Ballet pumps and baggy jeans?

I usually wear trainers but in the recent heatwave I tried to find cooler shoes. (I dont like sandals).
Bought some pumps and my jeans are all too long or cover the shoes. I dont really do cropped or skinny jeans. They are too wide to roll up. And would look odd taken up i think.
Do the shoes need to go back?!

Yes as I think the proportions are wrong. I quite like a chunky sandal or some bostons with jeans

Oh sorry I just saw you don’t like sandals. The clogs then? I find ballet flats quite hot tbh as I wouldn’t wear socks with them. Ballet trainers as another option?

You wear jeans in a heatwave?! Get some shorts or dresses!

I don't like ballet pumps with anything at all...so flat and I think they make feet look weird! And they make everyone seem so...imbalanced? Depends on the type but the just remind me of 2010!
What don't you like about sandals?

Good point re jeans/heatwave. Heatwave ended and shoes arrived, tried them on with jeans.

Not sure why I don't like sandals, just not keen. Maybe it's my feet i don't like! The only ones I maybe liked are pretty much what I was wearing 15-20 years ago. So probably dated but maybe that doesn't matter.

The ballet pumps are so comfortable but not the chic look I thought!

I love trainers but find the ballet trainers odd. Not sure about clogs. Im a bit awkward!!

I’ve found the only solution is to have different length jeans for different shoes 🤷🏼‍♀️
