What shoes with these?

[dessiato]

Because they are a brighter red than my other red trousers, and because they are not chino, I'm not sure which shoes I need. I don't want white, I don't want too casual. I don't like the shoes in the pic.

Suggestions, please.

What's the occasion or context? I would go for one black converse hi-top and one white, although maybe that's too casual.

Just everyday. Going shopping, work, no special occasion.

flipflops
or crocs

I've two pairs of these which work with my dark red trousers, I don't think they're appropriate for bright red jeans. Mine are oxblood.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

some sort of loafer or espadrilles with no socks

No they are not
Any kind of "proper" shoe looks absolutely dreadful with any kind of jeans.
Clarkson territory that is.

More seriously, Converse obvs.

I think you're right. Faded black espadrilles it is.

Bollocks

Bollocks

Um, absolutely not bollocks!
Absolutely dreadful IMO

Suggestions, please.

Don't buy them!

Red strides on a man of your age? Those are a particularly offensive shade of red too. Leave them to the army officers. I hear kebabking has quite a collection.

Not half as bad as people over the age of 25 wearing trainers.

some shoes look great with jeans, and men over 25 look just fine in trainers.

 

[dessiato]

The more I look at the op pic, the more I think those shoes are OK.

 

[killer b]

the shoes in the pic are fine. I'd wear something like them or off-white converse

 

[dessiato]

I've got some of these. But I think they're not appropriate

Doesn't count.

Don't do it! A darker shade might look slightly less ridiculous but those would even make Michael Portillo cry.

You don't really want our opinion, you're just flaunting your garish kecks!
