Sneakers yes but never running/working out shoes with jeans. That shit just looks weird and super awkward.

Sneakers vs. loafers depending on the shirt.

the only excuse anyone who doesn't wear jeans and tennis shoes anymore is that their legs got cut off

I've noticed that it's becoming increasingly hard to find sneakers that aren't a bright color. I usually just end up buying leather sneakers for wear with jeans.

Jeans and Chuck Taylors for life.... I like them because they don't look oversized.

Age 25 to 26 when I started wearing dusty brown cowboy boots due to dating a cowgirl [who loved to ride all night long]:

http://www.rustyzipper.com/shop.cfm?viewpartnum=163328

Once we broke up and I transferred to California for work - I re-started wearing [white walking] sneakers with cargo pants/jeans whenever possible as my work requires A LOT of walking. Currently sporting Nike Air Monarch IV's [thanks to a friend who works at Nike]

http://www.staceyreid.com/news/?p=3260

They do squeak.... so maybe it's time to replace them..

I have a pair of Sketchers sneakers [http://www.flipkart.com/skechers-507...dh9cdv9vhh5gs] which I wear if I need to "dress it up" a bit

at that temperature I'd avoid jeans too but apparently people who are native of those climates don't mind the heat and will wear long jeans and shirts and shoes even if they have no obligation to.

I'm 30 and I still do it, even at work. I consider the lax dress code to be a benefit. There is a special place in hell for whoever invented the current business dress code.

I wear sneakers with jeans when I'm not at work. I think that black sneakers tend to look good with jeans.

Black suede or canvas vans and jeans are about all I wear to work.

That and the polo shirt are pretty much standard uniform for software devs around here.
