why this pair of RRDS looks completely straight with no sign of any bootcut ? Does reg ralf shrink width ways after repeated washing ? I sized down on my rrds and the lower leg definitely kicks out slightly. I'm baffled

I can't see the picture, but I could guess that the owner had them altered to a straight leg.

looks like sized up slim jim.... maybe he tailored to remove bootcut?

actually the angle of the shot and his stance could be tricking the eye into believing there is less of a bootcut than actually is

'Cuz it's a poorly-lit photo taken at a weird angle that could be mislabeled?

if they are the ones you think, the angle of the picture can significantly alter how they appear.

that or they were tapered or its a different model.

Slight bootcuts often look like a straight leg after you have stretched out the knee. I know my RRDS look more like straight-leg jeans than my Rescues.
