Really depends on the colours you have in your rotation. I for one cant wait to get my hands on either Saddle or Whiskey. Mine is too dark at the moment.

This is a suit shoe, and the two center shoes will work with both grey and navy.

Whats the difference between the whisky and the saddle, I can't really tell from the picture. I currently have a black italian oxford wingtip and an antique cognac budapest oxford, both U, both calf, and was looking to get an old english II in cordovan, which color shade would you suggest I go with next, looking for something that goes well with navy, charcoal, grey suits.

whiskey is more yellow based and saddle is more orange, i think both would be ok but they are also quite light to mid tones too

For dark suits, I'd go with cigar, dark brown, a classic bordeaux.
