Sounds like you did nothing to cause this- I would have been on the phone when they arrived not correct length. This is what we are *ordering* them for... I would take a picture and email the customer service dept and let them know that there must be something wrong with the fabric. Chances are that they may not be aware of this, unless others have taken the time to tell them.. I am sure that you expect quality, and they should be dealing in goods that the customer is happy with... try this and let us know what happens.

If you don't get a replacement of these *defective* pants, you can try this: take out old hem, trim frayed edge if possible, sew on wide bias hem tape to raw edge and turn that up to make the hem.

I agree with the others, they were just poor-quality to begin with.

Thanks for the reassurance! Teresa, I may give your suggestion a shot. Either way, the pants will probably end up in the "kitty quilt fabric" pile once they get too ragged for work wear ... the cats love to sleep on his pants, so we retire the worn-out pants to kitty-dom.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Just curious, do his pants droop at all? Perhaps the fit is not snug, which allows the pants hem to hit the ground, not just the shoes?

Guys with their no-hip build, often have pants that sag a bit during the course of the day. My husband has jeans that sag, not staying up at his waist line (belted or not!), especially if he is working hard. Does allow the back hem to be dragging on the ground. Frays the material, no matter what the quality.

You might ask him to wear these pants where you can observe how they ride as he wears them for a while. Sunday or out on a date. Each clothing maker has their own pattern, and perhaps this one allows a bit too much room, resulting in sagging waist.
