How to wear these?

[mdoherty519]

I bought a cheap pair of black leather drivers before I knew what drivers were as a shoe to wear with my charcoal suit. Now that In realize they aren't really appropriate for suits, I'm not really sure when to wear them. They look almost exactly like these in black.

Can I wear these casually? With socks or without? With jeans or chinos?

They have the "bumpy" leather texture that these have. Too funky?

Thanks

Jeans, chinos, shorts, sockless.....all yes. They are a casual shoe. You would have been better served with brown leather but black can work.
