Playing devil’s advocate, OP, perhaps those bars aren’t your thing? If they require shoes and you don’t like shoes, maybe there are other bars you haven’t yet tried that have a more relaxed dress policy?
If you’re dead set on them, how about a driving loafer with no socks? Or smart deck shoes?
You can’t go wrong with a decent brown brogue or Oxford and, if you go to a good shop, they can be comfortable. |

You are right mate they probably not my thing at all just looking for a change of scene mostly every time we go out it’s the same faces same bar which isn’t an issue I enjoy drinking there just need to move on in life and meet new people not getting any younger a few mates suggest going there and was worried about not getting in as only wear trainers |

Black or white dress trainers would be fine (rather than sports/gym trainers) and can still look smart if not worn with other sports clothes. Brown or tan boots look nice with jeans. I like Timberland style boots as well. |

Yeah they look much more relaxed than shoes in my opinion, but still stylish. Always wear black socks though  |

Dear OP, you sound like a lounge lizard who is aspiring for all things 'Champagne' but only willing to give the effort of 'Lemonade'.
Wear a pair of dark suede Chelsea boots, slip ons, no need to aimlessly fumble with laces, relatively inexpensive. Alternatively, a pair of black Chukka boots. Your feet will thank you for it and you may even get a sartorial nod of approval from the opposite sex.
Failing that, just blag a pair of counterfeit retro-style Sergio Tacchini™ trainers and imbibe at your nearest Wetherspoon 'bar'. |

Haha mate the weatherspoons here is the poshest bar in town believe it or not, well maybe not now since top club became the lairds house a land mood opened but I consider them restaurants not bars
I’ll look at those suggestions cheers mate honestly it’s not so much lack of effort I just like what’s comfortable 99% of time in work gear or gym clothes only get dressed a bit to go out |
