling them up in the back. I've owned a few pairs of designer jeans, and decided it's worth the money for me because they just....fit. I'll keep trying to find Levis that feel good- they're so iconic-but I don't have much hope. anymore

The waist of these jeans is more like women's jeans in that it goes in which cut into hubby's little belly -- the Levi's 514 is a much more comfortable fit.

Usually a nice fit, pretty decent quality. The fit of the Levis is all over the place, sometimes I need to order 33 Waist, others maybe 34, or the length will be too short. At Zappos your order already comes with a return shipping label so if they don't fit well you can send them right back for refund or try another size.

517 jean fits great in the waist, but legs & thighs are a little snug. This is the only Levi jean with a higher waist. Wished there were more selection with higher waist. I don't know who can wear the low waisted jeans except the young people. I have worn Levis for over 50 years and now its hard to find one the fits right. Right now I'm wearing 517 waist perfect legs and thigh to tight not really comfortable. But that's all they have. Everybody is not so slim anymore. A jean with higher waist like 517 and with more relax leg and thigh would be great. Zappos is the best place to get your jeans. Not there fault Levi doesn't make jeans for everyone.

I have purchased several pairs of these jeans and the consistency is very poor. I have received the wrong colors, fabric varies and as well as the length. When they come as described they are great, but so far it’s hit or miss!

Like others have said, you are playing the lotto on the fit you get. I bought three pairs of 527's and one fit perfect, the other two were not even close to fitting. I wear a 33 x 32 and the two that did not fit might have fit a 30" waist size if lucky. Good thing for Zappos and their awesome return policy. If you do want to buy these jeans online, you almost need to buy a few different sizes to ensure you get one that fit. The one pair that did fit is great and I would recommend these jeans as long as the size is correct.

wayyyyy slimmer cut that shown in the listing. very low rise, pockets sit on lower half of butt. felt like skinny jeans which is not what I was looking for.
