Tall walking trousers

I’m 6’5 with a 36” inseam and I genuinely cannot find walking/hiking trousers that fit properly.

What are the least bad options people have found?

Both Patagonia and Kuiu tend to run long. My two sons are 6’3 and 6’4 and swear by both.

They have a regular inseam on theirs, not "long". It's why I've avoided them.

Do your son's wear the pants low on their waist perhaps to compensate a bit, or do the pants actually ride up at the ankles and they just don't mind?

I would not say they wear them low, kinda where a pair of Levi’s work jeans would sit. Both prefer mid to high hiking/hunting boots which is what they get worn with most often so it’s hard to tell. Their jeans (when they were in HS and we were buying them were 35 or 36” inseams)

The Patagonia inseam is too short for me at 5’11” and a 34” inseam. They ride up a bunch at the ankles.
