The jeans are stretchier then I thought they would initially be but this is a good thing. I have another pair of Joe's that aren't stretchy and are a bit tighter around the waist.

The opening at the bottom is definitely in between a skinny and a flair which means you could pretty much wear them with any type of shoe depending on your style. I wore them with tall Chinese Laundry boots and they looked just like all my other skinnies.

They have a higher waist line, so if that's your thing, you will like them.

I gave them four stars because they aren't my favorite pair of jeans but still a good purchase. I have yet to wash them so curious how they will fit after the initial run through the washer.
