Closed toe shoes to wear with floaty summer trousers?

[noctu]

It's floaty summer trouser season and I gleefully got mine out of the wardrobe this morning.

I wore them for a casual dog walk in a nature reserve this morning and remembered why I hardly wear them for that sort of thing. I have no idea what style of shoe I can wear with them that aren't sandals?

For dog walks I do need a closed toe shoe/trainer.

I wore Skechers with them but I think they looked a bit, er, wrong.

White trainers just felt a bit weird with them (plus they'd get filthy quickly, walking through wet grass).

Any ideas, MN? What comfy, closed toe shoes (not sandals) could I wear?

Cheeky bump!

Ballet -style slippers but with a chunkier sole

Are floaty trousers the right attire for a possibly muddy dog walk? I don’t have a dog but if I did and was going to be walking on wet grass I would be wearing chino style cotton trousers and a pair of gum boots - maybe those short ankle ones!

I wear toms with all things at all times all summer if that helps.

I walk the dog in slip on vans. Particularly the comfycush ones as they're like walking on air but still keep a slim profile.

That said, im addicted to slip on bloody-vans as they do them in such a range of colours.

Espadrilles, but not sure if they're best choice for muddy walks, as might be a nightmare to clean.

I am very tempted to get some clogs this summer. They will, hopefully, be practical, stylish and comfortable. These are nice:

Backless loafers, they have great ones at Next and Primark

They look too good for a dog walk! I’d go on a walk in leggings and Skechers for comfort.

You could pair them with closed toe espadrilles but prob more suited to work/pub etc.

I wear lots of floaty trousers and try to go on an evening walk most days.

I just get changed into a pair of leggings and trainers for the walk. Floaty trousers and shoes that look right with them are no good for muddy walks.

Clogs with wood are heavy, but comfy and very retro late 70s. Have you looked at Haflingers? Comfy and footbed too

Crocs

Those are lovely trousers sorry can't help with the shoes

Thanks everyone some good ideas!
