What are you wearing on your feet with wide legged jeans in Autumn?

I've ordered some gorgeous wide legged dark denim jeans fron Sezane but I'm not sure what to wear on my feet with them now!
I'm tall 5ft 9" size 12 & I don't want to wear heels or wedges every day.
I will wear trainers some days but would like some more options
I think maybe some sort of flat pointy toed boots?
What are you all wearing with your wide leg / flares?

Great question. I’m not sure, wondering the same thing!

I'm 5'5" and have been wearing wide leg leans for a couple of years. I think they work well with a thick-sole trainer, especially if there's a concealed inner wedge, but that's my only casual choice. For evening/indoor/formal wear, a heeled sandal gives height and a sweep of elegance. I personally don't find brogues flattering because of my wide feet, but a narrow almond toe, slightly elongated version might work?

For day try thick soled Chelsea boots.

For evening try dressy mid-high heels in a red or orange

Note, I get all my ideas from Pinterest. But that seems to be the look.

I'm wearing mine with 8 hole Doc Martens.

Thanks for all the ideas!
I'm v used to wearing slim fitting trousers / jeans mainly with Chelsea boots or trainers.
I can't actually remember what I wore on my feet the last time wide legs were in fashion!
The annoying thing about Sezane is they don't always show the whole body in the photos so it's hard to see how things might be styled. It's these jeans by the way

I can see a pointy toe peeping out which is what made me think that might be a good call

I’d wear my Doc Martin type boots.

Aqualamb boots

I've resurrected my Acne Star brown boots, you're right the almond toe looks great and the bit of platform means they are not dragging on the ground.
I wore wedges in the summer and I am on the lookout for some wedge or platform trainers too for winter. I think DM or chunky boots might look good too but my jeans are really long and I don't want to cut or turn up this pair, it might be cheaper to get another pair to wear with lower shoes.

I’d go with the classic timberlands. Maybe not so much with those jeans with the ironed crease but with something more informal.

Blatant place marking - I am tree of leg, and also 5ft 9" size 12.

I think the interpretation of 'wide leg' must have changed because they look like straight leg to me. I'm not saying that to snark - they look really nice - but because I don't think this wide leg revival is the same as the last one (or not yet at any rate) and my guess is that your chelsea boots and trainers will look fine with them.
