Black/Amaretto Boat shoe yay or nay?

[NotchLapel]

I recently bought a pair of boat shoes which are black/amaretto. I feel that boat shoes need some accent. I like the feel and the versatility of my recent purchase but maybe I should have bought something with a little more color? What do you guys think?

I don't think the words black leather and boat shoe belong on the same page.

I woulda stuck with classic browns. Contrast isn't needed, though it can be nice on leather/canvas models.

+1. I like boat shoes in different colors, but not black.

Yay. I like it. I'm not sure black will look as long as brown, but mixing it up a bit can help.

Problem with all of these boat shoes is that they're made in china. The quality ain't what it used to be (and I'm 31!).
