Just kidding (not really

I have red cords, sans the labs and pretty much any shade of brown or black suede would be my first choice. Second would be dark brown boots/dark brown monks. Black leather might be too much of a stark contrast, assuming they are bright an not muted red.

Yeah, I think either white or black would be good depending on the shade of red!

taking the previous 3 recs into account, I think the consensus answer is: any shoe in the world. With pants like that, ain't nobody looking at your feet!

Try the usual suspects, Pakeman Catto & Carter or Cordings.

Clarke & Dawe do better ones, but sadly they do not sell online.

Cool pants!

I'd wear them with a pair of dirty bucks or a pair of saddle shoes like these Allen Edmonds Shelton's

Probably not white shoes. Not in cold weather, anyway.

For shirts, colors that might work (you must consider personal coloring and other factors) include mint green and sky blue. Or you could divert some attention from the pants by wearing a rather casual tailored jacket.

I'm wearing red (burgundy, to be precise) cords as I type this. Your best bet is either cordovan or brown shoes. Right now, I'm wearing them with AE Stockbridges in chili.
