Which color do you guys think is most versatile?

I usually wear dark pants/denim.

I've heard that the brown beeswax takes a while to break in/hurt your heels?

I have the sand and the taupe suede, I prefer the sand with dark denim.

Thanks to you both.

I was leaning towards sand, but I have no matching belt.

Or is matching belt-shoe combo a no no here on SF?
