Anyone able to help me buy/pick shoes?

Hi,
I wear chinos into work, navy or similar. Dark colours are what I like and I also wear navy or grey jumpers etc.

I'm looking for a pair of boat shoes but I can't decide which colour.

Will all these colours work with the kind of clothes I wear?

These look nice aswell but I'd be worried that they won't wear well.

I think my favourite timberland ones above are the brown followed by grey.

Any help much appreciated because I don't know how to match clothes.

I like 'em in brown. I've always had a bit of an issure with grey shoes. I know it's a neutral colour and should sit well with everything but I always think that grey showes jar uneasly with everything. They are a bit, to use an old phrase, spiv.
The black looks wrong in a mocasson, kinda like you are trying to be formal and failing.
The brown on the other hand look natural, go well with anything. It simply looks the best for a day time work shoe.

The brown ones are my favourite aswell, I just wasn't sure if they would go well with navy or black chinos with dark colour jumpers or with light coloured shirts (blues or creams, light grey).

You do seem to think so though?

Yep, brown is good. Check this image:
