Suggestions for versatile brown shoes?

[leftover_salmon]

Looking for a pair of brown shoes that I can wear with standard navy (and/or charcoal) suits at work (finance) as well as jeans. Any suggestions?

I like them, but don't they look a little too dressy to wear with jeans? Are they that versatile?

I concur.

C&J Saville monkstrap. Very versatile and very attractive shoe imo.

And on sale for around $300 on franco's right now too.

Would prefer a dark brown wingtip, plain toe derby or monk (or a wholecut perhaps) because the cap is too severe.

It is US. Franco's is in Richmond.

The 3B last runs a bit narrow and short. For example, in Allen-Edmonds, I'm a 11.5 B US. In the Martegani's on the 3B last, I wear an 11D and it fits quite well. Franco's also allows returns. Come to think of it, all my Mart's are on the same last:

A plain toe brown monk is about as versatile as it gets. I like C&J Malvern, myself.

I wear all my C&Js with suits & jeans.
