First, unparalleled customer service. Desiree gave quick responses and was very engaged with me. I love the "colt" option. It was great to be able to try on 2 pair and keep the one that fit. They shipped quickly and returning the pair that I didn't want was easy.
I searched for jeans with no inseams, thinking that riding jeans should never have them. I was shocked to see that Smooth Stride seems to be the firs to do this! Nobody needs an inseam rubbing while you ride! The jeans are stretchy enough to let you move, but tough enough to feel like jeans. The no gap waistband is no joke. I've never had jeans that didn't gap at least a little in the back before these. I don't have to worry about my crack showing while I ride! The inside layer of the waistband is lined in something much softer than denim, (maybe suede microfiber??) which adds comfort as well. The phone pocket is nice too, I can get to it while I'm sitting in the saddle.
I will buy Smooth Stride jeans from now on!

Comfortable and functional

I just got a pair of Smooth Stride riding jeans. I needed jeans for spring trail maintenance without worrying about snagging my riding tights. These jeans have stretch, a lined waistband that is higher in the back, no inner seam and a thigh cell phone pocket. I am a curvy size 14 and 5’8†so I got them in the size Palomino Long. They allow returns and you can order two sizes at a time if you are not sure with the Colt option. I went on a 7 mile training ride with cantering and a 12 mph trot without my phone moving. And there was room for my lip balm! I got them without the full seat since I ride with a sheepskin saddle cover. Definitely recommended.

I cannot say enough amazing things about the smooth stride jeans!! They quality of the material is outstanding and durable without being stiff, they are the MOST comfortable, flattering, best fitting jean for riding and beyond the barn!! From the corrals to lunch, these jeans are fabulous; absolutely the best ever!! Finally a well made, beautiful fitting jean with the correct length for riding and/or pair with fashion boots or heels for a night on the town. Do yourself a favor and by a pair (or two), you'll love them!!

Review for riding jeans

LOVE these jeans! I ordered using the sizing chart and am very happy with the fit. There is enough stretch to make them very comfortable. Have to say though, that cell phone pocket sealed the deal for me. Phones in back pockets just don't work when riding!

Best fit I’ve ever had

My jeans arrived today in 2 sizes since first time ordering. I immediately loved them! They fit better than any jeans I’ve ever worn not adjusting or fidgeting with them they just fit. The material is great and I really like the extra soft waste-band lining.
