These are really great jeans. Not too high and not too low in front. At hip rather than waist. Very comfy and the right amount of stretch.

Very pleased with these jeans. I am a full size woman and have a tough time finding jeans that fit in the thigh and rear area. These are great and will order more. Very happy.

I bought these six years ago. I wore them fairly frequently (average a day or two a week), the three pairs I bought started to develop holes in them at the same time. I ordered new ones. The fit is exactly the same if not somehow nicer. I like it when an item of clothing that I like continues to be available when the original wears out. Thank you, Levi's. I rated them four stars for style because I am probably not that stylish, but they do not offend my style sensibilities at all.

Levi uses very nice fabric to make its jeans. And the color choices are amazing. The patterns on the back pockets are cute but not loud. I now I wear them to work because they are slimming and comfy. With a blazer on top, I am good for the office environment. They also look nice with sneakers when I go lunchtime walk. Always enjoy Zappos where you can find great products with speedy shipping and first class service.

Plain jeans, hallelujah. These are now my go-to straight leg jeans (in Studio Blue). Size runs a bit small, I had to go up from my usual 4 to a 6, and the waist-hip difference isn't as good for curvy gals as 525's but it's a true straight leg jean so I'll wear my belt! The rise & look is similar to men's 501's but these are definitely cut for women and really look like Levi's: no trendy back pockets or odd stitching that'll be dated in a few years (on the Studio Blue). Beware though, that's not true for all the colors! When I get the money I'll buy a couple more Studio Blue 505 Levi's straight legs to get me through the next few decades because worst case I'll have them on hand & more likely Levi's is going to mess with the style again & I won't buy Levi's for another 20 years until the designers ramble back to the classic.

Bought these in the Studio Blue color and really like them. I had been looking for boyfriend jeans for so long, but none have been flattering on me. I wanted a slightly loose pair of jeans that I could roll up and cuff at the ankles to wear with wedge sandals and these are perfect! I have kind of big thighs and these give me just enough room for my legs. I am usually a size 8 in Levi's, but in this style and color, I was a size 6.

These are my favorite jeans, ever. They are so comfortable, and fit perfectly below the waist. Just the right amount of stretch but hold their shape. Owning these has made it difficult to wear any other pair of pants in my closet. Not kidding.

Love these jeans. Great color. Great fit. Levi's has always made good jeans true to size. You can't go wrong with Levi's.

These are my favorite Levi style. Could not find them anywhere but Zappos! The fit is perfect for anyone who needs some coverage in the rear, and the waist sits right below the waist line so they are perfect. Sizing is true in this style. Hope to continue to be able to find them at Zappos!

I was looking for a pair of comfortable jeans and I found them. Now they don't hug my frame but I wanted a little breathing room without sacrificing style. I am happy with my purchase.

I love the way Levi's jeans fit. I can buy a pair of Levi's and have them last a handful of years. I wear my jeans all the time and Levi's fit great, are durable, and make me look good year after a year.

Great fit, not too stretchy they hold their shape and the straight leg is just right...not too Skinny Jean looking. I've ordered several lengths to wear with flats and taller heels.

I like these jeans alot. They fit me well, plus fabric is a good quality. I like the fact that they are straight legged. I am 5 foot 8 inches. The regulars were to short, but the longs are about 2 inches to long. So far after 2 washings they are still to long. So I will be hemming them.

I now own these jeans in three different washes. I'm very pleased. They are light weight, which is perfect during hot flashes. I'm long waisted, so many jeans are uncomfortably low and try to fall off me. These have an extra inch or so in the rise, which really helps, but doesn't make them 'mom' jeans either.

I am in love with these jeans - they are Levi's for one, and they fit amazing! They are super comfy and long enough to wear with boots. The pockets are the cutest and they are nice and soft after just a wash. I am even more excited because there are a size down from my last shopping trip (thanks to a million miles on the treadmill) and I bought them my next size down too! Love!

They arrived insanely fast and fit like a dream. I'm almost 5'9" tall and these jeans have the perfect inseam for my long legs. I don't recall ever owning a pair of jeans that were as long in the legs as these...I think we are going to have a great relationship.

I absolutely loved these jeans, so I bought another pair. Oh no! The buttoned back pockets have changed to regular back pockets. Levi's! What have you done???

These jeans do stretch out rather fast. Like most jeans, the dye across the front is striped which I don't like. Since so many jeans have this I must conclude that is to make them look more worn. Other then that I like these jeans.

Super cute pockets on these jeans! That's the main reason I bought them. The only thing I am disappointed with, is how quickly they stretch out when you wear them. I have to wear a belt on my jeans to keep them up, and I don't have a small waist either. I am 5'10" and a size medium. The size 8L fit me best because of how much the jeans stretch as you wear them. They are baggy on me the 2nd day. I would recommend these jeans, but just wear them around the house a few hours before deciding to keep them, to tell how much they will stretch on you.

This is a great fit for me. I love that these are still longer in length after washing/drying. I'm 5'8" and long-waisted, and there was no trouble with the waistline falling at at weird place. I had some gapping at the back waist because I think my bottom is too big for this style though. I would not recommend these if you're a traditional pear shape. More a style for a somewhat-hourglass with average thighs because the cut on the thighs is slim. The denim's a nice quality and stayed dark through many washings for me. I like the fit and would buy these again. The back pockets stick out a little when you have your phone in them, though -- if you have a high backside and carry a backpack or sling your large handbag over towards the back because the back pockets come up higher on the hip than some other brands/styles.

Several years ago i purchased 505's from a Levi's outlet. They were great; 100% cotton, felt more like boyfriend jeans than anything. I finally had to give them up. Googled 505 womens straight leg and these popped up. While I like them they are different-they have some lycra in them and they have decorative stitching on front and back pockets. The fabric is thinner also. Next time I will get my butt off the couch and go to the outlet store to try on jeans.

I love these jeans, but you do need to order one size smaller. I normally wear a 14, I ordered a 14, and I even washed and dried them, and they still after a couple of hours are too big in the hips and butt. The waist fits me ok as I am straight waisted, not an hour glass figure. But they do wear well and still look great after washing and drying on normal.

Love these jeans. Very comfortable and stylish. They do, however, run a little bit big, so I would recommend getting a size smaller than you are used to wearing.

Very nice wash and fit. Definitely order a size down. I'm an 8 in just about every brand, including different fits within the Levi's product line, and I needed a 6 in this one.

I love these jeans! I was looking for something to replace my "old" Levis that my teenagers didn't particularly like (too mom-like). I bought 3 pair of these, and my girls loved them (and so do I!). They do stretch out CONSIDERABLY, though, during the first wearing and laundering brings them back to their original sizing but only for a couple of hours so if you are anywhere near between sizes, I'd size down. The 'larger' pair I'll need to wear a belt with (the kids say it looks fine), the smaller pairs fit like a glove!
