    What is the obsession with brown and variations of it when it comes to mens shoes. many nice shoes do not come in black/blue but in all shades of s****y brown

    Eh...because it looks good!! Black can be boring all the time.

    Because most black shoes in shops here are rank. Blame the buyers in the shops.


    Pretty much sums it up.

    I love my brown shoes. They look great with a black/navy suit.

    Simple really, most jeans men wear are going to be some shade of blue. And black shoes are absolutely horrific looking with blue jeans.
    I only wear black shoes with a suit.

    Personally i dont like tan brown shoe colour, i tend to go for a dark shade of brown. Cant go wrong then :)

    I have 5 pairs of brown and 3 pairs of black.
    I prefer brown with jeans or navy trousers.
    I like nice runners with jeans too.

    Is there such a thing as nice runners ?
    Im 31 this year and i've not wore runners with jeans since my early 20's :eek:

    Vans make nice sneakers/trainers, are those runners? Runners I'd picture as whatever skangers (or to a lesser extent people who're actually running) wear.

    Black shoes and jeans are fine, just not the polished type.

    Vans are too low and don't have enough support for my feet. I tried them. I have an old heel injury from football and Vans don't suit it at all.
