What footwear with jeans?

[MitchT]

In another thread I read that trainers with jeans is a total no-no. I agree and I'd never do it. However, in the same thread I also read that shoes with jeans is a total no-no too. I usually wear casual slip-on shes with jeans, so clearly I'm perpetrating a serious transgression of style laws. So, if you can't wear trainers with jeans, and you can't wear shoes with jeans, what, exactly, should you be wearing with jeans?

Has the Fashion Victim Thread finally arrived?

Not really, I don't actually give a toss and will probably continue wearing comfy shoes, 'cause that's what I like to do, but I was curious as to what the answer was given that trainers and shoes pretty much covers most footwear but neither are considered acceptable.

Do you really care that much about what strangers on the internet suggest you should or shouldn't wear?

No, like I said above, I was just curious as to what people who didn't approve of trainers or shoes would be wearing, given that trains and shoes covers pretty much everything. Okay, it's a slow Sunday. I don't feel like doing anything productive and the OH is glued to her laptop, hence the discussion!

Is this for a night out/casual function? How about some brown shoes, you can pick a pair up from Burtons etc for about £20/30.

Just for general casual time... Being out-and-about during the day, etc. Incidentally, I do have some brown shoes.
