Brown shoes/Grey suit..its time

[tonylumpkin]

Alright, I need to get away from the black shoes with the grey suit. Not much money to spend at the moment, so how do these look?

thats a bit too casual for a suit, IMO. "Proper" would be a bal, rather than a blucher, and w/o the split toe.

^^^ +1, especially the split-toe part. Also, those are listed as cordovan and not brown (not that there's anything wrong with cordovan with a gray suit).

OK. Two answers and its already apparent that I haven't educated myself well enough on this subject. So...its not yet time! I'll be back.

Just to provide clarification, shoes made of cordovan leather (horsehide from the rump) are praised highly on this forum and elsewhere. There is also the color cordovan which has nothing to do with the material.
