Though to make them feel perfect to you, there is maybe enough of a seam allowance on both sides, from the knee down, that a tailor could re-stitch outward to give a bit more ease over your calves (baby cows? that seems like a bad plural for a leg part) for just a few bucks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028688 Sun, 19 May 2019 20:42:16 +0000 Sal 2028688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know exactly what you mean - my calves are muscular and interfere with many trousers and jeans.&nbsp; I think these will be fine and look fab.&nbsp; Love the red on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028686 Sun, 19 May 2019 20:37:10 +0000 Carla 2028686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah! I know what you mean. I just passed on a pair of wine coloured skinnies due to this issue. However, what you are showing is in the acceptable range - and the colour is just so good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028681 Sun, 19 May 2019 20:05:03 +0000 Janet 2028681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this problem all the time too, and my calves are not all that bulky. In fact, I tried on a pair of adorable moto pants at Peruvian Connection that did this so badly it made the knees look very baggy in comparison (they didn’t slide back down my leg when I stood up). </p> <p>It doesn’t bother me in your photos, but I’d pay attention to how it feels, and try wearing around the house for a while to assess. I know it drives me nuts when pants do this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028678 Sun, 19 May 2019 19:56:28 +0000 Elizabeth P 2028678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thank you all for weighing in on these.&nbsp; I think I will keep them... but I do wish the calf was just a half inch bigger.&nbsp; I"m fine with needing to move them down when I stand up, but I don't want them to look strained at my calf with baggy knees above that tight spot.&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I think my next task is to wear them around the house and confirm they'll be ok.They are comfortable, they are a heavyish stretchy denim.&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>chouette22:&nbsp; yup, navy Ecco's.&nbsp; Double twins!&nbsp; My navy ones are a size bigger than my citron ones - which was a total accident.&nbsp; But they are both comfortable, so maybe the navy are a smidge smaller?</div><div><br /></div><div>RE length, they are folded to about an inch above my ankle bone here, which is the length I like to wear jeans like this... it seems right for my body proportions.&nbsp; But I definitely will play around, and take photos,, of them folded an inch and/or more as well.&nbsp; I"m kinda wishing I'd just ordered regular length with these as I think that's where I'll end up!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028578 Sun, 19 May 2019 08:58:58 +0000 Style Fan 2028578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great on you.&nbsp; Love the colour with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028542 Sun, 19 May 2019 04:41:43 +0000 Suz 2028542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this issue all the time with jeans and pants. But honestly, these look nicely slim in the photos to me -- not too snug at all in the calf. I know what you mean, making adjustments can be a pain in the patootie. But these look super versatile and fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028520 Sun, 19 May 2019 02:20:27 +0000 Elizabeth P 2028520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry folks, got sidelined tonight. Will respond tomorrow. </p> <p>Thanks for the input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028507 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:48:01 +0000 Bijou 2028507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour and they look great. However, this issue happens to me too and if the jeans require adjustment, then I just don’t reach for them. So if wearing them you have a fuss factory then I say pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028492 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:24:08 +0000 Jaime 2028492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not have noticed the calves if you had not mentioned them. But what happens when you sit? Are they comfortable? If yes, I say crop to picture #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028471 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:41:48 +0000 Anonymous 2028471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you. They look relaxed and casual, which I assume is the look you are going for? &nbsp;I think they would look great cropped, as Cardiff girl suggested - above your ankle bone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028468 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:33:11 +0000 Jenni NZ 2028468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for full length pic. In full pic I don’t notice the knee bunching. In pic 2 close-up I can. But in the main pic they look great on you to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028460 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:28:04 +0000 chouette22 2028460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are perfect for you and don't look too tight to me in the calves. The length looks great as well. Are those the blue Ecco sneakers? If yes, we are shoe twins again (mine are, however, not yet as comfortable as the citron ones, despite the same size).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028445 Sat, 18 May 2019 23:41:18 +0000 fifthandfinest 2028445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good - are they comfortable? I'm afraid I can't wear anything that isn't anymore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028427 Sat, 18 May 2019 22:30:05 +0000 Allison 2028427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's just the type of pants.&nbsp; I usually have same problem with those types of slim pants.&nbsp; When you sit down, the pant legs get caught on the calves and I usually end up pushing the pant legs down at the knee.&nbsp; Also they fall down as soon as I take a few steps. I usually have more of a problem with the knees stretching out and looking baggy after awhile sitting in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028425 Sat, 18 May 2019 22:23:15 +0000 Cardiff girl 2028425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab colour,they really suit you.Length looks fine to me but it’s difficult to tell from a photo.Are you going for a full length look in which case they are too short or a more cropped summer length look in which case they need to be above the ankle bone or they will just look too short rather than intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028419 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:55:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 2028419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni.&nbsp; Done.&nbsp; And added a question re length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028418 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:54:42 +0000 Jane 2028418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that it is one of those things with these types of trousers may be? They look okay to my eye and it is sometimes that because it is a standing still position that over emphasises it IYKWIM. Do they adjust as you walk? </p> <p>The full length shot is great and I think they look very good!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028409 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:35:08 +0000 Jenni NZ 2028409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Need to see full length to give a proper opinion Elizabeth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-jeans-kr-calf-issues#post-2028407 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:32:40 +0000 Elizabeth P 2028407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love slim pants, but I HATE the way they can catch up on my calves.&nbsp; When they do this, they look so baggy at the knee.&nbsp; Yuck.&nbsp; I just received the red jeans from Boden that Angie/Anchie have modeled here.&nbsp; I like how they fit, but I'm wondering if they are just a smidge tight on the calf.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I think they might be JUST okay, which is why I'd love your opinion... I'm in paranoia borderline territory </p> <p>And if a keep, what are your thoughts on the length?&nbsp; I ordered the talls, with the intent to hem.&nbsp; So these are folded to this length, lots of room for playing around.</p> <p></p>
