Sharon asks…

What kind of shoes should a 50 year old woman wear with jeans?

Our pick of the answers:

Your shoes should coordinate with the mood of the top, since jeans can be anything from working in the garden to casual saturday to dressed up for the restaurant. If you are wearing a nice blouse and a good jacket, then wear dressy shoes -such as Anna Wintour's suggestion of kitten heel pumps. If you are in a t-shirt and merely out and about running errands, then flats, moccasin inspired shoes, and in summer low heeled sandals are good choices. Boots are good in cold weather, if you are going for a dressy look wear dressy boots, don't spoil a look by wearing good jeans, a nice blouse, dressy coat and then wearing heavy hiking boots. Low heeled leather boots with fake fur trims are big this winter and pair well with jeans for casual looks. Save the sneakers for when you are doing something athletic, I agree that jeans and sneakers can look sloppy sometimes. And if you can still wear higher heels, by all means wear nice mid or heeled pumps with you jeans especially if the rest of your outfit is dressy and classy. As we get into the late 40's and early fifties, our feet can sometimes be problems, but we don't want to sacrifice style for old lady support shoes, at least not quite yet! I know I don't, and I'm approaching fifty far too fast! Many fashionable shoes are made with soft soles and padded inner linings. If your feet are problems, then you are better off buying fewer pairs and better quality. Ballet flats are popular with the younger set, but they aren't the best choice for women our age. I find too flat shoes give me shin splints, those cramps in the legs, while low heels are far more comfortable. Compounding the flat shoe problem is that many fashion flats are cheaply made from plastics which aren't healthy and don't breathe, flats are not a good option. Don't fall into the "i'm fifty so now I have to dress like a frump" trap. At fifty you can dress classy, fashionable, and you probably have more money and more confidence than you did in your twenties. Show it off! And remember, that investing in good quality shoes that fit properly is important, even sneakers can pinch the feet and be uncomfortable if they are made of cheap materials and don't fit correctly. And stay away from crocs, unless you are working in the garden!! Don't listen to anyone who whines that they are so comfortable...they make your feet look like big plastic boats, and really, do you want your feet to look five times bigger than they really are?
