I admit that I am too conservative in my footwear to even consider wearing those sorts of colours.

This thread must be a little like that proverbial exploding cigar...


For business purposes, unless the man is in high fashion like that assistant in "Ugly Betty", no. But same goes for shoes without laces or those awful light brown/tan shoes. One of the worst offenders are dainty, poor quality slip ons.

For casual, i am a lot more open and if the shoe is done nicely and goes with the outfit I can live with a variety of colors and shades; navy blue calf or suede being the most likely to elicit positive results, maybe a jaguar green suede.

Shoes lighter than E. Greens Antique Chestnut, should never be worn under any circumstances.

It would be difficult to take a man with colored shoes seriously in a business setting...
I would imagine that the offending wearer of bright yellow shoes would take whatever money was given him and skip out to Mexico for some unspecified elective surgery. Or perhaps I would mistake a man wearing colored shoes for a pimp.

Ken, I have seen far worse on that thread.


Now, these are interesting. Im not sure where I would use them yet but it's rare that a built in patina could  exist like this and gain some acceptance.
