I have two. One narrower dark dress belt to go with brown dress shoes, and and one wider medium brown belt I wear with jeans.

wtf
So you wear the same colour and width belt and buckle no matter the colour of your shoes, no matter if you have on jeans, chinos, odd trousers, cords, summer linens or a suit? This may be the pot calling the kettle black but you might get a bit less aggro on this board if you didn't answer in such a way as you are right, it's non negotiable, and everyone who disagrees is wrong. We don't live in a black and white world.
No, but we live in a world where it isn't necessary (or even desirable) to wear belts that exactly match our shoes. You only need one brown dress belt to accommodate a range of brown-colored shoes.
I assume brown suede shoes don't go with alligator belts, however?
Why not? Sounds fine to me.
The cracked look of an alligator belt with really soft looking suede shoes seems jarring.

I agree with the substance of this theory (though I have a couple more just because I particularly like belts), but I think you should at least allow for one large heavy leather belt for jeans in addition to the 'gator, just in case one doesn't like ribbon belts with jeans. I confess to having two 'jeans belts': one brown, one black. But one natural-coloured one would probably be enough.
I guess this is right: I myself wear a thicker, more casual leather belt with jeans. However, it has nothing to do with trying to match my shoes.
Then we're in full agreement.

Blegh. Don't do it.
