Do these shoes go with Mom jeans?

I'm 26 and have always worn skinny jeans and ankle boots, really. And black vans! I bought a pair of white Nike Air Force last year and suddenly I think it's a bit of a faux pas, every 12 year old I see is wearing them and I feel like I look like I'm a teenager. I'm an adult and a mum so I'm all for looking young but not like a pre teen. Skinny jeans also seem to of died a death and it's all about mom jeans! I've bought a nice fitted topshop pair but struggling for shoes. Can I still pull off nice black ankle boots with them? And would these slip ons look ok as a casual pair with mom jeans and a jumper/top?

I’m not sure - I’m 41 & they look like shoes my mum would buy for my granny. I wear my mom jeans with birkies or Tretorn tennis shoes - I’m definitely not cool though & I’m much older than you so the shoes you posted could well be a style that’s totally passed me by!

The Nike Air Force one are amazing though! I think they suit all ages.

I wear Nike Air Force ones in my forties 😱 (and lovely them)

I'm 39 and wear my Air Force ones with everything including mom jeans. I'm wearing Vejas with my mom jeans at the moment. The slip ons you suggest work too but I think there are cooler options.

The bright young things at work used to wear shoes like this (clearly flouting dress codes rules)

I’m 43 and have AF1s!

I think those shoes are okay, they won’t not go with mom jeans in that they aren’t very noticeable. However we are heading into Autumn with rain and puddles so seems like the wrong time to be buying a pale canvas shoes.

I would stick with your Air Force ones!

Get ur air forces on with ur mom jeans, that's a good combo. Or get some high top converse 👍
