They seem too dressy to be worn with jeans, to me anyway. They don't stand out too much with slim jeans?

I do like them, just want to make sure I will get good use out of them before I decide to keep them.

'Course, I'm a small-timer, so the above is me thinking mostly in terms of A-E, Alden, and C&J benchgrade. Though the brown quarter-brogues would be from Carmina.


Those should cover most occasions. A pair of loafers would be a good addition.
