Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 508™ Regular Taper

I bought these jeans because I squat and was hoping to find something comfortable that fit my thighs, unfortunately these jeans are not the solution. They are way too tight around the thigh even though they fit well and make your butt look good. I will wear them for a night out but I'd never choose to wear them as my normal jeans. In addition these jeans stank terribly when I opened them up. A run through the washer fixed it but man was it bad. Overall they look good, but they are way too tight in the thigh even when the waist is accurate if you lift.

I have owned 508's in the past. They seem to have different color options and the quality is a bit lower. The color I ordered is a bit faded, and too much sanding on fabric.

It's difficult to rate these jeans higher than 3 stars based on the sizing. I own a lot of 508's and some vary in fit depending on the material. But these are maybe 4 inches too bit in the waist...which is nuts. I'm sure they are fine jeans but the sizing is completely incorrect.

I have several of 508 jeans, and really like the style. For some reason, the ones I just ordered are excessively long. Probably will need to return because so long.

Being a bigger guy that is not very tall I have trouble finding jeans that fit well above the knees without being too wide on the bottom and dragging on the ground. I like to wear Chuck Taylors with jeans and these are the only ones that allow me to do that without stepping on them all day long. The fit between the different washes can be inconsistent though. Some of them use traditional 100 percent cotton denim and some are made of stretch denim. The stretch denim washes seem to be cut a bit larger and gave me a little room without even stretching the fabric. When I tried them in my normal size they were way too big and I had to size down. The all cotton wash seems to be more true to size because when I tried the same size as what I got in the stretch denim they were very tight. I'm not exactly sure why they make different washes of the same style number with totally different fitting fabric. It makes it very difficult to find the right size without having to ship them back and forth several times. It seems many of the stores in my area do not keep these in stock so getting them online is the best, and sometimes only, option. The overall cut is great if I get the right size but it is just annoying that the fit from wash to wash is so inconsistent. All that being said, Zappos is great and I love shopping with them.

Like another reviewer I am smaller in the waist and thicker through the butt/legs. No one makes stylish jeans for this body type (actually, I have had success with Buffalo). This is a great attempt by Levi's...the jeans fit my waist and legs and look stylish. However, I am on the shorter side (30" inseam) and the waist comes too high. So it looks a little awkward and grandpa-like for such a cool pair of jeans. Returning, but happy Levi's came so close.

I was looking for a pair of slim fitting jeans with a narrow hem i.e. not baggy. I can't wear skinny jeans as I can't get my thighs into them. These are perfect in that aspect but they are very loose in the seat/crotch area. Way too much excess denim which bunches when I sit down. The waist also has a weird elastic material which may suit some people. I tried the size down (waist 34) which was better but a little too tight in the seat/crotch area. The 511's are a better fit for me.

I bought a pair in a store last year. They are awesome! These from Zappos are slightly different. They're much thinner, and have a spandexy stretchiness to them. They are slightly looser fitting in the waist than normal Levi's. I should have sent them back, but washed them before I noticed.

This version of the Levi's 508 is very poor quality. The fabric is thinner and looks cheap. I have purchased previous versions in Europe, and they are almost completely different in fit, finish, and fabric quality. How can two pairs of jeans with the same labels be so drastically different???!!!!

I would recommend ordering a size smaller than normal. But, I'm returning because the description as a taper to a skinny is complete false. Did not nearly fit as expected.

I'd avoid these if I were you. A few years ago I ordered a pair of these jeans in "Rigid Envy" color - still love them, among my favorite pants. Recently I ordered a pair of these in "Rinsed Playa" - same 508's, same size. The new pair are made out of some kind of stretch denim and look like "mom jeans" - very unflattering. Levis' can be hit or miss. Stick with 505's.

Awful jeans; ordered size 32 but more like size 36; Levis quality has gone down considerably; returning them and never buying Levis again; Zappos should do some quality check but least I can return them I hope!

I wore these jeans for about 3 days. I thought they looked good and they were pretty comfortable. Today I bent down and the entire knee ripped. If this is what I can expect from Levi's in terms of quality, I'm done. Honestly, I feel taken advantage of especially because most of their jeans have never lasted me long in the first place. I'm done wasting my money with Levi's.

These pants are made with some kind of stretchy material mixed with denim that is not mentioned in the description and fit much bigger than they should. I am very unhappy with my purchase.

I thought all Levi's jeans has standard size. I always buy 32 x 29 and never had a problem with the waist size before. This time I can slide my jeans without unbutton it.
