Stylish DH? Need a favour...

If you have a stylish DH would you be kind enough to tell me what he's wearing on his feet with jeans?

As the weather improves DH gravitates back to his knackered Pumas. Want to get him something new for spring but not sure where to start.

Oh, he has massive clownfeet too so need something that doesn't look silly in a 12.

Shoes ? Brown? Or trainers. Coloured say like navy ? H had done bright blue ones I like.

DH wears either brown leather or suede lace-up shoes, or deck shoes.

He was looking at a pair of dark brown chelsea boots the other day, I think those might be the next addition to the pile in the bottom of his wardrobe.

BTW DH is not stylish, just dislikes trainers and buys whatever he thinks looks sturdy from M&S. I think the chelsea boots he was looking at are these ones or similar.

Deck shoes - mostly navy. Converse. Or brown boots similar to Chelsea boots but lace ups - I thinking the last pair he bought were either Gant or Paul Smith. Almond toe shapes only too. Never, ever, ever anything with a pointed or blunt end - nafftastic. I think black shoes always look wrong with jeans too on men.

How about some leather trainers like this ?

NotYouNaanBread · 02/03/2013 15:31

DH wears All Saints army boots with skinny jeans, converse (navy) or brogues (not with jeans)

PretzelTime · 02/03/2013 15:33

Low shoes, brogues. There are tons of nice options, let him look through these and see what he likes:

Fantastic ideas. Thanks very much. Definitely time to update his footwear. He's fine in the winter with boots and will wear flip floppy type things in summer so just needed some spring inspiration.

PretzelTime · 02/03/2013 17:12

Sandals?! Do you live in the tropics?

Mr Gin wears high top trainers, or slip on vans they do them in many many colours www.amazon.co.uk/Vans-Unisex-Classic-Trainer-VQFB7I8/dp/B008G50OLG/ref=sr_1_12?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1362246984&sr=1-12

ELR · 02/03/2013 18:48

My DH wears converse he's wearing some really nice black leather ones at the minute which he loves when it's a by cold and raining.

Ledkr · 02/03/2013 18:50

Yes high top but stylish trainers. I'm not a fan of shoes with jeans tbh.

Chandon · 02/03/2013 18:56
