I know you don't do Wal–Mart but DH bought Levi signature jeans there
today. Perhaps they are sold in other places.

I have almost given up finding a pair of jeans that fits me. My 2P Tahari
jeans (nearly $200 on the original tag––are they high?)...I washed them in
hot water and dried them on high heat a couple times before having them
shortened. They now seem to have simultaneously shrunk in length while
getting looser through the waist, hips and thighs.

So when did Boot–Cut jeans...

.....turn into "flared" jeans, and when did "straight leg" turn into
"slim/tapered"?????
I'm looking for jeans that go over the shoe, more of a relaxed
hollywood style. That go over the shoe without sweeping the floor or
without that 70s flare. Not European tight with a visible "bulge" or
not the hip–hop baggy pants dropping look either.
Anyway, as far as I remember, boot cut means goes over the boot like
Old Navy's. But I just bought a pair of Abercrombie ones, and they are
extravagantly flared. Heh?
I understand straight–leg as being the baggy hip–hop look.
Also, I usually wear 36 waist, but that there seem to be 2834237
variations!
Anyway, just hoping someone can break down the boot–cut, straight leg
distinction once and for all.

boot cut is different from flare– boot cut isn't nearly as wide as flared
jeans
straight leg is also different since it's the straight line from thigh to
the ankle or shoe top.
Tapered or slim means that it tapers from the thigh down to the ankle or
shoe and thus presents a much narrower view

No. I think there's one about an hour from me. I'll check out their Susan
