Have you ever wondered what shoes to wear with cropped jeans? After all, cropped jeans are a complete departure from the puddle cut or the iconic 2000s styles. They are almost similar to capri jeans, but with a more elongated hem, which reaches just at or above the ankles. This means that your footwear will be the focal point of the look, so your choice can’t just be random.
