Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 527™ Slim Bootcut

Ordering Levis 527 jeans reminds me of buying peaches at a big corporate grocery store: they are wildly inconsistent; when they are off, they're really off; and when they're good, they're great. I have five pairs of these jeans in different colors, and every single pair fits differently. It's like Levis has a whole range of patterns for the 527, because they are definitely not made the same way every time! I bought one pair with a 31 inseam to wear with boots, and it was actually shorter than my usual 30 inseam. Another pair was so tight in the thighs and crotch that my wife and I burst out laughing because they looked so ridiculous. Then the next pair, same exact size, looks sublime. If it wasn't for Zappos round trip free shipping, there is no way ever that I would buy these jeans online, because there's no telling what you'll get from pair to pair. Get some QA Levis! What happened to your manufacturing?

I won't subtract any stars for the great Levi's product (or for Zappos great service), but wanted to write to give some fit advice. I like bootcut jeans and am not a fat guy, but years of competitive skiing and cycling have given me pretty muscular legs. Both the Levi's 527s and 517s are too tight in the thigh and seat for me, so be forewarned if you have athletic thighs.

Great pair of jeans. I would call these a slim bootcut as well, since I'm fairly skinny and this cut is tight in the thigh area. I've bought the Overhaul, Andi, and the Midnight. I like all three but it should be noted that the Andi is a lighter weight denim, thinner than the others.

I have been buying 527s for nine or so years now. I think they are just simply that great. They look good, and fit me well. My only caveat would be that I am not sure what the normal life span of a pair of jeans is, but a pair of these usually last me two years. Eventually either the crotch will blow out, the knees will thin and start a hole, or the back pocket will rip off - or a combination of all three. So everlasting utility jeans they are not. But these actually look good so I guess that is the trade off.

Great everyday jeans. Some comments said the denim on the Andi style was a little thin. I disagree; although it is not overly thick, it is not thin and perfect for the current fall days. The fabric clings to your body in all the right places without being tight and the sanded look is on trend.

Color consistency not good. Not sure what Levi is doing here but two out of three 'Tumbled Black' I received were a dark gray, not black like the third and like I have received before, poor. Will try some Rit dye I guess.

These jeans are amazing! I'm always looking for jeans that are fitted and look nice, and these are the perfect fit. They are probably more catered to slim guys since they are tighter in the thigh areas.

The cut of these pants changes depending on the color (if can believe that). These are the best looking, fitting, and most comfortable pants for me at 6'2", 190 pounds. I got a 34W x 36L. I will only buy these and the Rigid Blue color in the future. I have tried several others.

Great fit! Only style of jeans my husband wears. Vert flattering fit. Love the super fast shipping.

I have been wearing these for years and they always deliver. Comfy, durable, and stylish.

I had purchased this same style about 2 years ago. They are great jeans but after a dozen or so washes the length got a bit too short, so I reordered them on Sunday two inches longer. I just received them today. The style appears to be a little different and the material seems a bit thinner than they were, but still they are great jeans. Of course Zappos is awesome; love the fact that they carry clothing now as well. I got a complimentary upgrade to two day shipping without even asking for it.

I've ordered several pairs of these jeans from Zappos. They're fantastic, but the pair I recently ordered in Andi are made of a slightly lighter material and run longer than other pairs. The material difference is minor, but if I ordered the Andi again I'd consider dropping one size in length, mine did run very long.

The fabric on these jeans is thinner than heavier, so they are very flexible--something key to a nice pair of broken-in jeans. I have not experienced anything wrong with the construction, and the stitching is quite nice. The sizing is very accurate on these. Ordering jeans online is usually a hit or miss, but these are great.

I bought these jeans for my son... his favorite pair. Just ordered another in a different color. They fit and look great.

I got the Andi jeans. They are sharp and clean and just what I was looking for. Dress up nicely and fine for a casual day. Thickness and weight are good.

I find these jeans very comfortable and very well made. They hold their shape and fit even through many washings.

I have purchased 527's for my three boys (ages 22-18) for two years now. They love them and have them in every wash.

This is the jean I have committed to. It fits right for a tall, skinny build. Love the contrast white stitching- I own five or six pairs, three of which have come from the great people at Zappos.

Wow! Ordered a 36x36", and its the most generous 36" length I've ever received. Pants do get a little saggy by the end of day with the low rise. Great value for a tall guy!

I bought these for my husband and he looks great in them! They are true to size and he says they are very comfortable. Great price!

Zappos is the best, with fast delivery! Very helpful and great quality shoes, boots, and clothing!

Great jeans. It’s hard for me to find a pair of jeans that doesn’t sag in the butt. I wear these all day and they never sag. Good luck wearing boots with these. I wear slip-on boots and have to cut the bottoms and customize it so it will fit right, and if I do that, I can’t wear any other shoes with them because I cut them. So, if you’re going to buy these jeans, wear Chuck Taylors or any kind of Converse.

These look great on my husband. He needed and updated look and these due the trick. Love the color and the fit.

Without a doubt my go to jeans. I have a few pairs of the 527 Levi's as well as the 514's. Low rise is the way to go comfort wise, and the boot cut helps it go with many styles of shoes/boots. Cannot recommend more, for the price these are perhaps the best jeans out there.

This was one of the best online purchase I have bought in that it fit well and was nicely packaged. The better thing however was the service provided by Zappos. I am definitely a returning customer.
