Can I wear Levis 510 Super Skinny Jeans?

My waist and inseam is 32 * 32. I can fit into Levi's 511 skinny jeans with no problems with a little protrusion of my calves (I have fairly large calves that has circumferences of 13 3/8 inches). On the Levi's website, it said the Levi's 510 Super Skinny Jeans has a leg opening of 13.5 inches, which is just slightly above the circumferences of my calves. One thing that I am not sure is that whether the leg opening stays constant for different sizes of jeans, which I assume it should. Another thing that I am not sure is that whether I can fit into those jeans without trouble and noticeable protrusion of my fairly large calves (or not looking feminine). Help and suggestions are welcome. Please just answer the question, I do not need your opinion my whether guys should wear super skinny jeans, which is not the purpose of my question. I already own a pair of Levis 511 but someone suggested my to get the super skinny jeans to match my shoes.

Only way to find out is to try em on....

Odds are if you're a 32" waist + inseam you have no business in denim leggings. 511s are pretty much the perfect fitting Levis...

I don't get it, but they have the 32'' waist+inseam size and the super skinny jeans are for men.

If you already notice your calves 'protruding' in 511's, then 510's are just going to be worse. Also, I don't think someone with a 32" waist needs to be wearing super skinny jeans with a 13.5" leg opening.

I'm not sure about 510, but leg opening is size-dependent for other models (I have experiences with 501, 505, 512, 521, 522, 581, 582, 751)

Zrules, You forgot one very important measurement. Suggest measuring at fullest extension.

Well just saying, the models that they have on the Levi's website are definitely bigger than I am and most likely to wear 32''+ waist, yet they pulled off a decent look. I am a pretty skinny dude and skinny jeans are for skinny people, which I think is logical. I guess the only way to find out is to try them on...

Isn't getting lucky something that's supposed to happen AFTER you get the jeans?

I don't know what you mean, but the luck that I meant was that they fit and look nice on me when I try them on in the store, not that people on the street would compliment and not vomit when they see my wearing those jeans.
