I love my new jeans! Help me wear them!

I have just bought some perfect jeans (for me) that fit so well, have a mid rise and are that magical kind of fit - inbetween slouchy and slim. They are amazing quality for high street and a lovely, new colour for me.

However, I am 5'4 and they are just a teeny bit long. I don't want to get them shortened as the slouch at the foots suits me, and shortening will make them look bootcut, which don't suit me!
They are about an inch and a half longer than I'd like, so am wondering if there is a type of cheap trainer or sandal I could find to mitigate it?
Any ideas welcome. I don't like huge franken-shoes but would be happy with a subtle platform in the style of a Birkenstock or trainers.

I could get them taken up a bit but like I say I don't want to loose the foot slouch.
Here is a pic of the jeans on a 5'7 model. What I love most about these is the ride, it is described as low but it is more like a low-mid. They completely cover my bum and don't fall down, just perfect! And the 'flare' is more of a slouch than a traditional boat sail shape, I def recommend!

Kin flat form sneakers from John Lewis could look good with them.
And please do tell us where they’re from! I am struggling to find mid-rise just now. High-rise doesn’t really suit me.

I would solve this by cutting the bottoms off but I much prefer a raw frayed hem!

I Loveeeeee the platform converse. I have them and they look amazing with jeans like this for a casual vibe! Or Blair doc marten Sandles?

Sorry theyre from H&M, there are several different washes. I would say true to size if you want slouch fit or size down for tight. The rise is really comfy and nice - not really low but a nice change from tight, stiff high rise (for me anyway, I like my upper gut to breeeeeathe Grin)

I have these jeans. They're very comfortable and flattering. I think platform converse would go well with them

Superga do a flat form with a sort of espadrille sole that are quite cute for summer?

I am finding it hard to get my head around platforms. I last wore them as sketchers in the 90's. I do prefer the trainer styles but not sure what to do, is it worth spending more money...I do love them though, am tempted to get another pair and have one shortened. When something is this good you need to double up!

How does the foot bend in those platform converse?Grin

I use platform Converse for this very purpose. They’re way comfier than normal ones.
