Hem boot cut jeans for flats or heels?

RedM

I bought a pair of Paige Hidden Hills bootcut jeans today. I see what all the fuss is about--the fit is amazing. I am typically on team flats, but I do have a comfortable pair of heeled oxfords I wear regularly. Will I lose the leg line if these are hemmed for flats?

Yes, the sad thing about boot cuts is you must pick the heel height you'll be wearing them with and hem for that. Also, typically they'll look better with a bit of a heel, so if the oxfords are comfortable, maybe they'll be your jean shoe?

I hem all my new bootcuts for moderate heels (I don't wear very high heels). That way, once they shrink after a lot of washing/drying (yes, I put my premium denim in the dryer, and I don't think they really suffer-the shrinking only happens very slowly over many washes), the older ones can be worn with flats.

I go by the mantra, the wider the opening, the higher the heel So yes, I'd hem bootcuts for a heel.
