Ok bee’s I dont know why I am having such a hard time with this but I need some help. When I wear jeans I normally wear cute little heals, flats, flipflops, boots or some type of shoe other than sneakers or tennis shoes. I am very pick when it comes to sneakers and I will see pairs I like on other people and then try to remember what they looked like and look for them later online and have no luck finding them. So what I’m asking is, do you wear sneakers with jeans? Do you have a certain pair to wear with your jeans? Can you post pictures?
Thanks girls!

I wear sneakers with jeans most of the time during the winter. Just normal Pumas.

I’m not a huge fan of the sneakers and jeans look. I try to wear nice sandals or cute ballet flats, but I guess it depends on the look I’m going for. I do have a plain white pair of sneakers that I have worn with more relaxed jeans (think boyfriend jeans) when I just threw on a tshirt to go grocery shopping. I could never wear my running sneakers with jeans though.

I have a pair of nikes that I’ve completely worn down with the use of my jeans. i think you should try to find more classic sneakers (with flat bottoms, not especially designed for sports or running) because those tend to look the best with jeans IMO.

@Boston Bee:
Same; it’s like a physical aversion for me. I’ve never done it and never can.

@Boston Bee: Thats how I feel! Last week I had on a white and green st. patty’s day tshirt and I was gonna wear my black flats, which I thought looked fine and my fi stopped me and said ummmm, I’m not to sure about those shoes. So I went and looked in the mirror and he was right, it did look odd with a casual teeshirt and black flats, so I switched into boot cut jeans and put on sneakers, and it definitely looked a lot better but I still felt odd.

Unless I’m going somewhere nice, I almost always wear sneakers with my jeans. I’m a bigger fan of dark grey sneakers, or any darker sneaker w/ jeans. I’m not a fan of light or white sneakers with them. I have to say that it’s almost always a running shoe too.

My fi and I and his friends are going to wwe tonight in our city (yes my fi is obsessed with wrestling but luckily we have a box!). And he pulled out tshirts for me to wear to ‘fit in’ – not positive I’ll wear them but willing to take a look after work. And I’m stumped on what shoes to wear. I’m thinking I may wear leggings and flats and the tshirt cuz it will probably be a lil longer on me since its one of his from when he was a teenager lol.

I hardly ever wear sneakers unless I’m exercising or at the animal shelter– I am a big fan of flipflops or flats with jeans!
I had to edit this after reading the PP about converse! I do have a pair of high tops and will occasionally wear sneakers– gold Air Force One’s (sale section on the children’s rack!) or some high top Adidas neon colored shoes, though I wear these the way I might wear some fierce boots, they’re definitely a focal point when I wear them!

If I wear sneakers with my jeans I wear more “fashion” sneakers than actual shoes I’d run in.
Something like these usually:

I think there is a difference between sneakers & runners. I would never wear runners with jeans, but often I wear cute sneakers with jeans.
I classify runners as shoes that I would wear to go to the gym or do exercise in.
That being said I wear my boyfriend jeans, or cropped jeans with these Roxy sneakers that I absolutely LOVE. Roxy has a ton of cute sneakers that look great with jeans.

I hate hate hate hate hate sneakers with jeans. I don’t even know why because I’m not at all a fashionable person and I’ve been known to go to the grocery store in yoga pants (like… at least twice a month). But for some reason I just canNOT wear sneakers unless they are actually required for what I’m planning to do (like… sometimes I’ll wear cute pumas on vacation when I know I’m going to be doing a ton of walking). From like March-October I wear flip flips (I try to get cute ones though! Right now I’m rocking my wedding flip flops which are platform and sparkly). In the winter I usually wear ballet flats or riding boots (when there is snow).

I never wear sneakers. All winter/ spring in WI I wear boots (you have to or you’d be all wet). I wear black knee-high boots. If someone twisted my arm and I had to, I would probably wear my converse.
ETA: I would only wear dark ones (brown or black converse with jeans) personally.
