These were a little odd at first. There is an elastic like waist band inside. I’ve never seen this on jeans. They’re comfortable though and just the right length. They’re actually 32” inseam and fit perfect. I don’t see how they’re too long. They’re exactly as they’re advertised. If you aren’t a 32” don’t get these. The bootcut is perfect and is fanatic with my boots!

Fabric does not hold up
These are 5th or 6th pair I've purchased. While they fit well and retain their shape, the fabric does not hold up with wearing. Each pair I've owned gets very worn in the inner thigh, and the fabric tears. I think they last about 5-6 months of wearing 2-3 times/week. These are made for curvy individuals and should hold up to inner thigh friction.

Long, but not THAT long.
I am debating whether to return them I'm afraid they may shrink just enough to make them too short. Right now they look OK, but I don't think I could wear them with the 1.5-2 inch block heel I'd hoped to. Maybe with a 1.5 inch heeled bootie in black, but not a lighter colored shoe. I definitely couldn't wear them with high heels'
That said, I'm 5'10", with long legs. Usually I order from retailers with "tall" sizes, but I have jeans from Paige and DL 1961 that are quite a bit longer than these. The other reviews for these made me think they might be long enough.
I don't expect every pair of jeans to have a long enough inseam for me, I'm unusually tall. OTOH, manufacturers can't only produce jeans for women who are 5'6" and below - that leaves too many potential customers out in the cold. So I really think some of these other reviews are unfair.
These jeans are very nice and would be great for most taller women. One star off because they supposedly have some kind of shaping technology. I noticed no difference in how they "shaped" me, but there is a weird inner elastic waistband that makes the jeans seem sort of old lady-ish (but you can't see it while wearing). If I noticed some miraculous effect, that would be fine. But I don't. They are flattering regular jeans, though.

Look at my picture
If you are really slender you may not love these. They run big in the booty and thighs. I ordered size 2. I’m 5 feet 5 inches and 110 pounds. These are a mid rise and hit me right at my hip bones. I measure 33 inches at the hip and the waistband fits perfectly and is comfortable. The problem with these is I washed and dried them and you can see loose bumpy areas inside my thighs and outside on all of the seams. It’s pretty unsightly. I think if you are curvy you will fill that out and it will look ok but if you are stick straight like me it’s not pretty. The inseam is perfect for flats or heels at my height. I recommend these for curvy women.

HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED
Do not buy if you’re expecting bootcut. These are definitely bell bottoms and waaaay too long. Returning tomorrow!
Not Bootcut!

Súper comfortable but way too long!
Everything texture, color, design etc I loved, but seems to me it’s made for tall girls. I’m an average 5”5 and this jeans even wearing it with heels are just way too too long!

nice but need long / tall options
I love the comfort & stretchy-ness of these (& many other Democracy) jeans. But I have long legs, so even though I’m only 5’7”, I feel like I’m wearing high waters! I know that’s kinda ‘in’ rn, but I wear a good pair for years & like to have them long enough to cover the tops of trainers with maybe ½-1” floor clearance. Even that’s a compromise! I used to wear all bootcuts *just* clearing the floor in flats… no chance with this brand. Otherwise great jeans, but a nonstarter if you have longer legs.

31” inseam for size 8
Soft and comfortable. Slim fit in the thighs, I have slender legs and hips- fits great for my height and inseam. 5’6” I can wear up to a 2” heel. I am so surprised how great these jeans fit.

Too short, as usual
I bought the dark wash--it did NOT have a 32" inseam--closer to 29-30. I am 5'6" and they didn't even reach the bottom of my foot, and I was barefooted. I love the comfort, but Democracy/Nordstrom have to make these jeans that women can wear with SHOES!

Way to long
The product is way too long and even though the material is comfortable having to take 5 to 6 inches off loses any bootcut.
