Anyone got BODEN jeans?

If so, which style.
I have just returned a pair of unworn straight/narrowlegs bought last August as they were tight-size 10 but tiny according to reviews so not just me- all other Boden 10s fot me!
They have kindly given me a credit .
I am tempted to try this year's narrow legs but may have to size up to a 12, or the bootlegs.
Are bootlegs now out of fashion?
Anyone got a pair? Is the waist really high?

Also- anyone had them shortened- i am 29-30" leg so will either have to roll up the hem orpay to have them shortend.

I too got the Boden straight legs from the winter in a size 10 and they were ok. However, got this season's straight legs in a 12 as all reviews said they were much smaller. They are fine in a 12 but I do need to wear a belt - think the 10 would have been too small though! I too have short legs and they don't need shortened.

so you think this season's are smaller than last season's?

Maybe I had better go for the 12- gulp. I need to lose 4lbs and am so reluctant to size up!

They have got 17.5% off til end of today.

They are definitely smaller!!

I'd go for straightleg jeans. I'm not a slave to fashion but boot leg looks a bit 'over' to my eye...

As you have a credit note, I won't waste my breath telling you that Boden jeans have no design on the back pocket and are a bit 'featurless' imo. Uniqlo would do straightleg jeans for £20

I have ordered a 10 and a 12 straight leg @ 17.5% off. Expect they will go back and may well try Uniqlo. Would have to pay for alterations though as they are all 33 " leg and I am 29-30 leg.

I love their straight jeans. They are the one thing that I always buy from them, as do my friends! Im average but go up a size and I always get the long leg as I prefer them longer.
