I hesitated a bit after reading other reviews, but was absolutely delighted when I tried these jeans on.  I ordered "Blue Wave" and the color was true to what's shown here.  The fit was terrific - perfect for me.  I'm about 5 foot 6 1/2 tall and the medium was perfect.  I think after about 5 foot 8, you may need to order tall.  The fabric is not extremely thin as you would expect in "cheap" jeans, and after you wash them, it is soft.  The color does rub a bit, but with dark new jeans, that is to be expected.  They are very comfortable on me and I ordered them in my regular size, and they fit nicely.

The fit is not too tight, not too loose.  The cut is flattering with slimming boot leg.  The rise is medium - not hip-hugger and not up to the belly button.

I had two other pairs of jeans that I loved and they are starting to wear out so I needed to find a new pair to replace them.  I am very pleased to say, I have a new favorite pair of jeans - my new Levi 515's.  Great jeans, great price.  What more could you ask for?
