Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 508™ Regular Taper

I hate buying jeans. I always have. I am a former soccer player, and have big legs, so finding jeans that fit in the waist, seat, and legs is a nightmare. If I pick jeans that fit in the waist, the legs are always slouchy and too big, and if I find jeans that fit in the legs, the waist is always too small. I'm a big fan of tailored (not super skinny, but slim) cut jeans, and those are just impossible to find overall. Not anymore. These jeans are top notch. They fit, the denim is the perfect weight (I travel a lot, so these would be possible to pack without adding a lot of weight), and the cut is perfect. I'm 1.83m (about 6'2"), and they are not only stylish, but comfortable. I can't say enough good things about these jeans. A footnote: Zappos is amazing. I ordered these at 4.30pm yesterday and it's now 1.30pm and they have arrived. I don't even know how they do it, but they do. Amazing. Oh, and they are less than the exact same jeans at Macy's. Again Zappos = Amazing with a capital A.

The 508s are great.Collect them all! The fit is relaxed in the waist and hip. Then it tapers from the knee to the small leg opening. Fits well over most shoes/boots , as long as they arent too bulky. You should consider sizing down from your usual waist size. Especially in the select colors like Black(Tazer)which have the 2% spandex for extra stretchiness. Overall a great pair of jeans that fit as well as some more expensive designer jeans from the knee down. Finally Levi's has the fit I've been looking for in the 508.

These jeans are awesome. They have an incredibly comfortable fit without being tight, and they are a very high quality. They are stylish, and go with just about any outfit. I bought three different pairs, and will absolutely buy Levi's in the future. A great jean brand for the price.

I ordered this Jeans on Tuesday at 5PM and I received it the next day Wednesday (at 10:00AM). The shipping with Zappos is so fast, plus I didn't pay anything (free). The Levis 521 jean is so comfy and the slim fits just well. I already had it (Color Black). I liked so much that I ordered this one (light washed blue).

Great fit. I normally wear a 28, but had to size up to a 29 in this cut. Great wash, nice trim fit.

These jeans are awesome! I bought the 36" x 36" for my husband who's 6'5" and he loves them. They are the perfect taper and are long enough for him to cuff which is what he wanted. I ordered 5 different styles of Levi's for him to try on and he liked the 521's the best. I sent the others back and ordered him another pair of the 521's in the Rigid color. And, at the price they're a steal!!

Let me start off by saying that these jeans are the most comfortable jeans, I've ever worn. These jeans have stretch and feel like you are wearing sweat pants, which is fantastic, IMO. Overall, I would definitely recommend these jeans with the caveat, if you like some stretch (through out the jean not just the waist) & taper in your jeans. I just wish there were more colors.

Favorite jeans now! These are great. They are tapered and have the slim leg, without the super low-rise top like most other slim fit pants. One thing though... they shrunk quite a bit when I washed them after about a month. Hang 'em out to dry y'all!!

These are the closest I have found to my ideal jeans. Nice taper, but not so tight the whole way up that I have to worry about bulges, if you know what I mean. As some others have said, these look best with sneakers. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is that the waist is strangely large. It feels like a size too big. I'll order another pair and see if it's just these or what --as is typical with Levis, I had another pair in a diff. style, and they were way too tight. So, eh. This one pair is great.

I have mixed feeling about these jeans. I love the taper to the legs, I love the color but I cant get used to the fit in the crotch area. Its hard to explain but it seems like these jeans are comprised of two different cuts.

These are great pants! I really like the way that they fit and they're perfect for cuffing. I usually rock these with some Vans and funky socks.

I had been unable to find tapered-leg jeans anywhere that would fit me. No brick-and-mortar store carries them. Online, one place advertised taper but sent straight leg and when I called them, they checked and found that they don't sell taper! My first set from Zappos in my usual size was too big, so I returned them and got some with 1 and 2 inches less in the waist, and those are fine.

I love these jeans and am very sad that the Rigid Envy version has been discontinued. They are super comfortable and fade perfectly. No manufactured ridges, no fake wear lines. I tried the other washes and they are nowhere near as nice.

Levi's 508's are the perfect fit for me. I am only sad that there are so few choices of colors. Zappos is amazing. Ease of ordering, fast delivery, good communication. I will be back.

Great slim jean for athletic build. If you need extra room in the seat and thigh, but don't want a loose fit, this is a good cut. Also, nice taper to a small leg opening. As others noted, the waist runs about 1 size larger than most jeans.

These jeans fit nicely, not too snug and not too loose. The stitching is light colored, but did not bother me, just different than thread that matches.

Yes! Exactly what I was looking for! Slim, modern fit but not tight (not tight in the waist, the crotch or the legs!). It seemed like other jeans I tried on were either Spandex-tight super-skinny jeans (which felt, oddly, like I was trying on my wife's jeans), or way too wide in the thighs and legs (what one might have worn circa 1998). I am a small, lean 41 year-old, and normally wear a size 30 or 31. Fascinatingly enough, both the 30 and the 31 fit...the size 30 is made-to-measure perfect, the 31 has a bit of extra room but still looks great.

I bought these pants for my boyfriend and he loves them. Usually he has to try pants on before he buys them, but these were a perfect fit. They have the look of a skinny jean but don't fit too tight in the seat and thighs. The denim itself is quite rigid but that is is another feature that he also likes. Fast delivery was a bonus!

Bought my firs pair of 508's at Kohl's to check for size an fit. Price at Zappos was way cheaper. Super fast delivery and free delivery.

My grandson loves the fit of these Levi's 508 Jeans. Unfortunately, I believe Levi's is discontinuing the 508's. They are the only style that fit him. I hope they come out with a newer version of these same jeans. The Quincy is his favorite color.

My son loves these pants and they are very hard to find except at Zappos! They are the best! I always get my packages the next day and the service could not be any better!

I have been wearing these three weeks and I love the 508s. The style I bought has dark/non-contrast stitching and fits a little looser than my 511s in the crotch and waist, but is still small enough in the leg to work well with cycling (pants leg can be easily rolled or folded for safety). I got multiple unsolicited compliments on these, which is not common for me because I am not a very stylish person.

I am medium to slim build (5'-8", 155lbs; typical jeans size 31w 30inseam) but I've been a lifelong soccer player and I have soccer player legs. None of the skinny jeans fit me lest I squeeze myself in and subject myself to jeans paralysis (like the snowsuit paralysis from "A Christmas Story") or order waist size that is two or three sizes larger just to let the thighs to fit. Enter Levi's 508 - generous around the thighs, yet with a noticeable taper that allows for a signature skinny fit look especially around the hem - perfect solution for my type of body. Also, availability in 29" inseam is perfect for my height since there is no need to roll up the hem and avoid the sloppy bunching up that takes away from the skinny jeans look. Overall very satisfied. I have 508 in Blue2, Quincy and Tumbled Merlin. A note about Blue2 - its dye stinks so you may want to soak and rinse several times before wearing it for the first time.
