Agree it is the rolled-up thing which looks odd, esp for work. Might be better if they were just cropped? I do
like the shoes in both pics though.

Actually the gap ones don't look too bad - you have to be a teen or a very thin, attractive person in your low twenties to wear the urban outfitters or landsend ones though.

the lands end ones do look silly, but the rolled up thing really doesn't if it's done properly, and it looks good with heels. Even if you are over 25. It's v flattering

There are 2 reasons why I won't be sporting this look
1 - I have no high heeled shoes
2 - I have no chinos!!

Well I love it. Heels do not always mean dressy, and heels with this look make the chinos less frumpy.

I'd wear the chinos rolled up with killer heels, printed t, and a well cut blazer.

i got those gap chinos for £9.99 in sale, was going to return them as frumpy.

but once i have dropped £150 on swedish clogs and rolled them up of course it will all be fine....
