Hmm, Bel Air, I guess. I never liked closed laced shoes with jeans, never

 

[bdeuce22]

if i had to pick one i'd pick the second one, but i personally do not like any of those.

Yeah, go for a blucher. Bals can work with jeans too, but only if they are weathered or have some other casual detail, IMO (like PS Starrs for example). I like the second one.

Number two.

You would look like a tool wearing them with jeans to be honest.

Sorry to bust in on your forum, but if you're looking for the brogue to wear with jeans the PRL Marlow is the ****.

That's what I wear.

#2 of that lot, but track down some Florsheim Kenmoors on ebay (or AE McNeils, etc.). The PRL are great, too, if you've got the cash.

The thick (double?) sole makes the shoe a little chunkier and casual and thus perfect for jeans.

I have some RLPL bals that I wear with jeans, but they are a lot more casual looking than those AEs. I think a pair of Paul Smiths would be a much better investment to wear with jeans.

#2 Will look good with some wear. Just like PS starrs

 

[constant struggle]

#2 if you wear sleek slim jeans
#3 if you go for baggier jeans

The Marlows/Darltons really are pretty much ideal.

EDIT: The Ash, also on Shoebacca, is the same last, with a plain toe and a pebble-grain finish. It's $260 or so. Also a nice, chunky, double-soled blucher for jeans.
