new here, need help with jeans / dressy shoes

[ajk5136]

Hey everyone,

i'm loving all the ideas on this thread, if someone can help me out with dress jeans and dressy shoes i'd really appreciate it.

So basically I've got a slim body, and i'm looking suggestions for slim dressy jeans, preferably dark in colour and and a pair of dressy shoes which I can wear with jeans. I'm really new here so please forgive my ignorance, I'm wearing a pair of johnson and murphys which are killing me when i walk, for a quick stroll they're fine, but for walking they really kill my ankle and the back of my legs, and i think its because of the heel.

So I guess something dressy / boots (laceups) which goes with jeans? if anyone can throw me some suggestions I would really appreciate it!
Merci!

OH BY THE WAY, I STUPIDLY FORGOT, MY BUDGET FOR THE DRESS SHOES IS AROUND $100 OR SO!

You can get some nice oxfords at off saks or neiman marcus last call for around $150. You have to find something that fits your feet though.

You Might Try Something Like Bass Weejuns. They're Easy Enough To Find And Right Around Your Price Range. I Would Reccomend The Burgandy Or The Suede Ones That Have Popped Up On Their Website.

As For The J&ms, They May Be The Wrong Size Or They May Just Need To Break In.

Btw, All Caps Is Considered Shouting And Is Very Annoying To Read.

Hey thanks man, my apologies for the caps, the J&MS i've had for more than a year so they've broken in, they're just killing my feet on walks, thank you for the suggestions though man!

Contact member voxsartoria, he might have some spare Aleen Edmonds seconds that he'll be willing to sell at a reasonable price.

By the way, these aren't exactly dressy in a SF type of way, but I love the shoes, especially with jeans. Very comfortable and stylish. I think it's possible to find them cheaper. I bought them for around $40, but I got really lucky. http://www.endless.com/dp/B001KN3NG4...SIN=B001KN3NG4 (the espresso color)
