^ Find a pic of someone wearing dark tan or oxblood shoes. Open the pic with a photo editor. Select 100 for color saturation. And 'viola' (as people like to say in these parts) you have black shoes.

But, yes, you are quite right. White shoes would appear white in a black and white film.

To divine other colors, as I say, you'd need Shooey's third eye. Once again, I  can only applaud him for having developed this skill as a child even before he'd become a sproutarian and returned his birth certificate to the Illuminati headquarters..

haha

Shooey, that J&M pair you showed above are not from the Handmade line.  That was a less expensive version that was made in the 1960's- 1970's.  They are modern shoes.


During this time, J&M brought back that wingtip design and re-marketed it.  They DID do a true "Hand-made" line shoe... complete with all the fixin's and awesome closed channel sole treatment.  That pair above was a step below (and at a much more affordable cost).

Just a trip to the local Lidl was enough to prove you right Shoo.
