Fat Face slim leg chinos - what shoes/boots should I wear with them?

I bought a pair of these yesterday in a mint green colour. I have NEVER bought chinos before as I have a theory that even beautiful American actresses look frumpy in them but had these recommended by a friend and they are incredibly comfortable and surprisingly flattering, I think due to the very slim leg. I am a fan of skinny jeans.

I am only 5'2 and wonder if I can ever wear them with heels or should they only be worn with pumps/trainers/flipflops?

I wear chinos With flip flops . I think thin pumps would work .

I have a burgundy pair that I wear with wedges.

Thanks for that. I might wear them with both flip flops and wedge sandals.

Never boots then?

I don't think. Boots unless thy are like ash wedge trainers .. What sort of boots were you thinking?

I've just bought some black suede wedge ankle boots. Not sure on the black with the light green though. Maybe this is one of the reasons I've never had a pair of chinos before? and I never buy pale coloured trousers I live in boots or flip flops and I love black skinnies!

Could work but I think a lighter colour . I only wear in the summer with flip flops.
