FAQs
Are these jeans true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the taper profile means they will feel slimmer through the thigh and leg compared to straight-fit jeans.
Can I wear these with sneakers?
Absolutely. The tapered leg is designed to sit perfectly above most sneaker styles without bunching.
Do these jeans fade quickly?
To maintain the black color, always wash inside out and use a color-safe detergent, avoiding direct sunlight when drying.
Is the stretch material prone to sagging?
Levi's uses high-quality blends designed to retain their shape; however, improper washing with high heat can contribute to material fatigue.
Does the moisture-wicking technology wash out?
It is designed to last the life of the garment, provided you follow the recommended care instructions and avoid fabric softeners that can coat the fibers.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too tight in the calf area
The 502 fit is designed for a slim taper; ensure you are not pulling the hem up too high, which can cause fabric bunching.
Fabric losing shape after multiple washes
Avoid hot water and high heat in the dryer, as heat can degrade the stretch fibers in the denim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these jeans contain specialized performance technology, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric. Avoid using heavy-duty detergents or bleach, which can break down the fibers and reduce the comfort level of the cotton-stretch blend. Hang drying is highly recommended over tumble drying to prevent shrinking and to maintain the integrity of the tapered leg shape. When choosing your size, remember these are a tapered fit; if you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser feel, consider testing a size up.
