I am 5' 11" and am in need of a new pair of jeans to go with my boots. Since the boots have 2" heels it is even harder to find jeans that are long enough. I need just about a 35" inseam so they don't look like floods. I am around a size 12 typically after having 2 kiddos and prefer jeans that hit about at the waist - not too high, but definitely not low. I actually have a pair that are dressy that I can wear with the boots (very dark wash) - now looking for a pair that are more casual. Oh, and ideally not more than $75. We're not wealthy so spending a zillion $$ on jeans won't happen. Everywhere I look I am lucky to find them long enough just to wear with flats or my gym shoes. Really appreciate any input! Thx!

What can I do next?

I am 6'2" and buy almost all my jeans from JC Penney. They have ultra tall and tall. They are EXTREMELY inexpensive and great quality. I just recently gave a tall friend of mine some of my tall jeans that don't fit me anymore and she said she loves the JCPenney ones the best. I also have bought from Long Elegant Legs, which are pricey, but there is a woman on eBay who sells them for slightly less. The name of her store is Susan's Tall Shop or something like that. I have had luck with Old Navy, too. The majority of my jeans are from JCPenney, though.

men's levi's :) come in a wide variety of length's, waists and styles. I'd go with the traditional 501.

the other jeans I've always loved but have a hard time finding now is Chic jeans. not sure if they even still make 'em but LOVED those jeans. I'm 5'8" but I'm all legs.

I have longer legs but I only need a 33" inseam. I just got some of the newly designed Long and Lean jeans from the Gap in a regular length and they are dragging on the ground under my shoe. You should try the long and lean in the tall version. If you order online they guy told me they run a full size big - and they do.

I am 5 ' 10" and I buy my jeans at the Buckle (kinda pricey but can get them at your price range when they go on sale). I also like Alloy.com (its more geared towards teens but jeans are jeans - you can find a cheap pair that are not necessarily low rise and they come up to 37" inseams.

I'm tall and thin. I have the worst time finding jeans. However, I ordered some from HSN and I'm really happy with them.
I'm 48, high waisted, and there's no way I'm comfortable in a low rise pant. If I remember correctly, the tall inseam is 36.
The designer is Diane Gilman and she has specials on all the time. The pants I got even had the easy pay option meaning the payments were broken down into 3 installments.
I didn't hold out much hope of them fitting, but they did, and they actually explain pretty clearly how to choose your size.

I was very pleased.

Good luck!

I'm 5'10" and I have had very good luck with DKNY jeans. They are right about the price limit you mentioned.

Try Ann Taylor --- I can usually get a pair of jeans for under $50 on sale and I am 5'11". Or, you can try Ebay. I have had success there too. I ONLY buy jeans on-line!

Victorias Secret makes a great pair of jeans for us tall people. you can get them anywhere from 25-80$. I usually wait til they are one sale, or try the clearance section. I also would suggest Chico's. I get the size 1 or 2 tall . Their jeans are good too. I am the same height and size as you, and I know how it feels to not find a good pair!

Try gap sexy bootcut Or curvy bootcut. Both run long. I'm pretty tall and got a long which I think is 36 or 37 inseam. The regular is 35 I believe. Good fit too
