what shoes to wear with skinny jeans/leggings apart from boots?

hiya, i have recently discovered that i can just about pull off the leggings and boots look yey! had always thought you had to have really skinny legs for it but have found some combos which i think look quite nice.

only thing is apart from boots, cant figure out what shoes work best with skinny jeans. normal trainers look a bit odd and not warm enough for sandals/summer shoes.

any advice?

I don't do leggings but with skinny jeans in the spring/summer I invest in a couple of pairs of funky ballet style pumps ie: leopard print/sequined etc, sandals/flip-flops, for winter converse or ugg style things.

the leather is so soft and lovely. and nice and cool in warmer weather.

I have an old vintage clarks pair but they are on their last legs and I wear them only occasionally in case they die on me!I really like that sort of shoe with wooly tights and dresses or striped socks (grown up ones!) turned over skinnies big sloppy jumper and satchel

cyb · 06/02/2011 19:29

what about a flat lace up pixie boot of sorts in a tan that you could wear with bare legs and a dress

Saw the perfect pair today, wish I'd bought them

FluffyMummy123 · 06/02/2011 19:30

i fear you noddy are needed on the desert hot pants thread

when you wear big sweater and satchel do you srand there kookily with crossed toes and a lolly?

noddyholder · 06/02/2011 19:30

You need to go in and see them they are so good on!Don't like the heel of the next ones too high Nice colour though

No no lolly on a diet so chewing a piece of grass or my cuticles

But the link won't go to the page Sad....

I am a fashion buyer though so they may be a bit fashion forward.

cyb · 06/02/2011 19:32

Binfull were you once in Sigue Sigue Sputnick?

FluffyMummy123 · 06/02/2011 19:32

well yes
or have naffo taste? ;)

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 06/02/2011 19:34

Ha ha I remember them! No sadly not. Funnily enough I have never had so many compliments on a pair of shoes. More than my over the knee boots from Duo.

I get them for free though so it is easier to be experimental I guess! I have 4 pairs of worker ankle boots at the mo in various colours. Blush

Argh stoppit Bin, stop making me look at them you meanie!

I have a couple of footwear rules.

Trainers with heels - no.
Peep-toes with block heels - no.

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 06/02/2011 19:39

They were number two on our winter best seller list lol! Second only to these www.shop.puma.co.uk/Women/Footwear/High-Cuts/URBAN-MOTUS-LACE-HI-WN%27S/4050374762000,en,pd.html?cgid=13260

Obviously the second link was rubbish, it was the pic at top you can see full size, but whilst you're there, scroll to the "Funky pink heels" - weird, novelty heel like that make me want to hurt myself.

RIZZ0 · 06/02/2011 19:42

Binfull - the name says it all on that pair.

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 06/02/2011 19:45

Hope to get these when I get back to the uk www.duoboots.com/products/shoes/detail/width_fitting_shoes_everyday/sampson/444/colour/20-camel_suede/

RamonaFlowers · 06/02/2011 19:52
