Autumn/winter footwear for ankle grazing jeans

[Colinorpercy]

Trying to venture out to something other than skinny jeans and have got myself a couple of pairs that I really like-mom and a straight leg with turned up ankle. Both are ankle grazing type length. Question is what do I wear with them in winter as I’m used to wearing boots over my skinnies? I’m thinking hi tops….not sure if I’m too old for that! Although I know I shouldn’t think that way!

It depends on your lifestyle but I'd suggest 'DM' style boots (I have these
NPS Solovair | Womens Boots, Shoes & Loafers | Made in England – Tagged "Dealer-Boot" – NPS Solovair UK (nps-solovair.com)) or Blundstones.

The dealer boots/chelsea boots look better with the jeans slightly rolled up.

Otherwise, take your pick. I have longer boots and wear them with skinnies, and lace up boots, which I wear with straight jeans not rolled up.

No idea how old you are but unless you are planning to wear footwear with a story-book character or flashing lights, you are not too old for wearing what you like.

If you like high tops, how about Kickers? I'm feeling a bit of nostalgia.

I wear DMs or Nike hi tops.

Oh I really like those DM ones, I might look for a more wallet friendly version lol. I think those kickers are funky on the right person but don’t think I’m stylish enough to pull them off! I think Nike hi tops could be an option too, will have a look at them and see if I can get a darker colour. Not sure I’d want white ones.

I posted almost the exact same thread yesterday! Except I was only looking for flat/comfy boots.

Mine came from ebay a couple of summers ago. They were less than £50 including p&p and like new. I wear them with dresses or jeans. They're my go-to boots - just pull them on.

Off to check Vinted!

Im curious now how old the OP is to think they are too old for hi tops?
I tend to wear them summer and winter, but I also have some ankle boots for bad weather.

I am wondering the same thing but with more flared/baggier straight jeans to the floor. Apart from trainers not sure what else to wear with them!

I wear mine with a chunky sole or high top trainer.

I think if you're in your mid-80s or older, the laces might be a bit of a struggle.

Having had a look around on t'internet, I found shoes with characters from story-books on them and some with flashing lights. This has made me revise my opinion.

Wear what you like. I might not think they're stylish but they might be on you.
I don't think I'm stylish nor probably does anyone else but I wear shoes that I like.

early 40s, I think I’m worrying too much about what other people think! I had discounted converse as I find them a bit narrow and flat for me but I see they do a wide fit in the chunky sole so that could also be a winner.

The platform Converse are hideous. The flat ones are bad for your feet.

I wear high top vans
