Blue shoes

I used to have a pair of blue suede Puma Platinum's (the Florida rain put an end to them...), they looked fantastic.

I see from the answers that when it comes to blue shoes, mostly people think of sneakers and loafers. I do not like loafers, and I already have a pair of blue leather sneakers (from Bally, which appears to be considered to be crap here on SF, but at least the sneakers are comfortable). I do not mind wearing those sneakers with the cotton/linen jacket I mentioned above, but I am looking for a more "serious" pair of lace-ups (or maybe monkstraps) that I can wear to work, with or without tie (in summer we get quite informal at work, so blue shoes would be acceptable, but you are normally expected to wear a tie, and wearing sneakers would be going too far, IMO, except, maybe, on a summer Friday).

Blue shoes are perfectly acceptable if you happen to be a portly arriviste with an obsession for looking "upper class" (sic.).

Moreschi does a blue calf and peccary. Cow and Chicken?

I think the previous poster may be confusing blue-blooded with blue-cher.

I think peccary is a kind of boar. The Moreschi shoes in the link look quite nice, but the Mantellassi once I mentioned looked much nicer. USD 485 is quite a lot for something that is much less nice than what I can get for EUR 680. Also, I had a pair of Moreschi shoes years ago, and the leather was very nice at the beginning but with use it became "extended" and the shoes got to big for my feet. In the end I gave them to charity.

A few years ago, I picked up some blue suede shoes made by Church's. They are like my simple, white bucks with a crepe sole, but are a deep blue (closer to navy than to royal blue). I absolutely love them! Occassions to wear them are few, but relished.

Romano Martegani can do a made-to-order shoe in dark blue, in pretty much any model and last you want - I believe the color name is "tornado".

Price would probably be $375 or thereabouts.
