Yay or nay for this brown shoes + charcoal pants combo?

Considering wearing this combo, but I am a bit of a noob and would like the opinion of the experts first.

Shoes are Allen Edmonds tribeca, dark brown.

If it is a go, then what color shirt would you recommend with it? Does a white shirt with a light blue check pattern work?

Looks good to me. Your shirt sounds fine also.

Do it.

Pants are too light and the shoes are too dark. Also, the pants look too long and appear to be rather baggy. Unsolicited on these issues, I know, but... (and the box doesn't help either).

Actually, I'm not wearing the pants in the pic, I'm just holding them up over the shoes.

Thanks to all for the input.

I was wondering if I forgot the laws of physics, but it makes sense now.
