Footwear for cropped trousers

Hi everyone.
Just wondering if you knowledgeable people could help - what shoes (or should it be boots?), should I wear with these trousers (pic should be attached). They’re described as “cropped wide finishing above the ankle”. I’m not a big fan of high shoes/boots... please help! Thanks in advance!

I'd wear some leather trainers in this sort of shape:

Wedges? Dark but not black trainers

Cropped trousers are hard!!

I don't think they look cropped, just like they have shrunk in the wash...

I think cropped trousers need to have a slim leg really, otherwise they look a bit wrong.

Have you tried heels with them?

Get different trousers

They don't look cropped enough if that makes sense?
They look a bit long for you - please don't take that the wrong way.
In regards to footwear I think it depends on what you are wearing them for - for work I'd go for a heel and elongate the leg a bit, if for causal wear them trainers or pumps.

I like your loafers. Where are they from OP?

Brokenfurnitureandroses · 18/08/2018 22:58

Thank you for the kind, helpful responses. Labels are still on so if I can’t figure them out I will return them. Dudsville, they’re from Tesco!

Burn the trousers if you can’t take them back. They look like something that Miriam Margolyes would wear. I agree that only slim cropped trousers ever look good. But never with slingbacks. I can’t explain why, they just always look terrible together.

They were a great find Broken!

Those trousers are not nice. I like your shoes.

RoseMartha · 19/08/2018 08:33

Ballet pumps or flats

I think that length is ok in skinny and tight fitting trousers but in such wide leg it looks quite odd, like you’re just wearing the wrong size.

I like baggy cropped trews. I generallly wear brogues at work with them or v plain sandals .

AppleKatie · 19/08/2018 09:13

Are they magic trousers?

Pic 1 you look about 55, pic 2 about 25!

I think it’s the trousers at fault sorry OP!

Brokenfurnitureandroses · 19/08/2018 13:34

So I brought them back, thanks for the advice!
Kept the shoes though!
