HY, of course (http://www.howardyount.com/collections/wool-pants/products/four-season-super-100s-light-gray).

Uhh...tan? I like the look of the trousers, but I'm struggling to imagine any of my pairs of shoes looking good with them.

Brown suede, snuff suede, blue suede, suede suede suede.

Or black.

I would wear any shade of brown or cordovan. Black, though in the same family, would present too harsh a contrast. But browns and gray mix well, and burgundy can mix with lots of things with no trouble.

+1. Black would be too much. Light brown.

IMO shiny brown or burgundy calf would be too rich for very light gray. But the flatness of suede takes the edge off. Remember this pic? He's wearing about the same shade as the OP's pants with black shoes and it looks good.

"Flatness of suede takes the edge off"... I like that idea...

Tan or brown-red shoes would look great as black can look too severe.

Also, spectator shoes and saddle shoes, but not the mostly white kind.

With such a light gray, I would say a light shade of brown or tan.

Brown including suede, black less so.

That's what I (originally) thought. Which makes them somewhat less than versatile, though I think chocolate suede could work.

...For those who mentioned black--perish the thought! smile.gif I never wear black shoes.
