They're on sale IN BLUE for $138 at my local Barney's

With jeans? With Chinos? Not at all?

Pass.

Don't do it. You'll regret it.

The shop won't let me see the link but just wanted to ask.

Do you have casual feet for those lower standard casual shoes?

With over 1500 posts I have to believe you knew what the reaction would be.

I can see the look you're going for and I think those shoes would work fine.
You did say you would use laces, right?

I've always found Loakes to be a bit clumpy and find the whole idea of jeans and shoes together utterly wrong! Sorry.

But getting back to the thread, Don't buy them! They are ridiculous!

If you want to wear leather shoes with jeans, go for captoe oxfords or minimal brogue'ing.

I have no use for florsheim shoes except for scrap leather. (And that includes the by DB line)

This is fine, though I have seen brogues work with jeans plenty of times. My subjective opinion is better than yours..!
