I admit that I may be biased. But ankle boots like that on men have always said one of two things to me:
(1) I am a hopeless gaming nerd who has suddenly discovered "fashion" and will wear these daily with my cargo pants and decades-old t-shirts--oh look, I'm wearing a bowler hat--don't I look suave in this ill-fitting blazer.
(2) I am a sleazy car salesman from Miami.
I say this with love: I have dated many people from the first category and my uncle was for a while a Miami realtor. I just think it's a poor fashion decision.

I have those shoes. They have no grip and your feet are always cold in them. Very impractical for any situation aside from padding around the office.
Alex C:
Yeah, that's a slim toe and not a pointy toe. It's still terrible. Getting a pointy version would just make me wonder what color of awful Nehru jacket you favor.

With man pants to girl pants conversions, remember that man pants sizes generally correspond to waist size, at least sort of. So if you wear a size 36 you have a 36 inch waist (or wherever your pants sit). Girl pants are arbitrarily sized, really.. so look for a website that sells the jeggings you want, and find their size chart. Compare man pants size to waist size. It might not be perfect but that at least gets you close. Then give a gift receipt?

Man pants are pretty arbitrarily sized, too. I've had some 33 inch inseam pants that ended up a good way up my calf after washing them, another pair of 33 inch inseam pants that fit perfectly, 36 inch inseam pants that aren't nearly long enough to really be 36 inches, and that's before you get into waist sizes. I've got 33" waist pants that have maybe three inches of extra space, 32" waist pants that barely fit until I wear them for an hour or so, and 33" waist pants that fit perfectly. And that's not even getting into the fashion pants that have vanity sizing or the pants designed to ride lower than hips, since I don't wear those.
If you can find some sort of size chart for a particular kind of pants you know he wears, that might help. There are charts out there that give you the actual waist size to the stated waist size, actual length, thigh size, seat size, leg opening size, I just haven't found them.

I wear somewhere around a 32-24 inch waist of manpants and the one pair of ladypants I owned were sz. 12 in Australian sizes, which The Lady informs me is like, a 5 in Amurkan sizes?
