Maybe try a higher boot, tightens your jeans around the boot, they do not move. Or, try to get pants a bit tighter, if they are baggy around the heel area then they will blow, straight leg. I wear HD jeans with HD harness boots and have never had a problem.

This is the correct answer..............

ORIGINAL: Ringo Fonebone

I wear jeans that are actually two inches longer than my inseam. That way they are all the way down when I'm in a sitting position, and are unaffected by the wind.

I use the clip on stirrups when I'm wearing slip on boots ( engineer type ) , when I'm wearing boots that lace up there is no problem with sliding up . In my case it is the smooth frontal surface of the boot that allows my Wranglers to slide up and they do ! With a inseam length that will touch the ground standing they still slide to the top of the boots . I guess forward mounted controls don't help much either .

I wear engineer or cowboy boots...........I tuck my pants in the boots, but come to think of it I never had any problem with my pants legs blowing anyway. What are you wearing? Dockers?

you could "tight roll" the bottoms of your jeans like in the 80's.

maybe it was called a "french roll" where you are from. it was shere you folded over the bottoms of the jeans, made them tight, and rolled them up a couple times to make it "stay." yea, the time from was the late 80's and very early part of the 90's.
