I personally
hate black shoes with jeans. Althought it
may look okay if properly matched, I just don't like it
I picked up a pair of nice leather brown dressy/casual shoes from Bata for $45 yesterday. Goes awesome with dark jeans with a fade of brown.
My advice is put on the jeans you're gonna wear the shoes with, and go to the store and try on every damn pair :beer:
Oh yeah, go with someone that has a good fashion sense. Their opinions can help you a lot. I value my brother's opinion more than mine when it comes to buying clothes/shoes
