I like wearing these boots with any style pants, whether its jeans or casual work pants.  I was worried the soles might be slippery, but one wearing gave the soles the traction they needed.  I ordered these in my normal shoe size (9), they were a little snug, but they stretched a bit and now fit perfectly to my foot.  Oh, and I wear just average socks with them, not the really thin ones, but not thick like athletic socks.
