Flat shoes for wide leg jeans (not trainers)

[Teebobble]

I’ve recently took the leap over to wide leg jeans from my once beloved skinny jeans. Normally I wear them with trainers (new balance or adidas samba).

I am going to an event which is casual so I am wearing wide leg jeans and a waistcoat style vest. Trainers are too casual.

What shoes would look best please? I tried on Mary Jane style shoes, ballet pumps, pointed ballet pumps and chunky loafers and all of them looked ridiculous. But when I see others wearing this it looks great!

The jeans are a mid-dark blue and the shoes were all black - is it maybe the contrast of colour I didn’t like? Perhaps they’d look better with black jeans

I have two different pairs of Vivaia flats that I wear with my wide leg jeans.

I have shoes similar to these as an alternative to trainers with jeans.

M&S have some lovely mary janes that might be more in your budget. I wear mostly trainers but have kitten heeled pointy toe ankle boots in leopard print from Office, Birkenstock sage green clogs and burgundy loafers from Ravel. All look good. I do have a pair of flat pointed mary jane style sling backs with double straps in black but only wear them with mid blue jeans as they dont go well with other shades.

My sincere apologies to your credit card 😁

I wear ballet pumps with mine

I usually wear my Superga canvas shoes. I have a lovely rose gold pair from Vinted.

Ballet flat or loafers but in a colour or tan, not black - a block heel shoe would also look good

M&S do shoes at a better price, and trainers too.

As mentioned M&S have a good offering at the moment eg these which I have in black.

Do you wear socks with the Mary Janes or trainers? I’m 45 and feel weird showing socks but it’s too cold for bare feet most days at the mo!

I absolutely love a red shoe with darker denim colours. I have a pair of M&S wide leg denim look trousers with the stripes down the side, wear them with a combination of trainers or my ballet style red flats (with a strap across) from Next. That ‘pop’ of red looks lovely imo.

My leopard print mary janes look amazing with wide leg jeans. I got them for £13 in a sale ages ago.

I got these, they’re nicer than I expected.

@CharlotteStreetW1 are these good for plantar sufferers? Any arch?

These are them.

The shoes you have mentioned should work with wide leg jeans so I think it’s probably the colour combination you don’t like. Sorry to throw out another Jean option but have you tried a barrel leg? Stop just above the shoe so you may prefer that look,

Really 😮thats outrageous!!! I hadnt noticed. I shop there a lot because I need a 5.5 which is difficult to find elsewhere.

If you like elegant non clumpy loafers with a pointed toe these are lovely. They come in other colours and leopard.AND they go right up to a size 11,
