What shoes would suit this dress for a second date?

Ok
i actually have a second date for once. I’ve bought this dress to wear. But now I’m at a total loss what sort of shoes to wear.
it’s too cold for proper sandals and I don’t want tall heels as it doesn’t seem to fit. I don’t like my foot too exposed if that makes sense and I would like a bit of a heel/wedge not flats as I’m short.
Please help me out!
Bonus if they’re a size 6 and on Vinted x
Thank you!

I don't think it's overdressed for a nice pub anyway, but it's nice to make some effort for dates! If it makes you feel good and confident then definitely wear it.
My first thought was espadrilles, I love the navy options from @NoDiamond

It’s gorgeous and you’ll feel amazing in it , so wear it why the hell
not and good luck with the shoes

I love it. Perfect for your date 👌🏻 good luck and enjoy the yummy food.

I think it's a great dress but possibly not for this time of year. I'd need a woolly cardi with it which might not be the look you're going for!

I'm rubbish with knowing which shoes to wear but would probably go with metallic trainers.

Have a great time!

It’s perfect for a Michelin star pub! They are smart casual and I’d suggest sling back kitten heels. Or higher. These are M&S and are “go anywhere” shoes.

I don’t think it’s overdressed for a nice pub date at all, it’s really nice.
I’d probably wear it with trainers and your Superga sound perfect @HopefulBeliever
