Bijou - my enthusiasm had waned before I got these too. I certainly had hoped they would fit, but I had feelings of regret before I even received them. Denim is hard enough to fit at the best of times, never mind ordering online with all of those added roadblocks.
Suz - I haven't worn bootcuts in maybe a decade - even longer? I can buy skinnies, straights, BF's etc and they are perfect in length. Always. Bootcuts and flares are hilariously long . I am , however, looking forward to finding the right pair of bootcuts ; I'm dying for a new look too.
