Ask Angie: Need summer shoes

I have 2 pairs of summer trousers: one wide legged heavy linen in dark grey (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eileen.....-Darling-/) and one I am planning to buy from the Loft in green (http://www.loft.com/relaxed-li.....513&p) . However, I need new shoes. Is there one pair that would look nice with both? I do have a stacked neutral heel sandal for dressier occasions, but I would like a shoe that is uber comfy for long walks with a covered toe as I am a klutz. I have always been partial to Sesto Meucci and Aquatalia but can't find anything that would suit. If the two pants demand different shoes, well, so be it.

The wide pair seem to be asking for pointy toes...maybe in a perforated leather. Are these pants full length, almost floor sweeping on you?

The wider ones are harder for me to style with comfortable shoes closed-toe shoes unless I just go with the fact that they are very casual and wear something like slip-on tennies. Sort of a linen beach pant look. Others might wear Birks even though that may not be the uber-trending Birk look--you could still ride the wave. That's not closed-toe, though. The tapered pants probably are more forgiving of various flat shoe styles.

I see these very casual linen pants with flat thong sandals or espadrilles. I'm just not sure a closed shoe is going to work - and certainly not a dressy one.
