I have a pair of oxfords already but I am worried that they can't match to everything due to the red sole at the bottom. I was wondering should I be worried about the red sole even if red is not in my outfit or will the neutral color of shoe outplay the red and should match the outfit regaurdless. I dont want to wear like white with this shoe and have red just stand out from my shoe and I have no red on you know.

I was wondering should I stick to these shoes as all around shoe no matter what I put on it should match and the red shouldnt matter or buy the same shoe or differnent color sude show with a more nuetral sole to wear more freely!!!!

Please help I think I be wasting money if I buy the same sude color but different sole but at the same time I am wondering could I just do without and dont worry about the red sole since the shoe is already a neutral color itself nice brown that can go with basically anything!!!!!

The shoes in the picture are derbies, not oxfords. They or similar shoes would work perfectly fine e.g. with denim or with relaxed white or cream-coloured chinos regardless of the presence of red anywhere else.

Whether they can be used "all year round" depends on the climate where you live, how you usually dress and if you ever need to dress any differently. They would not look good with a dark suit for a funeral, for instance. Or with a dark suit in any context, for that matter.

(By the way, I think your post may need a few more exclamation marks. As it is, it runs the risk of not being noticed. The second part of your heading only has eight exclamation marks. You really should never use less than fifteen in a heading.)
