I was searching for a pair of more tapered jeans as the boot cut jeans that are my staple aren't very neat or functional when paired with Timberland boots however, I was and am adamant that I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of skinny jeans. While these jeans have an exceptionally tapered cut and are very form fitting, they allow more than ample space in the crotch area (so your boys can breathe), fit comfortaly around the thighs and snuggly around the calves without giving that "legging" or "feminine" appearance of so many other brands. They also tuck neatly inside of a pair of Timbs.
