Personally I think those shoes are too light for dark denim. For one thing they will transfer dye, for two it wouldn't be a good match (generally) because they aren't very versatile... you probably wouldn't want to wear them to work, the pub, and a date.
Obvious suggestion: go with a darker brown derby shoe, or a boot for a first piece of everyday footwear.

I never considered the issue with the transfer of dye. I wear denim probably five days a week. You’d be surprised how hard it is to buy a decent pair of shoes in Perth. People here dress very, very casually. I rarely see anything other than sneakers with streetwear.

Look too old? You think a brown derby with denim is for old people? I’m 23 and I’m trying to dress older!

I’m confused. Are you looking for a brown derby shoe too, or do you think they look too formal and I should go for a different type of shoe?

thoughts?

or should i just save up and get something better later.?

I like the second one better. But the pairs of metal lace holders at the top look pretty weird

Alright, this thread is wayy too big, so I apologise if it sounds like a repeat question. I'm looking for new set of shoes that are similar to these:

Black. Sleeker than a work boot that can be worn with slacks. I kind of bought these on impulse when I was a student since they were on sale, but now that I earn a steady income, I'd like to get a new pair (preferably in my actual size, too).
