Which shoes to wear with straight leg jeans

I’m sick of skinny jeans, they’re starting to feel uncomfortable, so I’ve bought some straight leg jeans. I usually wear boots with skinny jeans tucked in but this looks ridiculous with baggier jeans. So what shoes will look right? I really am clueless!

Oh I’d like to know this too

High top converse? Chelsea boots?

Bit late to reply @Nosetickle but I know what you mean with skinny jeans, I'm sure all of mine have shrunk in the wash too ;-)

So to make my straight jeans work I have to turn up the bottoms 2/3 times. Not large turns up, just small ones. I then find the jeans look better with trainers & some boots. I think the trick is leaving a small gap between top of the boot & the bottom of the jean so you see ankle/leg. Well, that's the only way it works for me.
There is a way to turn up the jeans to create a more tucked in turn up, rather than a big turn up flapping around. You nip in both sides of the jean, on the seams, then turn up. Well done if you understand that, because I have not explained it well!

I know that look and I do like that.

Not sure if it’d work me being very short.

My dds wear baggy jeans with trainers, converse or ugg shoes.

I wear western boots (think that’s what they are called)

I do the turn up thing but without the bare leg as it’s winter! However, most women I know still wear skinnies because they are just so damned practical in winter with boots

Might not be cool but works for me

Turn them up so they sit just above the cuff of the boots. I think you need to turn them up above your ankles whatever you do, they still look a bit dad-like if you have them full length.

I turn up too. And then either wear them with trainers or DM-style boots. With boots, I turn them up a little bit more than with trainers so that they sit at the top of them.

Can't go wrong with boots this time of year.
I have been known to wear them with pumps also

Ooh thanks for the replies I’d given up on this one and thought I’d asked a really silly question! I’ll look into some of these options, thanks!

I turn them up once and wear vintage cowboy boots or I wear my silver glittery, sparkle DM's that go with anything (or go with nothing according to my son who claims they scare his dog with the iridescence Grin).
