Suggestion of shoes to be worn with denim.

[southbound35]

Surprised I didn't find a thread asking this same question with the search function.

I definitely lean much more to the MC side of things than the S&D side. But, I do occasionally find myself out where dress pants or chinos seem a bit out of place.

I'd love to see some suggestions for what would look good with dark denim without being too S&D.

I do like these shoes that vox sports with denim.

Look into chelseas, chukkas, and wingtip oxfords, from your favorite MC-approved shoemaker. In case you had missed the gargantuan "non-sneaker streetwear shoes" thread, which is on page 2 as of this writing... http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=87638 ... Paul Smith, Alden, Allen Edmonds get a lot of rep.

I did miss that gargantuan thread; there are some great shoes there.

I'm a big fan of Chukka style. Also I don't think what your wearing would look bad with a beat pair of converse Jp, thats just me though; I dont wear any workwear

Any chukkas you would suggest I look at?

I do have and like JP's, but I'm looking for something a bit more dressy.

I'm not sure about the quality but I've always liked the shape of the opening ceremony desert boots.

^ quality = crap

I recently purchased a pair of Boot Co. by Timberland shoes from Revolve and although a bit skeptical at first, upon trying them on a bit around the house yesterday and pairing them with my different jeans and chino's I think they look great as a dressier shoe with a bit more of a casual touch. Their low version chukka's look great, although I got the cap toe as the chukka wasn't available in brown in my size. Comfortable as a pair of sneakers too, good first impression now we'll see how they hold up.

Loake makes a really nice pair of Chukka. Also, different type of shoe but these Grenson Kirks look awesome

Some of those do look pretty cool. Though I'm looking for something a bit dressier right now, I'll keep those in the back of my mind for later.

I don't know why, but I'm just not a wing-tip fan.

I do like these.

I do like them, but am looking for something more dressy right now.
