Skirts and shoes

[andrew72]

Hello,

Apologies in advance for a daft question but I would like to know what style of shoe one would wear with skirts, especially long ones like mine. I have thought of deck style shoes and moccasins and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

Just a quick update, I have been out and about wearing my skirts. Okay, I say out and about, walking to the bottom of the garden and back. Practice for me as there are steps to negotiate.

Hello,

Apologies in advance for a daft question but I would like to know what style of shoe one would wear with skirts, especially long ones like mine. I have thought of deck style shoes and moccasins and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

As a guy, with guy size feet, I have little choice but to wear regular men's shoes. I tend to go for deck shoes or sandals in a casual setting and more typical black work shoes for formal settings. Beyond that it's just a matter of footwear for the job in hand so maybe hiking boots when walking the dog or barefoot indoors.

Hope that helps,


Ian.

For me, whatever's comfortable. Pretty much what Ian said.

For me I don't like tight shoes as I have spent so many years wearing them so I tend to now wear the canvas deck shoes or trainers ( or even flip flops ). I tend to wear whatever I would wear if I was sporting shorts or trousers/jeans. Normal shoe for formal occasions, deck shoes/trainers for every day. Not one to wear heels or women's shoes. My wife is shorter than me so any heel height is out anyway.

Hi Andrew,
Yup, if the shoe fits, wear it.
I'd also favour the boat style for casual wear. Last winter I also hyad a modicum of success with brogue style ankle boots which I wore with a variety of skirts.
Not sure which side of the "pond", you're on but I have a pair of Marks and Spencer's female "footglove" shoes. These have become my staple footwear for work when I wear a skirt. Apart from a slight size issue they are dead comfy.
As a total aside the brogues fell apart and I got a refund. However, due to their success in the looks department, i've kept an eye open for anther pair. The "Office" shoe shop has the very item, female sizes £65.00, identical male style £75.00. As far as I can tell, the only real difference is in the width. I'm intending to try both and may save a tenner into the bargain.
Steve.

Hi Andrew
I have two different types of shoe - the "office" black brogues, either black or tan - and trainers for more casual settings. I would wear the latter with all of my skirts (excepting the kilt where I would use the black shoes).

I would not wear the black shoes with my mini or other short skirt but would stick to trainers.

If you are putting on a long denim skirt, wear the same shoes as you would with long denim trousers. That's what I do, it's easy!

If the skirt is shorter and tights are on view, that changes things a bit. The clean lines of the tights demand a reasonably sleek pair of shoes, or the shoes look clumpy and out of proportion.

Best thing to do is get a long mirror, decide what you think works with each skirt, and go for it! Remember, to most onlookers, the realisation that you are wearing a skirt will whack their brains so hard that they won't pay any attention to your shoes, particularly if your skirt is long enough to hide them!
