Product Review: Jean Straps
I’ve been looking for a pair of skinny jeans to wear with boots for approximately 47 years, but haven’t been able to find any that don’t make me look like J.Lo with toothpicks for legs. Not too long ago, I noticed someone tweeting about Jean Straps, & was intrigued. I could wear my regular jeans tucked into boots without readjusting constantly?? Yes please! So I emailed Jean Straps to ask if they would be interested in a review, & they agreed. Last weekend I decided to put them to the test.
The concept of Jean Straps is that you attach them to the bottom of any pair of jeans, virtually turning them into stirrup pants, and they keep your jeans tucked snugly into your boots.
The last time I wore stirrup pants was when I was about 12. I wore them with a side ponytail, an oversized T-shirt, and bedazzled Keds. I don’t really want to talk about it.
I just solved the Mystery of Bigfoot! She lives in my bathroom.
Sorry about the terrible lighting in my bathroom, it’s my least favorite thing in life. I’m always all “Did I just put on blush or eyeliner?” Anyway, you get the general idea.
So I wore them Friday evening & all day Saturday. Friday night they were perfect & I never even noticed they were there. I loved that I didn’t have to mess with my jeans. Usually I’m tucking/pulling/tugging/sweating/really close to taking my pants off & calling it a day. Saturday they got a little uncomfortable while shopping & walking for a long time, but that was probably because the jeans I wore were a little on the short side so the straps were slightly pulling on my arches. Also my boots are comfortable but maybe not comfortable enough to wear for 12 hours straight.
At the end of Friday night, everything is still intact! Jean Straps = success!
Pancho & Leia love Jean Straps!
My verdict is: if you don’t own/love skinny jeans, and/or you want to wear your normal jeans tucked into boots, buy a set of Jean Straps. They’re really reasonably priced (only $9.99!). I plan on trying them out with my cowboy boots when I go to the Rodeo in March. Yeah girl!
Note: Jean Straps sent me a complimentary pair of straps to review. No monetary compensation was received for this post.
ooh these are a fantastic idea! I feel like a Jonas Brother in my skinny jeans…

Cool! I will have to get a pair for my daughter and I… She loves her skinny jeans, but like you, she still has to adjust them and it pisses my 9 year old off like CRAZY!! Thanks for the info!!

I caved and bought skinny jeans.
I think Jean Straps look like those things you can put on the corners of your fitted sheets to make sure they don’t slide around.

Cute idea! I just pin mine at the back if I’m having trouble…but I don’t struggle with this because I own mostly skinny jeans because I’m such a relentless hipster at heart lol

Great review! Jean Straps just sent me a pair to try out and I can’t wait to review them. Also, hilarious that one of your dogs is named Leia! That’s my name!!

I think I need some of these…except I read at their site “not recommended with boot cut jeans.” Basically every pair I own. So I guess I need new jeans too. Poop.

I definitely need those. I want to tuck my jeans into boots, but skinny jeans aren’t very flattering on me.

Oh, awesome. I NEED THESE. Thanks for the review.
Also, thanks for being so skinny that you make me hate myself. Effff.
But mostly, thanks for the review.

What a great idea! I like skinny jeans and have two pair that work for me BUT I have a ton of other jeans that I wish would fit into my boots so I may have to check this out. Ingenious idea.
I think I need cowboy boots next. I may have to come visit you to find a good pair. And I still need some ideas on where to start in terms of country music. =)

Thanks for this review.
I bought them after seeing this.. can’t wait! Attempting to keep jeans inside my boots pretty much ruins it for me.
