Fashion Question: What kind of shoes do you recommend that go with jeans?

[13stepscfh]

I generally wear classic sneakers with my jeans but would like to go a level up from them. I am pretty ignorant in this department so any help would be appreciated. I am looking for a type of shoe that I could wear everyday to college or just out on the town.

Doc Martens.


Cheers!

European styles are always good. German especially.

New Balances. They're all I wear! Great running shoes, great-looking street shoes. Now that I think about it, they are my work shoes too and I'm on my feet about 12 out of 13 hours at work. I barely notice it most of the day.

Oh, and they're made in the USA (kinda).

Airwalks are cool too.

Doc Martens are a good choice, now what shoe/style specifically?

i generally dislike ppl who wear sneakers with jeans it just shows u have no real fashion taste. U said u go to college so a easy solution would be converses, but if u want to mix it up if u wear like collared shirts u can also wear like proper classy shoes but if u do that make sure that your jeans are of the right calibre of ur shoes

air max 95's or casual wear. for shoes i'd get a few pair of aldo shoes, their stylish, have many styles and are also cheap enough to afford a few but expensive enough that people know the name and look nice.

I would go with either some dark brown chelsea boots, wing tips (the more broguing the better) or some loafers. These will all look good paired with dark denim which looks much more smarter IMO.

Don't get black shoes as they will look too formal with jeans (unless they are black jeans), and don't shine them for the same reason.

Stick to either a boot cut, straight or classic fit jean. You don't want baggy jeans with dressier shoes.

If your jeans are more of a lighter shade of denim you can't go wrong with a simple pair of grey sneakers. think classic Converse, Lacoste and Adidas e.t.c (the less branding on them the better they will look)

White sneakers look rubbish paired with dark jeans and black sneakers also look terrible with a light pair of jeans (other way around is fine). As I said you can't go wrong with grey, it goes well with any shade of denim. HTH
