I think skinny jeans are tight and quite stretch all over and are better for tucking into boots as you dont get any excess material. Slim leg jeans would go better with high heeled shoes or sandals imo.

The link is skinny jeans not slim. Slim will be a bit looser than that. I have slim fit boot leg jeans and slim fit straight leg ones as well as skinny. The best thing to do is go into a shop and try on the different styles. They are all labeled what fit they are in all shops.

What style jeans you buy also depends on what tops you have as skinny jeans are unforgiving and longer tops are better. Where as you can wear shorter ones with slim boot leg for e.g. I have lots of skinny jeans, jeggings and leggings and I wear either boots or heels with them, both look great.
