Madewell review

Madewell's Relaxed Bootcut Jeans are the high-rise bootcut to pick if length is your main problem. Madewell describes them as a relaxed, high rise, slim through the thigh and knee with an elongated full-length bootcut, in a Comfort Stretch fabric of 96% Regenagri certified cotton, 3% elastomultiester and 1% elastane. The standard fit is designed for 5'4" to 5'8" with a 30" to 32" inseam, and the same jean comes in Petite, with a proportional rise and a 2" shorter inseam, Short, with a 2" shorter inseam, and Tall, with a 3" longer inseam, plus a plus size chart. Few bootcuts on this list offer that many lengths on one style. The jean is sold only on Madewell.com and costs $148, well above Wrangler's $69.99 High Rise Bold Boot or Kut's $119 Natalie.
