oxblood vs. burgundy vs. brown

[greg.turner]

All my life I've relied on black shoes. They've served me well, and I love them. Recently, though, (very recently!) I've been thinking more about wearing clothes that are seasonally and regionally appropriate. I live in Florida, so this means some brown in winter.

I'd like some advice on which would be a more versatile shoe color: oxblood/burgundy or dark brown? I simply can't make myself buy a tan shoe, so that's right out. You all have any thoughts?

Florida = tan.

Go do it.

Figure out what you'll be wearing with them and go from there.

Oxblood will go better with blue than brown will, IMO.

On the other hand, dark brown is a more classic color. And mid-brown is a good thing with, say, business casual.

Get both burgundy and dark brown.
