You know those peep toe ankle boot/shoe things?

What the hell do you wear them with?

I've just bought some because they were stupidly cheap (£5!) but now I've got them home I don't know what to wear with them - jeans? Confused

You don't wear them with anything, you sit down and remind yourself that a £5 pair of shoes is not a bargain if you never wear them.

I've looked at them for ages but was never quite sure what to do with them! So when I saw them reduced......

I bought some for £5 just over a year ago, to wear with a specific dress at Christmas. Since then, I've worn them loads -- with jeans, going-out dresses, leggings and to work. They're a bugger to drive in, though, being 5 1/2" heels.

You'll get cold toes if you try to wear them any time soon....

If they're black, you can get away with wearing opaques under them.

They're brown! Brown opaques?

Tried them with a couple of things and skinny jeans seem to be the best option so far!

Step away from the tights.

Not a good look IMO

I would wear with leggings or dresses.

You could go with brown opaques if they're the same shade of brown...

But yeah, probably stick with the skinny jeans in that case!

imo you wear them indoors or in the dark

they look like your dog has bitten the end off your shoe

but if you must, no to tights, yes to nicely painted toes and skinny jeans

Will try with leggings and dresses after tea. Not sure I like the idea of ankle boots with a dress! It just seems wrong! But will give it a go!

DO NOT WEAR TIGHTS.

People will laugh.

Try a shortish floral dress.

Skinny jeans or leggings will be best though.

They look fine with tights, IMO. Never seen brown with brown, but black/black looks absolutely fine and I've certainly never laughed at anyone rocking that look.

No peep toe shoe looks ok with tights.
