oh man, now I want them! Do you guys think they would work on someone with scrawny chicken legs? I'd probably have to wear them with my jeans tucked in right?
i think they could work. the thing is the slouch is built in. i probably won't do a good job of explaining it, but they're stitched in a way that means they'll maintain a certain level of slouchiness regardless of if they are worn up or down. if they were straight slouchy boots, i'd probably pass, since they'll fall down, but i think they'll maintain the slouchy shape regardless.
also they're a pull on style, so it might be easier to take them in than a pair of boots with a zipper.
I find that with thinner legs they stay better if you flip the top flap up and wear them tall (they'll still slouch). I find that the flap make them too havy and they kind of fall all the way down my legs when I wear them the regular way (unless I tuck my jeans into them, in which case they stay fine). HTH!
