What shoes would you wear with this type of dress?

[MidoriNoRingo]

I pretty much exclusively wear trainers, but I’m going out next week and have a tight, black mesh dress that comes down to my ankles. The have no idea what shoes to wear! Usually I’d just wear my vans but because I have quite big feet I look a bit like a golf club. Trying to avoid heels if possible!

I would wear something like this. I have the first pair and they go well with ankle length dresses.

(Obviously I don’t mean only those exact things from each of the respective stores. Just something like those styles from wherever suits your budget.)

I have nothing to add, but I love your description of looking like a golf club 😂Once we get a notion in mind it's hard to shift. I can't wear ankle length black trousers and ankle boots without thinking I look like an extra on star trek.

I’d probably wear combat boots.
