I had bought a pair of 524 Boot Cut at a dept. store where I had the chance to try them on before purchasing.  The jeans I received from Amazon fit just the same as the pair I had bought from the dept. store, although they were a little on the long side and I will have to hem them up.  The only drawback to buying online is that you aren't able to see what the color of the demin truly is and whether or not they have any of that annoying "whiskering" done to them. Personaly, I can't stand that fashion feature and have returned jeans that fit great for that  reason alone. All in all a good purchase at a reasonable price.
