Flat shoes - a survey

[monkeysmama]

Good evening

I am doing a quick survey to assist me in my quest for something to wear with straight leg jeans & trousers that isn't Converse or ballet pumps.

There is only one question.

What flat shoes (not boots) do you wear with jeans and trousers (not skinnies/leggings etc tucked in)?

links would be great.

Thank you very much

I too would like to know the answer to this - as it is strictly ballet pumps or converse for me (and I don't really like my converse either). Are there any real alternatives?!

I've just bought these having lived in my red pair until the soles are almost worn through.

Not glamorous I'll admit but I'm definitely a subscriber to the comfort 1st rule where shoes are concerned

There must be!

I've just bought these.

I haven't tried them with skinnies yet but they are so flat I can't see they'll be less efficiently jeans-compatible that ballet pumps.

They're better-looking in the flesh/fake leather, as it were.

Basically, I was loitering nostalgically in L. K. Bennett and wishing that war had not been declared on the kitten heel. I then wandered into DP and ... succumbed, because they looked like a secret kitten-heel, that I could wear without being mocked.

I'm wondering if it's time to stage a kitten-heel come-back, on the tail-coats of the vintage thing?

There are some trainer type shoes in Next at the moment which don't look sporty, I am wearing those mostly.

However I have no idea about fashion etc so may be barking completely up the wrong tree

these are very comfy and look pretty good too, I have them in black tho

I have these from KangaRoo. Not very glamorous (especially as wider in reality than they look in this picture) but supremely comfortable and can be smartened up a bit too, being black leather and all.

Thanks for replies so far. What about everyone else?

MM, this is the bane of my life too. I hate ugly flat shoes with a passion. That's why this year I am wearing fly mol boots. Stylish flat shoes in winter I don't think exist!

I like these and buy a variation every year
Currently have very natty snakeskin alike ones

or are they too close to converse for you?

I haven't got any so I am watching with interest, I kind of like these

But I'm not a pottery teacher, so don't know if I can pull it off

Ooh, like those Ronald although they wouldn't work for me. I look like a clown in canvas shoes.

I wear Campers - ballet pump style ones in summer (look at Peu) or trainer-style ones (Ivar??). But I have small feet and not much choice. Under work trousers I wear a flat lace-up.

What about a Chelsea boot - there are some very swish versions around that would fit neatly under a slim leg trouser. Or a shiny loafer - weren't these trendy this year?

they're leather but if trainers are a no I dunno

Poppity I'm sure I saw a similar black pair in the Clarks sale.

Ronald I like those but have 3 pairs of converse I never wear as I have long thin feet and they feel like flippers.

I want something smarter but not too smart. I don't want boots (have plenty) but want a shoe....

Ooo, thanks, will look

I just bought these. They're lovely .

I like these brogues
