Hiking boots + tapered pants

Do hiking boots (and bigger boots in general) simply go only with wider trousers, or is there a way to make them work with tapered ones? I have a pair of hiking boots but every time I put them on they feel quite big and I’m thinking they’d be more at home with wide pants. I don’t have very wide pants, though. I attached some pictures wearing them with pants with different leg opening. Khaki chinos - 21.5cm Indigo and ecru jeans - 20cm Cords - 19cm Fatigues - 18.5cm White chinos - 18cm I think down to 20cm it looks fine (?). I’m not sure about the cords and fatigues. And I think the white chinos with the 18cm opening are too slim for them. +1: ecru jeans look better cuffed, right? Any input from you is much appreciated.

They do work and aren't as obviously as incongruent as skinny jeans + big boots imo It's just preference really Personally find tapered can be awkward depending on leg opening v boot shaft

You either have the choice of cropped or get looser jeans Or they ride up/get stuck Plus if your boots have pull tabs it can get even more silly
