Can you wear lace up plimsolls with jeggings?

I can't wear boots or ballet pumps because of foot problems - need something more supportive - but not sure whether this would be a style crime. If not this, then what? Thanks!

No, no, no.

Well...I mean, you can. Physically it is possible to do so! But I suppose what you're asking is "will it look silly?", to which the answer is very probably "yes".

Can you wear wedges? Or just bin the jeggings altogether? Wink

yes, i was afraid that would be the answer. was wearing with boots but have now been forbidden by foot dr.

i can wear nice shoes for special occasions but i love the jeggings for everyday because they hide my flabby post baby stomach while breastfeeding and are so comfy and look nice - from the ankle up...

What sort of boots were you wearing? There are supportive-but-still-flat boots out there.

These are cute. This site also recommends Dr Martens -- I have an amazing pair of knee-high DMs with zips up the sides. And these are gorgeous (IMO!)

too be honest i don't think it goes - i feel your pain as i love jeggings too and have foot/ankle problems - fit flops have really helped and are very supportive, i wear the short boots with my jeggings.

oh i love those dm's! Fitflop boots are a good idea too, i will check them out. i have been told to wear something with laces to keep the foot still to help control over pronation (foot and ankle leaning inwards). thank you.

Have you got orthotics for your shoes to help control the pronation? I have the same problem, i am unsure about fitflops as i tried them last summer and they crippled me, i tend to find boots with an orthotic ok. I think plimsoles are probably not supportive enough. It is really hard but i find the best shoes are those you can take an insole out of and replace with an orthotic (if you put the orthotic in a normal shoe you loose depth)Clarks have some, which are comfortable if not pretty. Shoon have other brands.

I really want to buy those DMs myself now!
