I wear shoes like that with jeans all the time. Suitable for when I want something a bit more fancy than my trainers.

Jeans+trainers = some days at work, low end pubs, relaxing parties,

jeans + black shoes (almost exactly like the OP has) = some days at work, bit more classy pub, parties where I will do some networking, etc.

same black shoes + smart black trousers from GAP = job interviews, funerals, formal events etc.

Remember I'm from the UK, and we're a bit more diverse here.

I gave a reading at a cathedral last friday, where I was representing a rather large charity, to about 500 people. I wore my standard black shoes, like what the OP just bought, but older and a bit more scruffy, GAP black trousers, dark purple shirt and a black wool v-neck vest, which I think came from H&M. No tie. I almost never wear them. It was fine, I felt relaxed and confident.

I've noticed Americans obsess sometimes over tiny dress details - e.g. the right watch. Take a look at Pete Doherty for what we UK people regard as formal attire...
 
Even when I wear dress clothes I wear my red black and white vans (or some sort of nike)


once I had to wear my school shoes with jeans, it was pretty bad.

im 14 though, my dad wears farily dressy shoes most of the time. not too bad.
 
Thanks for all the comments and advice everyone. The more I look at them and think about it, I'm comfortable of the look in jeans.

Although they're "shiny" in appearance, they're not a really high polish as you see in really dressy shoes. I guess I was a little too worried. I hate to say that I care what people think, but I guess thats obviously the case. I didn't want anyone to point and laugh, haha. Although I'd still love the shoes just the same :D
 
I'd note in passing that we already generally find your sense of style, as a nation, quite good, and that this particular case study is not helping. :eek: ;)

As in Pete Doherty has good style or bad style? GQ rates him pretty high for style, I like his style, not really my type of personality, but I certainly wish I had some of his clothes.

I say go for it with those Pradas, they'll look great with darker jeans as others have said; just make sure they're of equal quality, nothing funnier than a $20 pair of jeans with a $500 pair of Prada shoes, or, especially, vice versa.
